July 5, 200619 yr Is it just me, or did Brian Anderson look like he made a change in his swing to get it shorter? Especially on his hit last night, it looked like he made an adjustment to get his hands through quicker, and shorten the movement of his arms. Is it just me?
July 5, 200619 yr My brother said it looks like his stance now resembles Konerko's. Maybe he's getting some pointers?
July 5, 200619 yr I noticed that too, and it also looks like uribe has made some sort of change to his stance which has him hittting better.
July 5, 200619 yr Greg Walker has to get some credit here. I'd say 10% All the rest goes to Uribe and BA for putting in the work and getting on track. Especially BA, 'cause he could have just folded after the terrible start, the pressure as a rookie on the champs, etc.
July 5, 200619 yr QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 5, 2006 -> 11:44 AM) Is it just me, or did Brian Anderson look like he made a change in his swing to get it shorter? Esepcially on his hit last night, it looked like he made an adjustment to get his hands through quickers, and shorten the movement on his arms. Is it just me? I dont know about his stance, but yesterday his hands going through the hitting zone were the quickest I have seen. When Brian was really slumping, it looked like he was dragging the bat through the zone. Now he is getting the good part of the bat on a lot of pitches in the zone. If he keeps hitting like this, maybe we can silence the X player needs to be our new CF.
July 5, 200619 yr BA is on the verge of a hitting streak. His ABs have been getting much better for about three weeks. Yesterday he went from 0-2 to walking. When he is making contact, he is driving the all hard somewhere. Too many have been at guys but that is just some luck. He is starting to get confident in the box. He should start having some good games in the very near future. With Uribe hitting the tar out of the ball too, the bottom won't be the easy pass it has been so far this season.
July 5, 200619 yr QUOTE(My Dixie Normus @ Jul 5, 2006 -> 12:02 PM) BA is on the verge of a hitting streak. He had nowhere to go but up, but let's not get crazy here either...

There is no doubt that his is different than before. His bat used to be upright and held out in front of him, but now it is slanted and over his shoulder. It also looks like he is is more closed and maybe squatted down a little further. Edited July 5, 200619 yr by Heads22
July 5, 200619 yr QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Jul 5, 2006 -> 01:35 PM) U think he'll get hot, not Juan Uribe hot, bot hot none the less. I do? Damn that U key being right next to the I one.
July 5, 200619 yr This is what happens. The year goes on, he gets more comfertable, and his swing starts to improve. As long as he's getting good cuts and playing amazing defense, I don't really care what his average is.
July 5, 200619 yr 4/02 - 6/10: .152 BA / .250 OBP / .264 SLUG / .514 OPS 6/11 - 7/04: .234 BA / .321 OBP / .426 SLUG / .746 OPS
