James Parker...


Feb 28, 2020, 8:42 AM

Just heard on WCCP that he'll be back for the series this weekend. Can sure use his bat.

Good news.

Hope he's ready to make a difference.

3 runs a game won’t get the job done. The hell with a pretty swing plane......just hit it hard somewhere!!!!

WITH THE LACK OF POWER MONTE GOT AWAY FROM THE LAUNCH ANGLE STUFF THIS YEAR. WE ARE ACTUALLY HITTING IT DECENT JUST NOT FALLING IN PLUS WE NEED TO STRING HITS TOGETHER MORE THIS YEAR.

I'm not sure he has gotten away from the "launch angle stuff".

Every batted ball has a launch angle.

I think the difference this season is that he has altered the numbers he is using as the preferred launch angle.

In the last couple of years he wanted guys to elevate the ball and now he wants it off of the ground but more in the line drive trajectory.

I've been told that he explained at a coaching clinic that he wants power guys to aim for the batter's eye for their desired launch angle and he wants smaller guys to aim through the pitcher's head for their desired launch angle.

They still closely monitor launch angle, exit velocity, and all of the other data along with the traditional statistics and metrics to help them determine who is swinging the best and needs to be in the lineup.

Monte may have gotten away from the launch angle stuff, but some of the players are reverting to last year's model.

The Tinker Bell magic doesn't work out well when you run teoward the hall.

It will if they only get 2 runs a game ;)

I think he’s going to end up as the everyday shortstop and Hawkins will play third. Hall will play second (maybe not for long unless he starts producing. He has really regressed) and the freshman Brewer at first.

I LIKE GALLO AT SHORT AND PARKER AT 3RD

Brewer needs to be more aggressive at the plate. Hopefully that starts sooner rather than later. Tonight I think monte puts Hall back in the lineup. Sharpe has to DH. We just have to have his bat. Tonight I like
RF Henderson
LF Meredith
3B Parker
DH Sharpe
C Hack
1B Brewer. Maybe Fairey????
SS/2B Hall
CF Teo
2B/SS Gallo

F**k no to Fairey at 1st

Re: James Parker...


Feb 29, 2020, 9:50 AM

Hawkins at 1st definitely helps us field the best 9 bats right now. Great move by coach

The more I think about it, I wouldn’t want Gallo out there in this moment. Probably go with Hawkins at 3rd and move Parker to 2nd

Just depends how well he can move. Wouldn't want another injury.
