Its like watching the Cubbies hitters trying to hit the ball 500 feet on every pitch. Need to hunker down and take some more pitches. The ump has squeezed the strike zone and its not like Saunders has been impressive with location.
Looks like the Crew bought a cheap insurance policy for the OF. Car-Go is the guy until he shows otherwise, but Morgan should see a lot of PT filling in for guys on off days and get PH and PR opportunities in games.
I am way too skeptical of this "new approach" so far Gomez has not walked in ST. I mean his biggest problem was offering at bad pitches and he hasn't drawn a walk. I hope Go Go has finally figured it out, but I doubt it.
The biggest issue I see if this trade is true. Is the hole at SS. Its not the stick, but Escobar's defensive range that helped out. I just hope that we don't lose too much defensively to let Greinke, Yo, Wolf, and Marcum down.
I thought Torres did a good job of getting touches where he could feed the ball into space for the forwards. Granted Torres leaves a lot to be desired on the defensive end. I wonder if Bradley is going to change from a 4-4-2 scheme to more of a 4-3-3 or 4-3-2-1 scheme for Wednesday's game. Seemed like having more guys active up top actually trapped a lot of passed toward midfield.
I think it has more to do with players being conservative in the WC. I think the level of MLS is so low that they are trying to get noticed with aggressive play for some other club to want them. So you get a lot of guys that are all out, consequences be damned mentality. Probably why I find Brazil fun to watch.
Yes. The MLS games I have watched have been very up and down games. Too many of these games have been played in midfield. I like games where a team will put 20-25 shots up and the goaltender will have to make 5-10 great stops to keep their team in it. There have been WC games this year where a team will muster 2 shots on goal and the other team will have 0 on goal.
Where is the scoring this year? Everybody is playing such defensive schemes that it is bogging down the play. Sadly, MLS games have been more entertaining and the World Cup is supposed to be the top futbol athletes from the world
