Could it affect his swing? Particularly the inner half, something he already struggles with...

Seems like everyone is rung up on check swings around the league as well

Bonds went from being a surebet HOFer to the best player I've ever seen. Remember, at age 42 he still OPS'd .1045. 30 HRs in 350ABs.

Not sure if anyone else heard this, because Rongey made no mention of this on his last update. B & B mentioned it. Did not have a source though, just said that they were.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 29, 2013 -> 09:20 AM) Going to be hard to get into that first or second position, though. I want to believe

It's amazing what confidence can do for a player.

QUOTE (Nokona @ Oct 6, 2011 -> 04:32 PM) Do you people ever not act like a bunch of children? Robin hasn't left the game, he's been doing various announcing jobs all over the place, most prominently at the CWS. He's very intelligent, very personable, and was a great ball player. Calm the f*** down.

I swear that I may be imagining this (or possibly it's a Farmer call) but Frank hit a walkoff against the Twins sometime in 03 or 04 after a wild game and it went SWUNG ON DEEP AND INTO THE NIGHT YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOARD

You people care way too much about some douchebag writer.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 5, 2012 -> 02:05 PM) Still can't believe they didn't go out and get a 1B this offseason Morse is injured. Unless they wanted him out in RF?

Adam LaRoche is off to a brilliant 2012 here. Horrible K with runners on and then that... Jesus. ...He waited 6 months for this?

Are we really going to do this the whole season? We got what we wanted, he's gone. Stop being like this.

Not sure if this has been posted but the gentleman over at Beyond the Boxscore tout Morel as a breakout star this year after he placed #7 on HR/FB rates. The previous years have seen top 10 nobodies like Bautista and Zobrist explode after placing on this list. http://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2012/2/23...t-jose-bautista

Please let me let me let me get what I want this time

I want to believe.

Those poor Astros...

Swing a deal for McCutchen Kenny!

Sign Orton. Trade 7th round pick for Grossman. QB T Formation.

It's the organizational thing. I look forward to success in 2012. Carlton and Robin were very tight. Maybe you'll almost get that wish.

Clearly its Brett Lawrie guys

He and Walker said he had fixed his swing about 2 or 3 weeks ago and he started to hit the ball alot harder. I think he's back.
