fathom Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Terrific execution again by the Sox. Since Iguchi hasn't done s*** in the 2 hole the last few weeks, why not move him down in the lineup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Its Ozuna retarded. How do you get picked off second after having such a positive start. Man on second with no outs. How do you not know that a pitcher may have a spin move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 21, 2005 -> 02:20 PM) Keep wasting our best hitter's ab's....... :sleep Why is he our best hitter? He's batting just 9 points higher than Konerko, shares Kongs poor RISP stats, hits for less power than Kong, walks less than Kong, and strikes out at a much higher rate than Kong.

fathom Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 BTW, on the pregrame today, Iguchi supposedly told Rooney that he felt like he lost his rhythm at the plate when Ozzie sat him on the bench for those two consecutive games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Now if Gooch gets a bunt down. Ozuna is at third. Rowands fly to right scores Ozuna. But hey thats the pre-retarded sox of this year who would of done it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSGuy406 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 This game is just about a must-win. If the Sox are lucky enough to get six good innings out of Contreras, give it to the bullpen for Cotts-to-Politte-to-Hermanson, or a combination of the three. The Indians are going to win today, and a win today would be huge going into the roadtrip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually don't blame Ozzie for this. Iguchi might be hitting the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We took a number 3 hitter and asked him to become a number 2 hitter this year. Its a difficult transition, you go from being aggressive at the plate to having to wait a long time take a lot of pitches. He is always batting with 2 strikes. Hitting to right when you hit the ball further back in the hitting zone is how you hit to right with power, gooch has been dong it differently by utilizing a front step towards first and closing his stance off. That approach while successful, will prone you to slumps because of pitchers starting to beat you in on the hands. Its the direct opposite of trying to pull every pitch. Neither approach is good. You have to hit the ball where its pitched. If you try to pull a pitch on the outside corner we get classic corpseball, when you try and hit an inside pitch to right you get some real ugly looking swings.

fathom Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Good to see Jermaine Dye following the game plan that Greg Walker had. Walker said they wanted all the hitters to be jumping on the first fastball they saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Iguchi should hit 3rd, he has to take alot of pitches w/ Pods on base, and has to sacrifice alot of his ab's to get risp. I believe he could hit .300, 20+ hr's, 100 rbi's batting 3rd. Rowand should bat 2nd, it will help him focus more on his ab's, get him more fastballs to hit, also he can hit the ball to the right side fairly well......... But that's just my opinion.

We have a low OBP for a reason. Work the f***ing count a bit. Its not like he is working with pinpoint control today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
