I see he volunteered to appear in the HR derby.That should further mess up his swing.

 

Also volunteering to be in the HR derby are Barnes, Workman, and Brasier, they have been asked to be BP pitchers by a long line of hitters.

It seems to me that most left-handed batters have pretty swings.

 

Not when they get too big they don't. Beni is about as far away from Teddy Baseball's swing as it gets.

 

But now we are witnessing another Beni dynamic that is an annual occurrence. This is where he gets frustrated and starts feeling sorry for himself. "Oh gee wiz, everybody is hitting but me.....whaaaaaaaa". He stops looking for pitches in locations and predetermines that he is going to swing and just swings right through pitch after pitch. Its sorta' like he gets tired of his all too familiar post swing pop-up posture and just says f*** it.

Bradley has a bizarro, ugly swing at times, but he's catching up to Beni slowly, but surely. If JBJR could just avoid that opening 2 month annual horrific, bench-worthy slump, he'd be an All-Star every year

Maybe a change of scenery would be good for him. DD, why don't you ask the BJ's GM if he'd be interested in a Giles' trade for Beni and whatever it takes.

I think he's just one of those country bumpkins that would do better in a smaller market. He can't handle or doesn't like the spotlight.

 

I believe that's now referred to as Crawfordphobia.

I would absolutely love to see Giles here even if his cranky wing IS still an issue (recent news is that its not). Beni...they can have Beni+ for Giles in an instant in my book. But I am afraid that the Jays will wait until there are a number of suiters that come calling for Giles and we will simply be unable to compete for him at that point. There is only one way the Bucket-o-fried chicken Bullpen Bums have a chance and Cora has a chance....that being coming from the back end forward. If you can't Close games and really are pulling names from a hat to get to the Closer, you are frankly dead and too stupid to fall over. A real Closer is ONE player. Heck of a lot easier to deal with this mess getting that one player than the way the Sox have approached it so far.

 

Heck, I would take an over the hill Closer compared to the crap we throw out there every night.

I think during the ASG break the SOX should have an open tryout for relief pitchers. Just come to Fenway and show them what you got.

 

Actually, there's a better chance of finding a quality pitcher that way then finding one who went thru the SOX organization.

I should be a Vegas odds maker. I said earlier when it was 8-2 that the over and under for the bullpen was 4. They gave up 4 so both bettors would have lost to the house. LOL.

Sad to hear about tyler skaggs. Whole future ahead of him. I just hope it was something natural.

 

Tyler Skaggs is the 2nd young pitcher who died while a member of the Angels. In 2009 Nick Adenhart was killed in a car accident by a drunk driver.
