Wieters Offense: Code Red?

[Flacco Machado]

Conditioning. Conditioning. Conditioning. MW is very indicative of this organization from top to bottom. Just not enough strength, not enough bat speed, not enough fire.

I agree 100%.

It would also seem that he did better as a lefty in 09'.

It has got to be mechanics

[Can_of_corn]

I wouldn't call 169 games a campaign.

On another note, if any one has some minor league footage of him swinging it would be helpful.

His lefty and righty swings appear much different.

At least for this year his avg. appears about 30 points higher as a righty.

His lefty swing from Sept. of '09 appears to have some different mechanics than it does now.

All of which should be an easy fix,,, just not sure how the hitting coach hasn't noticed or he himself hasn't noticed.

One season is a "campaign" I think maybe you don't know what the word means

campaign

[kam-peyn]  

noun

1.

Military .

a.

military operations for a specific objective.

b.

Obsolete . the military operations of an army in the field for one season.

The exact, specific, definition of a campaign in a baseball sense is a single season.

So you think the '09 sample size of Wieters' batting Lefty/Righty is somehow large enough to draw conclusions from? He wouldn't be the first hitter to show variance in which side is dominant batting.

[gamer]

Well when most players spend multiple seasons in the minors, no I don't consider "one season" to be a campaign,,,

[gamer]

And the point I was making with his Righty/lefty comparison was it supports the fact that his mechanics are far worse as a lefty,,, so what now dip**** get on my level

[Pedro Cerrano]

Who cares what a campaign is? The only thing that matters is that he sucks at hitting and is a big reason why we continue to blow as a franchise.

Like I said you evidently don't know what the word means. I tried showing you the definition, sorry it didn't help.

That was one of the unrealistic trade rumors thrown around on this board, sure. It was never anything that was actually discussed by the teams, nor would the Royals have made that trade.

Wrong...AM requested Gordon or Butler for Pie.

[Pedro Cerrano]

Wrong...AM requested Gordon or Butler for Pie.

LMAO what a buffoon. Does he need to commit highway robbery to consummate a deal? Maybe this is the reason we never get any deals done.

[PaulFolk]

Wrong...AM requested Gordon or Butler for Pie.

OK, but the key point still stands: the Royals weren't going to make that trade.

Morrow just fanned him. Swung at two pitches in his eye and then whiffed on strike 3.

So so bad.

[gamer]

You gave me defenitions from a military perspective, none of which has anything to do with baseball. Like I said I don't consider one season to be a campaign when most players will spend multiple seasons in the minors. I guess by your logic that means they spend multiple campaigns in the minors?

Adrian Gonzalez- Spent close to 450 games in the minors until he made his debut

Robinso Cano- Spent about 484 games in the minors until his debut

Now those might not be exactly correct, mental math has never been my strong suit, but I simply refuse to find it logical to be able to predict a players entire carreer by looking at a 169 game "campaign"

Jesus why do you care so much about this? In general baseball parlance, a "campaign" is akin to a single numerical season. So Wieters had a great "campaign in 2008" and has had a terrible "2011 campaign."

Some people have to win the internet I guess.

We get it! You think Matt is the worst hitter in the bigs.

Not trying to defend his larger body of work, but Morrow made Reynolds look silly too. Hard to use whiffing against him as representative of anything.
