Boy i wasn't really going to watch too much baseball, but White Sox got off to a good start to catch my attention.  I've always rooted for them since before the won the world series but I haven't payed too much attention.  I might start watching again.

OK, that didn't last long.  On the plus side, we are seeing some signs of an offense this year and Pineda looked really good in his debut last night, even if he did take the loss.  Give the kid a year under his belt and let's see the rotation next year with King Felix and Pineda at 1 & 2.  I'm at least encouraged that this year won't be another total embarrassment and the team does look to be headed in the right direction.

Nice to see Hamels be lights-out in his second start, especially after his first start against the Mets. I have to say though, it kind of makes me sick that the fans pretty much booed him off the field after that start.

Rangers started off hot, though the recent injury to Josh Hamilton has me a little worried...6-8 weeks on the DL?! David Murphy is going to need to pull through and I think he is capable of doing so.

What the hell is going on with Carl Crawford and the Red Sox? They were making a joke on ESPN earlier saying, "Crawford use to destroy the Red Sox when he was with the Rays and now he is destroying the Red Sox internally." haha

Their pitching staff is in shambles right now and none of them are hitting worth a piece of c***. That said I am actually a Ranger fan.  Go Rangers!  Even though I live in the northeast and get stuck watching the darn Yankees and the darn Redsox because those are the regional games on.

Haha I hear ya. I live in the Austin area and all they televise are the stinkin Astros. These noon games against Detroit are the only ones i've got to watch besides the home opener.

The Pirates were .500 for about a day, that was fun. If only I were interested in the local team that's capable of winning.

I literally busted out laughing when I saw my boy Tony Watson's at-bat against Roy Holliday last night. I watched him all through college from the third row at Nebraska and his step mom was my high school principal, but man he got embarrassed in that AB.  I'm an Angels fan, but I love seeing former Huskers do well.  Gordon is having a great year for the Royals, Watson has been great, and Duensing has been pretty solid for the Twins.  But when it comes down to it, go Halos!

Gotta love Carlos Guillen haha. He's usually pretty classy I would have never expected him to show up Jered Weaver like that. Weaver deserved it though he's a dirty little bastard.

Career Bests:

9 Holes--37 @ The Fairways at Arrowhead-Front(+2)

18 Holes--80 @ Carroll Meadows Golf Course(+9)

 

Home Course:

1) The Fairways at Arrowhead

2) Mayfair Country Club

I don't think Weaver is really dirty... Guillen is pretty classless with what he did; if I was Weaver, I'd have waited until Guillen came back to the plate to make my point as Avila had nothing to do with the situation.

      Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner.

      Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
