Balta1701 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 04:21 PM) Cheers fellas, probably a Spring Training thing alright. 27 pitches for Floyd - 27 strikes. Did he actually throw that or did Gameday just report that? Sometimes they don't even report the accurate pitch count in the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes they don't even report the accurate pitch count in the spring. Just what Gameday is saying but it's logging balls from the Cubs so it seems legit. Perhaps someone watching can confirm.

I think that the Sox staff has been trying to stress to hit it to the opposite field to everyone...even Dunn. Dunn at least talked about going with the pitch more. I believe Alexei mentioned it as well. That is the only way they will improve their averages and OBP...hitting to ALL fields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being able to lay off it is something he'll just have to learn. Being able to turn on it...that timing mechanism might help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteward Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Hitting with power to Right field is not something that Chicago Vice just put into his repertoire. He did it many times last season. I did not check the stats but I would not be surprised if half of his home runs went to Right or Right Center last season. It seems that way from memory. We all know his areas of weakness at the plate and Hawk and Stone have discussed it on-air many times. I agree with their suggestion that Viciedo move up in the batters box or even move a bit closer to the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viciedo has so much trouble with the inside pitch, particularly the up and in pitch, that moving up in the batters box or moving closer to the plate would seemingly make things worse rather than better. Moving closer to the plate would let him cover the outside pitch, but he already covers that pitch. He'd be tying himself up even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Sox slap the Cubs. I loved it. Watched on TV and recorded it to watch again. You can put it on the board YES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
