QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ May 17, 2007 -> 08:31 AM) Something has seriously gone wrong. Slumps shouldn't last this long To take a nice set of stats from Cheat's site. AVG OBP SLG June '06 .296 .352 .464 July '06 .289 .338 .499 August '06 .280 .335 .453 Sept/Oct '06 .259 .325 .432 April '07 .225 .317 .379 May '07 .208 .259 .321 This isnt a slump. Its a f***ing offensive free fall. Fire Walker today.

QUOTE(BearSox @ May 16, 2007 -> 11:37 PM) I didn't see the AB, but if it was once or twice times where he stepped into the bucket, there is no problem with that. Garrett Anderson is a perfect example of guessing for the inside pitch, and stepping into the bucket every so often. Personally, I'd like to see Sweeney do that. Sometimes when he has that 2-0, 2-1 count, he should guess and step into the bucket, get those hips open and drive the inside pitch. Right now the scouting report teams have on him looks something like bust him in with fastballs. But you're right. Consistantly stepping into the bucket is no good. I have never been a proponent of opening up. You can clear your hips by using a quicker stride, or just shifting your weight instead of striding on the inside pitch. Generate some better bat speed and allow that to help you clear through the hitting zone. As a pitcher, when you see a hitter flying open it you never throw something inside that they can cheat on. Uribe was flying open, on outside pitches which he has no chance to hit. Most guys who stand open, close off as part of their timing mechanism. Driving towards the pitching plate, and getting your bat around on the inside pitch is more timing than something you need to change in your mechanics.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 17, 2007 -> 12:13 AM) It's Hall. Keep him away from Walker.

QUOTE(BearSox @ May 16, 2007 -> 11:29 PM) Nothing wrong with stepping into the bucket once in a while... Sometimes you need to guess as a hitter. If a catcher sees a hitter cheating trying to step in the bucket to get around on something, they usually setup away and make it nearly impossible for the hitter to make contact with the ball. 2 things they fix before you get to college. One is a hitch in the swing, the other is stepping into the bucket. If you dont fix that, pitchers will exploit you.

QUOTE(Whitewashed in @ May 16, 2007 -> 11:28 PM) Wow what an asshole. I am a diabetic, and Santo can go f*** himself.

Nice pathetic effort hitters. You should be embarassed.

Uribe with a nice step in the bucket there. His front foot moves towards third base, and then he swings. Dont they fix that s*** in high school. What does Walk do again.

We are down a bunch of runs, and Corpseball Crede pops it up on the 2nd pitch. Pathetic.

QUOTE(premo @ May 16, 2007 -> 11:20 PM) At least our guys get to sit back and watch how a major league team should hit the ball The Royals torched them on Sunday.

Hawk is the Ron Santo of the sox.

Hawk is blaming the umps for Sisco sucking. If its a teacup Hawk, then our hitters are less that s***ty.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 16, 2007 -> 11:08 PM) Someone needs to tell Cooper that Sisco's blessed with a great arm....stop trying to make him into a control pitcher. If he can't let it fly without throwing strikes, then send his ass down to the minors. Someone needs to tell Walker we no longer need your services.

Grinderstad's is a f***ing stud in CF. Now our manager comes out. Someone must of woke him up.

When is this f***ing team going to hit like a medicore team.

3 runs, that should do it. We cant score.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ May 16, 2007 -> 10:14 PM) i cant stand mental errors Its a shock that this game is this close with 1 error by Uribe, a Grindersad Pods impersonation of the leaping tool, and the horrible hitting with RISP tonight by the 3-4-5.

Ozuna with a moron running play there. And DJ blows him, saying that it was a good job. Uh no.

Low and away the corpseball killer. Can we fire Greg yet. I mean this is getting f***ing silly now.

QUOTE(ROC Sox Fan @ May 16, 2007 -> 10:04 PM) Where's the "Ozzie Ball"? You can find that on the island of misfit toys. Ask the Jim in the Box that guards the magical dragon. He will show you the way to the invisible swordsman that holds the secret to bunting and all things bunting.

Corpseball approach by Dye there. Pathetic swing. What will we do when he leaves us next year?

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ May 16, 2007 -> 10:00 PM) You're really getting pissed off over a small joke? Lighten up. PS: slumps don't last two months. Goofy poems and silly songs are a pet peeve of mine.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ May 16, 2007 -> 09:56 PM) It's about the approach, man. Line drives = Kung Foo Well the Coach with your name also associates hitting with obscure non-baseball bulls*** also.
