    Lowrie Played Since May With a Sprained and Broken Wrist

    This explains his tired looking bat.

    Yeah, and it also explains why a guy who scouting reports said all along was the same from both sides of the plate had such a platoon split.

    Would an injury in his left wrist cause more damage to his lefty ABs? Then it definitely would make sense.

    Yes, since it is his lead wrist.

    Yes. Your bottom wrist generates more power than your top wrist.

    Other way around.

    Well this explains his bit of a slump towards the end of the season.

    Hopefully he will come back strong and healthty next season and keep puting up numbers.

    Yeah I had no idea. Gives me more hope that he'll improve in 2009 though.

    This reminds me of last year when Dustin Pedroia had his injured hand all during the postseason.

    These young guys have balls.

    He's talking about when he hits LH. Lefty's, trust me, I know, I am one, have the RH on the bottom. And, the lead wrist (RH for lefty's, LH for righty's) is the guide wrist, not the power wrist. The top, or trail, wrist provides the power.

    Think about it this way. Imagine trying to hit the ball one handed. Are you going to hit it farther with your LH hitting backhanded, or with your RH hitting forehanded? Also, consider the biomechanics. What range of motion is supported by bigger, more powerful muscle groups? The outer deltoid supporting a backhand motion, or the tricep / lats supporting the forehand motion?

    Is it weird that I just spent a couple minutes with my bat doing this?

    between the injuries that Beckett, Lowrie, Lowell, Ortiz and Drew (and those are the guys we've heard about) were playing with, I wouldve loved to have seen what this team could have done if they were healthy

    Re: Lowrie Played Since May With a Sprained and Broken Wrist

    HOW THE HELL DID THIS TEAM PUT THAT SERIES TO 7 GAMES???

    HOW THE HELL DID THIS TEAM BEAT THE ANGELS???

    What next, more retroactive reports of shoulder problems for Daisuke? It was a factor earlier this year and would explain the wildness and dip in velocity.
