That first batter walk was awful. Just awful. And Swisher rambling around after it like a half retarded' date=' paraplegic bull didnt help.[/quote']

You take the good with the bad. Swisher brings some pop, and he makes pitchers work, but he's an absolute numbskull of a baseball player who lacks talent manning RF.

The route was abysmal. I hope you get to see it on Sportscenter. It was to RCF, not smoked and Swish took a right angle approach, was still near it when it bounced, but forgot to get his glove up. It was abysmal

Which is what you will get with Swisher on occasion, and was my point all along.

Oh, you are right, I just hope you get to see the amazing butchery. BTW, Soriano actually looks pretty good

Does 3000 come in the first year of the new contract' date=' or the second?[/quote']

 

It wouldnt surprise me if he ends up with a BA of .250 this yr. I expected him to work hard and tweak the stance a bit. He's still got some ability to go the other way, but the top hand rollover has been his predominant result the past yr plus. And his bat speed is slowwww. Any fastball belt high or above isnt reachable unless he cheats, which is why he's rolling over the breaking pitches to SS

First year.

Absolutely, it was a rhetorical said in jest given the way he has looked this season.

He fallen behind all night in the count. He's nearing 30 pitches. He's also like next to wakefield as the oldest player. Joe Maddon would call out a new reliever for each hitter.
