5/25 vs Cleveland

My concern is that if this stuff is so easy for us to see, how is it that the managers aren't seeing it, or how is it that the managers are seeing the same things but the hitters aren't able to change anything.

 

Because hitting and pitching are repetition and muscle-memory based. Once you create a habit through repetition, it's very difficult to break free from it (although it varies from player to player). Managers see this and try to correct it along with the pertinent coach(es), but it's ultimately up to the player to make adjustments.

Iggy w 3 knocks. Just like we drew it up.

I'd be surprised if the coaches aren't also seeing this. It's really easy to see mechanical mistakes, it's a lot more difficult to fix them. And the more a player practices poor mechanics, the more the poor mechanics are committed to muscle memory.

Took the words out of my mouth.

Iggy and Ciriaco doing some damage!!!

[Thunder]

This is the moment. Come on now, give Jonny the chance for a win.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Carp better hit here.

 

Edit: didn't know Hill was up. Give me Gomes vs Shaw over any lefty vs Hill.

[Thunder]

Carp better hit here

 

If he does, Tito goes to Hill.

[Standing Room]

Carp better hit here

 

I'd rather have Gomes against a righty than Carp against Rich Hill.

[TutGadol]

Whoa Gomes grew pubes on his chin.

I will flip my s*** if Gomes K's or GIDP's here.

[Thunder]

I'll take that. This one is tied!

[SoxFanForsyth]

Thatta boy Gomes!!!

[Thunder]

Pedey can put us ahead now.

[Standing Room]

Solid, fundamental baseball. Good job Gomes.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Come on Pedey give Lester a chance for the W!!

[SoxFanForsyth]

Shaw is not even looking at Ellsbury.

[Thunder]

Well, Sox tie it up and Lester gets a ND. I'll take it because Lester definitely didn't deserve to lose today.

[Standing Room]

Gomes hardly ever hits the ball on the ground.

[TutGadol]

What's Lester's pitchcount? My gameday is broken

Whoops, he's still out there.

[Thunder]

107 as of right now.

[Thunder]

Gomes hardly ever hits the ball on the ground.

 

Do you want him too?:harhar:

[SoxFanForsyth]

Kazmir was getting that call off the plate all freaking day and Lester hasn't gotten it once. Absolutely ridiculous.

Lester should not have started this inning.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Taz should be facing Reynolds

[TutGadol]

Curve K?

[SoxFanForsyth]

Why the heck isn't Taz in right now again?!?
