What's so frustratingly obvious to anyone watching on TV is the deep knee bend that he does... If he eliminates that, or just cuts down on it, all of those infield pop ups turn into line drives and HRs.

 

 

His swing can be broken down like this

 

 

 

1.) Joe Crede's brain tells his body to start to swing

2.) Cruddys body says why swing its a lovely night, and look over there is that an owl?

3.) Cruddys brain says, dammit start the swing

4.) Cruddy moves the front foot over and it starts to turn

5.) Cruddys hips start to fly open

6.) His swing starts a downward arch towards the batting plane

7.) Cruddy opens up completly his knee bends

8.) Cruddys back shoulder dips down so he can get the golf swing into effect

9.) A wooshing noise is heard as the 91mph fastball wisps past cruddys bat

10.) about a half a second latter the bat wooshes through the strike zone

11.) Cruddy follows through on the swing so hard, his head snaps

12.) Cruddy slams his bat down

You would think Greg Walker would point that out Like 2 years ago.

 

 

Greg is working on breaking everyones swing down. The team should be hitting 210 by July.

 

AJ for years has been a very good batting at hitting the ball the other way. AJ is now opening his hips up and pulling the ball more. He credits Greg Walker for helping him with his new stance and approach on his power stroke. He better not learn japanese.

I dont want to know. He probably lurks on this board and would pick it up and then gooch would be batting 240.

Quote from last year

 

SEE A DIFFERENT GAME: Hitting coach Greg Walker couldn't identify a specific physical problem during his team's prolonged hitting woes, aside from the fact the Sox were trying to pull the ball too often. The struggles were more a case of sagging confidence that caused several hitters to tinker with their swings and develop mechanical problems. Recently, the team's confidence has returned.--Scott Merkin

 

 

Sounds familiar. Next year and we still have prolonged hitting slumps. The only reason we are doing well now with this offense is speed at the top. Guys hitting clutch at the top. And our outstanding pitching.

Don't count his games against the sox and his numbers really are not that impressive :P

Tomorrow night we face Chris Young owner of a 3.22 ERA. A nice 6'10 righty. Someone needs to step the f*** up and start hitting.
