What is Walker's hitting philosophy? And don't just say "lift and pull."

 

I mean, we all know what Coop's pitching philosophy is and what he preaches and it filters down the organization. He says it all the time.

 

But has Walker ever said anything about his keys to hitting or what the approach should be?

 

 

He's big on solo home runs when down by lots of runs.

Is that a cutter he's throwing down and in on righties? It's filthy

Nice job by Danks, inning over.

The idea that I thought was that he let's guys decide how they want to approach hitting and then works with them as the back of their baseball card tells you what you need to know. I am not certain he actually works on a philosophy.

 

Ramirez nice play, good job Danks too bad your going to be f***ed any time now by the "offense".

 

awesome job by Danks to pitch around the leadoff single. Retires Monroe, still 0-0 going to bottom 4

I think from what I see every hitter doing. Its clear your hips open, dip the back shoulder to elevate and play to the park effect. Swing hard in any count, and dont cut down on your swing at all.

 

 

 

 

Quentin takes the first pitch outside fastball, and then weakly grounds out to 3rd base.

My guess would be his philosophy is get into a hitters count and lay on the hitters pitch. They always are agressive on 3-1, 2-0, 2-1, etc. Like if a pitcher goes 3-0 and he throws a complete get me over to get to 3-1, it seems they are hacking at everything thrown up there. Unfortunately the scouts picked up on this and exploit it

 

just my guess, I have zero idea what Walker's philosophy actually is

Oh. So Fathom was serious. Somehow that rings a bell, but I don't remember him saying it. Can't say I'm happy to hear that.

Sounds like Danks is being effective again. 4IP 4K 3H 0R 1BB

I'm convinced the radar gun is 7 mph slow. That's the only way they can be struggling with such a mediocre fastball.

I'm watching this on the computer, but it said Thome grounded out on a 89 MPH FB in the middle of the plate

BTW, outside fastball to all three hitters starting of their at bats this inning.

Not one person on this team can hit.

That was after he swung and missed an 88 mph fastball down the plate.

Take the "ense" out of offense and that's what we are.

How are people not booing at the game?

Quintin with a sad little roller to third on the second pitch. Walker has gotten to him finally.

 

Here comes the "meat" of the order.

 

Thome making sure that shift is always working.

 

Farmio and Stone really making sure we the listener know why Thome is sucking right now.

 

Stone ripping on this team right now about the stupidity of the team and Konerko validates him nicely with a little looper to left to help Cuddyer get off the field first.

 

Walker needs to be fired based on what Stone is saying.

If this keeps up, the big four besides Cooper need to go.

Kenny stated that you can tell when Quentin was healthy he would crush the ball to right center, that his true power swing was to right center.

Delmon Young K's swinging, 1 dead.

I hate the idea of Quentin in the 2nd spot. He should be batting 4th or 5th, because at least there's a slight chance Thome or Dye or AJP might get on. I really want AJP in the 2nd or 3rd spot.

WHERE THE f*** IS BRIAN ANDERSON?

He's no Jerry Owens defensively, so why does it matter? Sad this is this is the perfect pitcher for him. However, Ozzie will probably play him next time we face a slider specialist starter.
