Other teams know we're trying to "work the strike zone." So they pound the strike zone and get ahead. The hitting stats would show how much worse a hitter is when behind in the count. I think we have 2 batting coaches? They're not doing a very good job if the entire line-up can't hit. Canha alone has cost us at least 2 games hitting in the 2 hole. A double play waiting to happen.
I agree. I was doing some work with one ear on the TV. Who the F cares when Craig got drafted? They ignore the game, don't call play by play and giggle like idiots. Benetenddi (or whatever his name is) may be good but get those jocks outta the booth!
If they're playing the stats now, stop it. It's not working. Keith hasn't hit 2nd yet, it may get him going. My point it, do something. Shake things up.
Hitting 2nd I think? Either way, he's a horrible situational hitter. Cost us the extra inning game against the Twins, woulda cost us yesterday if Minny handled his DP grounder that went for a 2 run double. And then today, rolling over grounders to the left side of the IF. Rally killers.
Yeah, at the end of the season, they only count the victories, not how they were won. We do need to clean up our at bat approach though. Can't count on getting this lucky too many times. Our pitching and defense looks pretty good, for the most part.
Yeah, Tork, a dead pull hitter just blooping a hit to RF. It was actually a very good piece of hitting. Well done. But the Twins defense handed us the game, Canha's 2 run hit was a missed DP.
