    Heads of Yankee fans were exploding. Keith Olbermann was not a happy camper on ESPN.
  2. a700hitter
    Kimbo will not have the luxury of yielding a HR.
  3. a700hitter
    Hot hand or due for some regression?
  4. a700hitter
    Mullins just outran Barnes.
  5. a700hitter
    Brasier has been money. Thornburg is still looking for consistency.
  6. a700hitter
    More bullpen woes.

    Exactly my point as you stated "with a shift on the pitcher punishes the hitter inside". The shift takes away part of the plate -- the outside portion -- if the pitcher is going to pitch to the shift. Most of the great pitchers live on the outside half of the plate.

    Good point and Price got his win that he was deprived of.
  9. a700hitter
    Yes, it is.

    If a hitter gets destroyed on a 2 strike pitch on the outside of the plate, if he makes contact at all, he is more likely to not be able to pull the ball.

    i realize that, but I still think that it could make the pitcher pitch to the inner half of the plate to avoid that mistake hit going the other way.

    I caught once or twice in practice. It was hot with all that equipment and after the first foul tip hit me, I flinched on almost every swing. That doesn’t change the fact that Butler is not a major league caliber catcher. I had always assumed that his bat held him back, but it looks pretty clear that defensively he is also substandard.

    Will the weather be a problem for today’s game?

    Kimbrel had better break out of this Home Run streak that he has been on.
  15. a700hitter
    People are always laughing at you.
  16. a700hitter
    Butler needs a basket back there.
  17. a700hitter
    Tying HR to a banjo hitter.
  18. a700hitter
    It is the basis of his workout routine.
  19. a700hitter
    Hembree is not missing many bats lately.
  20. a700hitter
    JD is pretty good.
  21. a700hitter
    It is becoming obvious why Butler is not a major league catcher.
  22. a700hitter
    I am talking about an inadvertent ball hit the other way where a good pitcher just destroys the batter on a 2 strike pitch but the batter is good enough to just get some wood on it. I am not talking about consciously going the other way. I am referring to those situations where a hitter is beat on a pitch.
  23. a700hitter
    If good pitcher like Sale gets 2 strikes on a hitter, I would adjust the shift to protect against it.
  24. a700hitter
    i just think that it takes away from the pitcher the outside pitch to a certain extent, especially when he has 2 strikes on the hitter. If you beat the guy and execute that pitch, you can get screwed. Even batters who refuse to go the other way can get beat and miss hit the ball the other way.
  25. a700hitter
    If the spray charts showed every ball pulled by a hitter, I would agree about the 'dead pull' hitter stuff, but there are usually some balls going to the other side of the field -- probably when a pitcher bet him on the outside of the plate with a good pitch.
