Right Approach

"In that situation [Wickman's] job is to come after me and throw a strike, make me swing the bat," Konerko said. "I'm not trying to hit a home run. I'm just trying to get a base hit and keep the rally going."


Good approach by Konerko. Good things tend to happen when you just try to get a hit instead of a homerun. Although Dye looked like he was trying to kill the first pitch in the 9th.

I think i may see why he wasn't shipped off with the rest of the homer-only guys.... Not that maggs was a homer-only guy ala valentin, but that knee situation was tricky, and he didn't seem to warm up to us during the contract talks.

And, whether believeable or not, dye did say he was just trying to make contact to keep the rally alive.

I believe it on the pitch he hit out, but he was swinging hard at that first pitch.
