GDT : Cards vs. Cubs (8/10) ~ 6:10pm CDT

question for whoever has an idea about batting stances. I keep thinking that Walker would do better with a more crouched stance.
I looked at videos of Dave Winfield, same height as Walker. Winfield's stance was quite crouched down. same for Pujols and Rosen, both big guys. all of them top hitters.
Walker just seems to stand up too straight, a tiny bit less recently, but still nothing like those other hitters. seems like he could get to the outside pitch better with a less upright stance. maybe get under the pitch more easily. maybe drive forward into the ball better.

thoughts?

Look at Pujols. He held the bat high just like Walker but he was bent at the knees. It's too difficult for a 6'6" guy to get low or outside pitches standing straight up like he does.

And... There's a reason that most of the best hitters do NOT have a wide open stance.

Winfield has a normal stance but his load was like a golf swing crouch. I don't see anyone else doing that

Saggese and Pages

woohoo

[blackinkbiz]

Is there anyone, and I mean ANYONE, who likes these in-the-field-during-game interviews?

I literally can't watch them. I turn the game off, although I do that a lot these days regardless. lol

[dugoutrex]

Gray scared of Carson freaking Kelly...........

When did Carson Kelly become Johnny Bench?

Rumor is he started taking those Flintstone vitamins that Corky Sosa used to gobble up........

yup - just like Big Mac

I muted the TV in the top of the first when Saggese's name was mispronounced.

I hate em but that's what ESPN does. And the pitch predictor and that garbage on the right side of the screen. I'd rather watch Bradley call the game!!

PCA is pretty darn cool!
