he was out no matter when he started sliding

It's a much larger problem that needs to be corrected.

Heard a few boos that time.

my oh my

 

terrible at bat

Wow Becks, this is not your day... correction, this is not your year.

So no one told you life was gonna be this way

Your job's a joke, you're broke

Your love life's DOA

It's like you're always stuck in second gear

When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month

Or even your year

Wow Becks, this is not your day... correction, this is not your year.

 

His strikeout swing looks like he is bailing in an effort to get back to the dugout quickly.

true, apparently they dont teach baserunning and sliding in cuba?

 

I think Gordon will have a strong second half

 

Hopefully Flowers and Morel provide him a lot of protection down in AAA

His swing is like 5 parts right now...I can't believe they continue to let him try this terrible approach. Everything is flailing every possible direction.

From what I've seen the only thing they teach players in Cuba is how to swing from the heels on every pitch regardless of speed or location.

i agree he could benefit from a stint in charlotte but what do you think he is long term. is this just a blip on his way to stardom like we all expected after last year. or is he gonna end up being another disapointment?

 

 

And people weren't willing to give him up for Agon last year. If we only had a crystal ball.

Why can't it rain?

Might want to stop throwing them anything good on the first pitch.

lol, you beat me to it.

I still wouldn't do it but that's just me.

This has been just an extremely ugly game for Beckham..... I wanted to let him get through it but they have to definitely consider sending him down now....

I'm not sure, more than anything else, his lack of power really worries me. The ball just isn't jumping off of his bat.

Definitely. Every at bat is very awkward and mechanical looking. He has a Fukudome-like bailing movement with his front foot that gives him no chance at all to do anything productive.

is Grudz available

Well maybe they can have someone take a look at his swing, besides the amateur psychologist that believes its only in his head.

 

Jeez, this umpire has sucked big time.

I cut him some slack - he's young, he's changed positions twice, he had a great rookie season and now he's taking his lumps. He'll come out of it.

And people weren't willing to give him up for Agon last year. If we only had a crystal ball.

I know its easy to say now, but I never understood why everyone labeled him as a sure thing, cant miss superstar right from the beginning. I guess it was because we really haven't had any elite prospects since the early 90's.

very nice
