Beltran's incompetence in the field ends up paying dividends

Carlos get your wheels going.

Game Day showed that Holland didn't throw a single fastball that inning.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

That swing did it for me. Later.

I wonder if we lead the league in swinging at pitches forehead high.

 

[donaldson79]

It would be nice if our offense would help Derek out.

Really hate saying this, but I don't see anything which encourages me.

Granted, I don't watch other teams daily. But it sure looks like we swing at a lot of bad pitches game-n-out.

Sent Romeo to the liquor cabinet

I might start.

 

[Bmurph]

I swear I see this happen more than once every inning (usually on first pitch).

Ive hated the approach for the last month and a half. Look at strike 1 and swing at the second pitch no matter where it is and then take strike 3 down the middle or swing at a pitch neck high.

Incompetence base running helped a little

 

[Duane1952]

Alright offense, time for some runs.

 

[jaar01]

Something is terribly amiss with our hitting approach. Does any of this fall on the hitting coach? This crap has been going on for damn near 2 months now.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Incompetence base running helped a little

And incompetence by the 3rd base coach. It all worked well for us.

 

[DT LUNA]

Swing the bat Derek

 

[Bmurph]

Holland now 1-14

 

[DT LUNA]

Swing the bat Derek

Just like that son. Just listen to DT

 

[donaldson79]

I might start.

I'm knee deep myself.

 

[donaldson79]

Holland now 1-14

Well.....He's 1 for 2 tonight mister. So there! ha

 

[Bmurph]

Damn foul

 

[donaldson79]

Swing the bat Derek

Who was it who was saying earlier about Holland being "told" not to swing?

 

[Bmurph]

Hey guys its the 5th we can score now

or not, shit

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Desmond had some good pitches to hit with those 1st two strikes.
