Vicious89x 121,413 #5 Posted April 9, 2009 Heh, after the opening series ugliness, I'll settle for 2 of 3....loved to see the strong performance today though. My thoughts exactly. I'd like to see some better situational hitting this series. The long ball is exciting and awesome but some well placed singles would be welcome as well.

Morrissey 12,829 #9 Posted April 9, 2009 ESPN has him on Saturday, and I believe Peter Abraham said they where going this way as well. This sets CC up to make his 3rd start the home opener at the new stadium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vicious89x 121,413 #11 Posted April 10, 2009 fail That's epic. Not fail. Well I hope we can get some good pitching. I'm not getting high on our last win... last year it was feast or famine with the hitting. We'd score 11, then the next 3 score 3. It'd be nice to see consistency and I'd love to see Swish continue to produce and fight his way into that line-up. Nady is a nice player but I'd rather see a high OBP guy who works counts. Nady fits right into Kevin Longs school of hitting of take, swing, swing out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it's big in North Jersey where I grew up Even though Swisher doesn't drive in the run there I like to see him work counts. Makes me feel the next time he's up he'll get a hit or draw the walk.

I"m on the radio as usual As Norway said... I'd love to just work that count and get to that bullpen. The truth is it felt like last year we were just taking first pitch strikes all year and pitchers stayed in 7-8 innings every night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
