Can someone who knows more about baseball explain Long’s bat placement in his stance? Is there a reason he holds it like that?
Hines should look the opposite field on every swing, but he doesn?t. Same with Dakota, but they seem to come inside on Dakota way more.
Half our batters are automatic outs, or at least it appears that way.
Their 3B is almost on top of 2B. If we could teach Hines how to bunt he would be bunting doubles.Quote:

The way you hold your bat is irrelevant. All that matters is your position at launch.Quote:

And one of the other four would tell them to eat a dick and get out of their face. Team meetings rarely accomplish anythingQuote:

Disagree. The only thing that matters is getting the barrel to the ball, but if your body has to hitch to get it there you have less time to decide what to do.Quote:

I agree but a meeting wont change a damn thing. Until they change their approach? Things will stay the sameQuote:
