Re: AARON HILL-2B (Blue Jays)

OK folks, we will put this insanity over Aaron Hill's stance to rest right here...

I JUST watched three of his AB's from this past Sunday's game against Detroit.

The camera angle towards home plate in centered---NOT off-centered

I went through ALL of the stances in this game. And I'm gonna say this again...SOME of you...and the guilty know who they are...NEED to LOOK through ALL of the stances and deliveries before you post some of this madness...I mean really......

Hill's signature points are:

a) moderately crouched

b) hand/bat positioning is AT/ABOVE helmet height

c) his torso is close to being upright

d) slightly open stance

e) small/quick bat movement; legs really have no movement

The ONLY stances that have most of the above five are:

Delgado, E. Encarnacion and Kemp

With that said, personally, I'm gonna go with Encarnacion's

So.....

FORGET Thome; too upright and not crouched enough

FORGET Gomes; not gonna even go there

FORGET Wright; bat/hand positioning not close, toooo much bat movement, front foot tap is wrong,

nuff said....

its funny that I mentioned Encarnacion for Hill a long time ago and no one seemed too pleased with it. What do you think about Aroldis? Im gonna take a look tonight or tomorrow. I went with Webb for Chris Sale but im not 100% pleased with it. Had Maine in the running as well. You went with Stetter? isn't he stretch only? Sale pitches out of the wind up with no one on. I also went with Lowe for Harrell, mostly cuz of the glove movement/placement when he turns to take the ball out of his glove

Re: BATTING STANCE/PITCHING DELIVERY THREAD

I'm thinking Orlando Hernandez for Chapman just because of the leg kicking into his body and the slight turn to first base...plus there isn't to many other options

Re: BATTING STANCE/PITCHING DELIVERY THREAD

What about Chris Resop?

[Rod_Carew29]

AROLDIS CHAPMAN-SP/RP (Reds)

At first glance, the beginning of his delivery--up to where he takes that backstep, is very reminiscent of the Red Sox' Clay Buchholz--and thats where it all ends...next comes the in-tuck thingy that El Duque is noted for...and then the drop and drive portion of the delivery, with the finish towards 3rd base....

well....

there are none that are correct in total....

I'm using Hughes' delivery...

Rod,

Ummmm HELLO! I've been watching Johnson since his debut with Atlanta....

Yea i did the same...its getting harder and harder to watch this team everyday lol

[Rod_Carew29]

LUCAS DUDA-LF/1B (Mets)

There is NOTHING close to exact unfortunately
and please, David Wright AIN'T cutting it...

it was gen 10, gen 95, M. Cabrera, Rolen, Jose Lopez and Kotsay I took note of as I went through all of them...

I settled on Kotsay, hand positioning aint correct, but the timing of the waggle is...and we have to settle......
