Yes they do

he still can't hit the curve consistently

i have a legit baseball question
if a batter wants to, how hard is it to get a ball in the air? not necessarily a sac fly, but at least a pop up?
http://inplaynoouts.blogspot.com/ - A blog about teams I like, written by me.
surely the batters have some control over their swing...
http://inplaynoouts.blogspot.com/ - A blog about teams I like, written by me.
by Carl Johnson on Aug 15, 2008 6:25 PM PDT up reply actions
Upper-cut the swing
keep your bat down in the zone, and always tend towards swinging under it rather than trying to get on it.
by Caseys Kiss of Death on Aug 15, 2008 6:24 PM PDT up reply actions
yeah, but like, how hard is that to actively do?

It depends.
Napoli does it naturally. Guys like Kendrick probably have to concentrate.
~Till the Halo burns out...
i just feel like with less than 2 out and a runner at third, why not try more for a strikeout/flyout swing than a standard one?

With a guy like Mathis, you really have enough problems making contact as it is.
PH Napoli might have been a better move, though part of Jeff’s problem was that he hit it hard.

Everytime this year that I've seen Speier implode
I couldn’t help but recall Rev’s thread title for when we signed him: “Just-Inspiried.”
Thank God I can finally associate that with something good again.
