May 31, 200520 yr The board kinda sucks today, with only threads on second guessing and other uninteresting ideas for me to read. I figured I would post some good insight from yesterday. 1. Willie Harris-uncharacteristically draws a walk and then steals second, who is this new player, and where have you been? 2. Patience at the plate. Several walks yesterday including big frank's turning into a run, nice to see some plate discipline. 3. Sell out, great fans yesterday, especially with Frank's ovation and Ozzie's tribute. 4. Curly fries, I cant say enough about how awesome these are, I crave it with a polish daily.

Looking back, he would have scored regardless being that Crede walked right after him, but that was an impressive sequence of events for Willie.

Seriously, I definatley second guessed having Willie in there, but we have been looking for that approach at the plate and in the basepaths for awhile now. Good to see Willie have some success at what we think he should be good at.
May 31, 200520 yr I will agree that Willie seems to be making more quality work of his times in games this year. When he tried stealing second on the foul ball, and when he finally did steal it, he was very decided in his move to second. Last year he seemed tentative and unsure of himself. If we can have that kind of speed and a basestealing threat coming off of the bench, that is awesome for the late innings.

I thought a major difference as well was that he didnt appear to stutter step before he reached the base. One of SPODS biggest strengths is that he knows how many steps it is to second and his timing is impeccable, maybe willie has been trying the same technique.

Hawk and DJ made it sound like he had the base easily. If he finally figures out the art of stealing bases, that could make him a huge asset off the bench.

I never feel comfortable when Ozzie brings in Willie in situations, but I must admit, I may be warming up to the fact that he makes opposing teams a little nervous with his speed.
