fathom Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 24, 2007 -> 01:29 AM) You would think with all of the thumpers on our team, that we would take pitches better. I mean if we could see half the pitches that the As see, we would have something. We don't have a team with a lot of patient hitters though. It's amazing how bad Crede is at drawing walks, at this point in his career. Erstad, for all the pitches he sees, doesn't walk often either.

winninguglyin83 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Walker said they were finally turning it around, that the first seven weeks were a struggle, that despite the struggle they had battled and not put the team in a big hole and that he thought they were on the right track. EXCEPT when Cy Young Gaudin was pitching. uribe is our strike zone, take a walk guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Good to see the Fire Walker thread got bumped up. As if this game is not a reminder enough that our offense is not cured because of 3 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colby Lewis = cure for every hitting coach. In all honesty, we're going to see 3 really tough pitchers in our next 4 games.

As if this game is not a reminder enough that our offense is not cured because of 3 games. People have hit Chad. There are no teams outside of the sox that he dominates and 2 hits over 5+. Someone needs to throw sliders in batting practice. It like they never saw one before. I love it when our high priced sluggers take pitches for strike 3.

Then he gets 2 hit by Cy Young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Time for the sox to hit the f***ing ball. 2 runs, that is the challenge. Stop trying to be superheros. Do what you did over the last few games, and hit it where its pitched. 1 run in 11 innings against the best pitcher in baseball. Lefties hit this guy at a .280 clip.

This has been the problem for the last 7 weeks, not the weather, not their heads. Just expanding the zone, trying to park pitches all over the place. There is no reason that we are getting 2 hit by this guy. I could care how great everyone makes him out to be. People hit him. They might not score a ton of runs off of him. But this is embarassing.

fathom Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 The best chance to score 2 runs is for Erstad to grind his way on base, Iguchi to do what he does best and make an out, and then have Thome bomb a low sinker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
