Harry Chappas Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 11:18 PM) He looks incredibly stiff vs RHP, which slows down his bat speed and makes it nearly impossible for him to clear his hips to pull the ball with any authority. If you watch him against LHP, he seems to open up so much better. Whatever philosophy ole steve was going to bring from Oakland it is not working.

We had our chances and didn't capitalize. Go get them tomorrow, a 4-3 homestand would be great, and 5-2 homestand would be better. THey need to start winning multiple games. As it stands this team is going to be fourth or distant third. Edited April 24, 2015 by bmags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it stands this team is going to be fourth or distant third. if they win the next three (yes i know tall order) they'll be back at .500. if they split the series they're still in it. Get out of april around .500 and we'll be fine. Offense hasn't hit their stride and i have a really f***ing hard time believing they're going to continue to score just two runs a game.

caulfield12 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 10:15 PM) can't believe LaRoche has turned into Dunn. It's early, but Morales looks to have been a much better possible fit. And it was a perfect time for the Royals to pick him up salary-wise, coming off the disastrous "sitting out" experiment of 2014 and then going through an in-season spring training malaise with Minny and then SEA. He's definitely going to put up better numbers than Butler this season, IMO. And he's a better fit leadership/chemistry-wise with their younger Hispanic players. Just like missing out on Victor Martinez...Miguel Cabrera, we're usually a day late and 50 cents short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Biggest issue with Sox lineup right now is that there is no power at all outside of Abreu/LaRoche. Hard to score a lot of runs when you have minimal power and a team that doesn't walk much. 3rd base is a position that looks to need a serious upgrade. With Johnson/Eaton on this roster likely to be starting for the next few seasons, you can't have gaping power issues in RF and 3B as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watch him against LHP, he seems to open up so much better. I don't buy that. He is a rotational hitter. He goes bat knob first, hands tight, and then the bat follows through. The bat speed is generated by how quickly he gets his bat knob forward in this style. His stance is stiff because you are taught to drive into the ground and widen out in that style.

Condor13 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) Only good thing that came from that game is that some of our players showed some f***ing life and heart and in that scrum. Sale, Shark, Q (reports), and Eaton all had some fire in them and were not gonna let those punks come into our house and take it over. I loved what the Shark did, he showed the team he is with them 100 %. I do wish it was Q, Danks, or Noesi bc Rodon can fill their shoes better then they can themselves. Our team needs something to get their bats going hopefully this was it. Edited April 24, 2015 by Condor13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And eventually replacing Alexei, although he might turn out to be ageless. Thompson, Hawkins and Anderson can be thrown at the RF issue...catcher, there's simply no internal replacement. MAYBE Nieto...but I wouldn't bet my house on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
