Harry Chappas Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 12:18 PM) You mean when we started joking Pena must have gotten another PED shipment? Good call though, Dunn's definitely swinging better. Just need him to let it rip I think he may have changed something to make better contact and the power will come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 The strategy on Alex Rios is obvious. Throw ball right down the middle, as easy to hit as humanly possible, and he will do nothing with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapzk Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 sadly Rios and Dunn are both lost-causes for this yr. One can hope they can bounce back for next yr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Jackson has been hanging far too many breaking balls, and he has limited command of the fastball. He better shape his ass up, quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made a nice pitch to Cabrera to strike him out after hanging tons of pitchers prior to that. Maybe he's adopted the Buerhle approach of throw strikes and let them hit it . Just change speeds and get some location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rios just INSISTS on turning that bat head over and grounding out to the left side on middle-away. Get a freaking little-league clue you overpaid idiot.
