BP and Harang are the only ones not to draw a walk today......I'm beginning to think it might not ever happen. I can live with if he keeps hitting .350, but that's obviously not going to happen. He needs to learn how to take a walk to maximize his potential IMO.
We'll see when the other teams stop throwing him meatballs, if he swings at garnage then we have a problem
Go Gators!
Kearns had only 1 in his first 50 ABs
OK, never mind. Swing away kid, swing away. He's got to be player of the week this week I'd think.Originally Posted by cyoung
He's now at 17 RBI for the week.

Does he need to right now?

with guys always on and with Larue/Ross/pitcher behind him I would rather have a decision with his bat as long he isn't swinging at pitches he can't hit. And he really hasn't been chasing high fastball or breaking balls in the dirt.
"He's now at 17 RBI for the week."
Actually he's at four...today is Sunday
Here's to another record-breaking season from Adam Dunn...another 40 homeruns (all coming with nothing on the line) and 200 Ks! We Want King Jay!!
If he keeps hitting, I odn't care.
Sucks cause he's not listed in yahoo fantasy baseball.
yes he is, click on RBI and he'll jump right out in your face
I found him,thanks ice.
Another thing I like about him (and a reason he may not walk much) is the fact that dude absolutely CROWDS the plate when he hits. This gives him a lot more plate coverage to be able to effectively hit some pitches that may be a bit out of the zone. Conversely he has the bat speed to get around on some inside heat.
Benzinger backing and calling! And the 1990 world championship series belongs to the Cincinnati Reds!
Is this thread serious? We should ride this hot streak out and enjoy it from him. Why worry????
Why on earth would he try to take a walk right now? He's as hot right now as anyone on the planet.

Plate discipline is somewhat of a "knock" on Phillips. But he's young.
