Certainly, he's making some bad decisions at the plate lately, but a less aggressive first-pitch approach would probably just lead to him starting more at-bats a strike in the hole.<BR/><BR/>I think Counsell deserves his own "offender" number. Not that he underperformed per his ability, but his relative ineptitude (compared to Branyan) is a seperate issue from Hall's suckitude.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413451422114161954.post-85960392219779260522008-10-03T10:46:00.000-05:002008-10-03T10:46:00.000-05:00I agree, I'm just not convinced that he can fix th...I agree, I'm just not convinced that he can fix them is all.E.S.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02755352124021777813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413451422114161954.post-58401846477437332672008-10-03T10:41:00.000-05:002008-10-03T10:41:00.000-05:00Maybe he is a dumbass, but it's still better to ha...Maybe he is a dumbass, but it's still better to have fixable problems than permanent problems, even if you are unwilling to fix them for now.PaulNoonanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01600099270280639424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413451422114161954.post-65259999096233960382008-10-03T10:37:00.000-05:002008-10-03T10:37:00.000-05:00Check out the GDP. 17 double plays this year after...<I>Check out the GDP. 17 double plays this year after ground ingto 13 total the last two years combined.</I><BR/><BR/>That's what makes me so pessimistic on him.

I suspect that pitchers across the board are exploiting a hole in his swing in the lower half of the strike zone. As a reult he's striking out more and not getting anything to drive. Check out the GDP. 17 double plays this year after ground ingto 13 total the last two years combined.<BR/><BR/>He's probably fixable. He just needs to lay off low pitches and force pitchers to come up. <BR/><BR/>Prince has a similar problem with inside pitches.PaulNoonanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01600099270280639424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413451422114161954.post-75509792545250427492008-10-03T10:23:00.000-05:002008-10-03T10:23:00.000-05:00Oh sweet, I didn't know that.That shit is discoura...Oh sweet, I didn't know that.<BR/><BR/>That shit is discouraging.
