He will figure it out. You guys sound as if you think Beckham and other young hitters aren't trying to work on their weaknesses
Beckham's has had a ton of chances with the White Sox to "figure it out".

8-6 against the Twins and Royals this season is not going to cut it.
Should be 10-4 or 9-5 at worst.
Twins might look a lot different in a week.
It sounds like Dbacks have a trade partner in mind for Roberts, so I'd be stunned if it was KW and the Sox. More likely to be a team like the A's or Orioles.

A good defense doesnt mean much if he misses his spots like that. He needs to hit them consistently. He has done that up until this game. Lets not crown him anything yet.
Sale got crushed on Saturday cause he missed his spots.

Beckham's timing is just awful. He's starting late and he's in his own head. Very little chance he recovers anytime soon.
Yep, and now isn't the time for him to try and figure it out.
That pitch couldn't have been more in his wheelhouse to hit into the LF bullpen. Instead, he's doing that stupid windmill swing that has no chance but to pop it up to right. I have absolutely no problem with KW trying to trade him this week.

He wasnt going to keep a 2.30 ERA for the entire year. He cant make mistakes like that.
Of course not, did anyone say he would be a low 2 ERA pitcher?

Josh is a 99% pull hitter and we throw him middle in.
Exactly, and you could tell from the first pitch he fouled off he was in pull mode.

PK14 is back muthaf***as!!!!
Ironically, I don't think he's even close to being locked in. His approach is much better, and he's swinging with a lot more confidence.
