RockRaines

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 09:53 AM) No kidding!! A 52 yarder to end the half into that tiny little space inbetween the uprights a couple stories above the ground....great leg strength and accuracy. I guess he could hit a 53 yarder into that little space. Pretty good IMO.

I was a Cf'er for most of my little league career, batting lead off. Actually set a LL record in my area for most walks in a season. Was a rare switch hitter as well. Once I then moved up leagues I was primarily a catcher and 3B. Hit for power mostly, but my alley was Right center when batting RH, and RF when LH. After that, I couldnt really play much do to other sports, and gave it up except for games once in awhile. Now I dabble in some wooden bat leagues.

The Rush's placekicker should seriously be in the NFL. That guy was super accurate.

Im beginning to wonder if this shoota character is even a sox fan.

He is such a better hitter against RHP in his career. He needs to play everyday, with Mack giving him his days off.

God, I cant even speak enough about BA starting against RHP.

Seriously, why did it take so long to start BA against a RHP?

BTW, play BA against RHP, wow what a f***ing concept.

QUOTE(shoota @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 06:31 PM) I appreciate Greg Walker's history with the Sox organization, but I'm interested in finding a hitting coach better than him. I want a hitting coach as good at his craft as Don Cooper is as pitching coach. Coop has the ability to find and fix fringe pitchers like Loaiza, Contreras and Thornton, and I'd like a hitting coach who could do the same with hitters. Now something is his fault? You do know what our record is right? Seriously, stop these threads.

QUOTE(T R U @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 11:23 PM) Dude, you can disagree all you want but bench press works a hell of a lot more than just your shoulders.. Its a great lift for chest and arms, you arent looking at the whole thing here. It seems like youre just focusing on the shoulder part Best thing is, I never discounted bench pressing. I love it, in fact dumbell bench press is one of my favs. Not sure where he got that fact. Maybe RNW's hate of me moved over into other peoples opinion.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 10:34 AM) What RockRaines was suggesting, is borderline terrible. To maintain lean muscle mass, you must eat a pre-bed meal, something slow digesting. Perhaps some cottage cheese, if you don't mind eating some carbs, milk would be another good option, or if you have muscle milk on hand, thats an excellent option. I was asking Rock if he was designing a diet for someone with an eating disorder, nothing against you, my pretty lady. Where are you learning this nonsense? Steff, eating three undersized meals spread over 24 hours all the while having a morning run on a stomach that hasn't been filled in 10+ hours is having her eat more 'regularly' and frequently? If she wants to lose all the lean muscle mass she has, then you're giving some heads-up advice; i just prefer the way Steff looks now to the Ethopian look you're advising her to become. Secondly, the high weight/low reps for tone is not legit. When I get home from work, I'll post numerous studies and information on why genetics and diet make your muscles look the way they are, moreso than training. As for Muscle Milk, I think its a great tool, pre-bed, although it is extremely high in fat. Do not drink Muscle Milk post workout, use a more fast digesting protein powder, the one that TRU suggested, ON Whey or some other type of Whey. Seriously, what are you even talking about. The advice we have been giving was for someone to lose fat around the midsection and become more lean. Thanks for bascially recommending the protein that I said earlier, especially when I said use Isopure post workout which is good for lean mass. And the way you work out does impact the way you look. As high reps low weight do not neccessarily tear your muscle fiber which leads to bulking or rebuilding of muscle tissue. I use pyramid sets when I do weights anyway, and I prefer that method. Your post comes off as argumentative for no reason. There is no right or wrong in this issue, it really depends on how the person responds. And saying that my advice was borderline terrible is atrocious. Your suggestion is to eat carbs right before bed huh? I would love to see if you have ever actually cut or lost weight in your life, not to mention lean muscle mass. Maybe you should read the thread before you give advice.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 10:23 AM) He has had more ABs against RHP (62) than LHP (58). Not a huge sample size by any means, though. Honestly, i think his struggles are not mechanical as much as mental. I am not sure what facing more RHP's will do. Give him another look at least. The whole team sucks balls agsint LHP it seems, so why wouldnt it help to give him a shot against RHP as well. He is the future, and we need to remember that.

Just please give him a chance against RHP before we send him down.

Cleveland's pitching is atrotious. Its absolutley horrible. Det has a much better rotation and pen.

seriously, change the title of the thread to done for his career

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 11:55 PM) Does Steff have an eating disorder? 2 below averaged size meals, 1 normal-big meal? That's just not right, nor should anyone stop eating at six. I can't even imagine not eating past six, waking up the next morning, lets say, 7:30.. and to top it off, after 13.5 hours of starvation mode, you opt not to breakfast and run? High reps, Low weight does not help you 'tone and burn some of that extra fat around the edges.' Your muscles look the way they do because of how skinny or big you are, just like your abs. Genetics determine the size, shape, vascularity, etc. of your body. Good advice on the bench press, it is far overrated, but still one of the superior compound excercises that someone should perform. With that being said, it's definitly an ego excercise. What kind of advice are you giving here? No, Steff does not have an eating disoder, I was simply making her eat more regularly. Which not only helps your nutrition, but also your metabolism. Ssecondly, the reps vs weight discussion is legit, someone who points to genetics is too f***in lazy to work out. High reps with low weight is for tone, low reps, high weight is for mass. If you would liket to gain mass I would try pyramid reps. Start with what you can do 10 reps of, then work your way up to a weight which you can only do 2. Prob around 5 or 6 sets. That should help you with your mass. Also add more protein shakes like muscle milk into your diet.

Nelson is done for his career, and rightly so.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 07:51 PM) Anderson's bat vs. Verlander's fast ball right now? Mack isn't that good right now either, but at least he might make contact. Seems like he can only hit a fastball. Case in point: King Felix.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 07:44 PM) I didn't realize he was Babe Ruth vs righties. He is significantly better vs RHP over his career.

Ive never seen PODS with Opposite field power like that.

im so sick of Ozzie's bulls***. Why the f*** dont you play BA against RHP?? He is better against RHP. What the f***.

get into chat b****es.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 01:47 PM) The big key for Sean is to throw strikes. If he does that his stuff should keep him here. I think alot of people on here are going to turn on sir walks alot quickly.

who gets the call up?

QUOTE(3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 03:03 AM) Just wondering what protein shakes? I'm big on water. Once in a while I'll have Gatorade (though I hear it takes out some important things that water puts in?). Some soda (without caffeine) and sometimes apple juice as well Anyone ever tried Slimfast? I think I'd be embarrased to buy it, but they are still in business... I use two different kinds of protein shakes. Isopure, which is low on carbs and cals, and fat. I use then if I feel I need to get leaner. If im bulking or not worrying about my weight I use Muscle Milk, which is delicious, but is higher on cals and fat content.
