greg775 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 AJ to me seems to be a pretty smart guy. Â OK, he must know that he at this point in time is probably the worst hitter in baseball. He knows he is slower than any ballplayer alive. He knows that he is a serious DP candidate there. So he hits it right at the ss for the easy DP. Â Now can't he just try to hit into a double play and then maybe he'll actually line a single? Can't he try, uh, something different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sircaffey Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Is it bad that I am starting to get more pleasure from seeing this team fail than I am when they succeed? It's becoming increasingly more humorous... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aj was always at his best when every other at bat he'd flip the ball over the SS for a single, not on a line, just a near-bloop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 (edited) I think if you had to watch the White Sox and Mariners play more than 2 series in one season any baseball fan would go crazy. Â Ugly!

jeffro2525 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Even in the short instances over the last 22 games the Sox have held a lead, it seems like the other team always has the momentum becuase we are constantly missing opportunities, or have an absolute piss poor effort inning at the plate and half inning is over in 2 minutes.

Â You can see signs of AJ fading into becoming an even worse hitter than usual. His bat speed has diminished, and his power's gone with it. In the past, he had enough strength to hit it over the left fielders head. Now, even if he makes good contact to left field, it's playable for the outfield. When he tries to pull the ball, he's not quick enough to avoid rolling over on the pitch. It's what we saw the first few months last year until he finished up strong.

If AJ would accept he's jason kendall and develop a stroke where he could stroke some singles then he wouldn't totally be worthless as he is now. Like you said he has no power. I was stunned he actually hit a home run the other day/week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 (edited) Based on Beckham turning on a fastball and pulling it down the left-field line against Felix in the 8th and his first AB in this game, two consecutive hits FEELS like progress.

greg775 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 What's sad (so far) tonight is Floyd is kicking some ass, but like somebody suggested we have absolutely no momentum and actually may be on our heels, knowing we ultimately will lose because of all the wasted opps.

I know it resulted in a hit, but it was the same bad mechanics that's caused him to struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
