Series Thread: Homecoming for Hamilton and the BoSox are in town

[RevSader]

Elvis really wasn't to blame too much there. Bad base running by Hanser.

Swinging way early in the count when the dude was flustered.

 

[Bmurph]

No reason to be going on contact. 'Twas stupid.

The stupid seems to permeate from the dugout to the field

I am dead serious, he cant stay focused for shit. He makes an error on a routine gb the other night with 2 outs in the ninth and the game on the line. Thats when he should be the most focused all night. I think something is wrong with the kid and it has happened in the last 2 years

I see it more like he thinks he's made it, and just kind of rests on his laurels. The dumb thing is, that will bite you in the ass at this level. Look at Beltre, if anyone should be able to do that, it's him. But that dude brings it every play every night.

Very true.

 

[Bmurph]

You are not getting that corner kid

 

[romeo212000]

Can't walk the #9 hitter Chi Chi.

That was a dumb question about a pitch count, when it is only the 5th inning and he's at 80 pitches now.

He was asking because of the 0's.

 

[RevSader]

Need more strikes.

 

[romeo212000]

You got a 5 run lead chi chi. Quit trying to paint.

Beltre is such a pimp in the field.

Beltre is such a pimp in the field.

Still one of the top 5 best 3b in the game. Maybe top 3.

100 million + dollar contracts for a real young player sometimes helps them feel like they've made it. Not sure how you break that?

Put his ass on the bench for a week. You have to shake their world up.

Yeah I know but it seemed very premature to me, he'd have to throw 130+ pitches probably

 

[Bmurph]

good hustle again AB and it pays off

 

[Duane1952]

Hey Redsox you want a shortstop.

 

[romeo212000]

Anyone else notice a key moment in the game when Hamilton took the walk? The lineup again produced behind him. Those things happening early are key to getting him in the right mindset early and being willing to pass the bat.

 

[Bmurph]

bunt down 3B line is wide open, but Ill take the walk

He wants none of Josh it seems, make him pay Rosie

Any pitcher that has one going stays in the game IMO.
