Balta1701 Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Back on the topic of the Detroit RF...did anyone else flip over to a Detroit game to see the guy hitting? He looks like a totally different batter at the plate. I've seen Ordonez come to the plate several thousand times, and it seemed to me like he almost always came up there looking exactly the same...his weight entirely on his back leg and a very closed stance. He'd then shift his weight and stay closed before swinging as well as anyone in the league not named Albert. He looked like a totally different guy at the plate. His weight was far more balanced (he looked like A-Row almost in that regard) and his batting stance was far more open -- his front leg was much farther back than it used to be. I also think his hands were in a different spot. He seriously looks like a totally different hitter up there. My initial thought was that maybe he had to change the way he stands because of his knees - if they're not as strong as they used to be, then he couldn't shift his weight as well as he could to start last year, and he'd have to adapt to that. Did anyone else see him? Did anyone else take a look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah such as good idea... HAHA! This is why i'm so glad that loser turned down a trade here... HAHA! Since we signed Dye and Hermanson before the RJ talks even came up Since, at the very least, we would have had a rotation of RJ, Garcia, Buehrle, Contreras Since when do you know exactly that RJ would have put up these exact numbers in a White Sox uniform? Whose to say whether the pressure of playing in New York has or hasn't gotten to him? You can't prove, honestly and truthfully, that RJ would not be 10-2 2.50 1.00 WHIP right now for the White Sox. I can't prove that he's not 7-6 4.24 either. Get the f*** over it. BE f***ING HAPPY THAT THE TEAM IS PLAYING THE WAY THEY ARE AND THAT THEY ARE THE BEST TEAM IN THE MAJORS, AND QUIT DWELLING ON THE PAST.
