Sorry for cutting you down. I should not have done that. Because you must have been watching another ball game. You say that they had routine fly balls. Yes, they had one to shallow right field that 2nd base should had caught. The fly ball to left, the left fielder had to come a mile! If you had been at the other three games you would have to say that the bats have came around. Plus I do not know how you can say that everybody's batting stance should look a certain way. "EVERBODY BATS DIFFERENT"


"GO CATS":Thumbs:

You didn't cut me down. I once again was just stating what I saw. I didn't mean to ruffle so many feathers, but I seem to be pretty good at it.

You're correct on the fly balls, but I won't back down on how bad the batting stances were despite the fact that everybody bats different. There were players up there wobbling bats like they're Ken Griffey. What's the problem with this? The fact that it reduces stability and cuts down on the reaction time that a player has from the time the ball leaves the pitchers hand to the time they have to hit it. Go watch an SEC baseball game, and tell me how many players you see wobbling the bat. Zero. It creates way too much instability.

Not to mention the fact that I saw back elbows as high as the sky which causes players to to adjust to come down to the ball, which in turn causes an upper cut swing. Which is exactly what happened when the bases were loaded with nobody out, and two infield fly balls occurred. Anybody with a decent knowledge of hitting knows that.

Also with the batting stances there were some players who had their feet so close together that it created a huge step when the ball left the pitchers hand. Not a problem if the pitcher throws the some pitch every time, but when you have that huge lunge when the ball leaves the pitchers' hand it creates a problem of balance, especially on off speed pitches.

I know baseball despite the fact that I wasn't the best at it, and the batting stances and techniques were questionable at best.

I apologize for coming off rude or whatever, but I was simply stating what I saw, and will do so at any game I watch. Once again, good luck this season.
