Southwest Sider Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 03:03 PM) too soon to blame Steverson? last year historically bad offense... I always need a scapegoat He really doesn't seem to be doing anything to instill any confidence in these guys. Granted, guys like Avi, Rollins and Avila are complete wildcards as to whether or not they can hold their own as ML hitters, but if those guys are going to have any hope at all, they need a solid hitting coach to at least instill confidence in them. They look like they have none whatsoever. Edited April 21, 2016 by South Sider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 08:04 PM) It's really amazing how often they bring in players and all of a sudden they forgot how to hit. Don't know how Stevenson still has a job. Avila is definitely gonna follow in the footsteps of Keppinger and never be heard from again after his Sox career.

Feeky Magee Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Petricka's getting an insane amount of grounders so far. Limit the walks and he'll be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I just really question our advanced scouting, as our hitters always seem to play into the strengths of the pitcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) These first pitch outs are ridiculous. Is Frazier really going up looking first pitch slider to lead off an inning? If so, that explains why he's sucked so far. Edited April 21, 2016 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 It's easy to blame the hitting coach. At some point, if it's not working, you make a change for the sake of change because that's what happens. Steverson doesn't deserve all the blame, but who gives a s*** if he got canned?

Weaver and Danks are similar in that they don't have the stuff to get outs in the strikezone. If you force them to throw strikes, you can blow them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
