2006 Bonds not hitting as well as 2005 Bonds


Never seen so many swings and misses or just bad swings

His swing is even worse than he looked when he was hurt at the end of last year

Hope that thing about the leg brace being a problem is true

He needs to get untracked soon....

Hamels started toward the dugout after what he thought was a strike. Lincecum didn't get the call & buzzed ump Dana DeMuth w. a fastball that slammed off the backstop & then froze Hamels w. another 3rd strike. 4/28/10 Timmy the ump killer.

GOOD GOD.. HE IS NOT THE SAME... NOT EVEN AS GOOD AS HE WAS IN LATE 2005....

Just looked again

Strike 2 was called off the plate away
Strike 3 was set up away, but was down the heart of the plate at the belt at 94 MPH

I was amazed he didnt crush that ball

It doesnt look good.... his age and injuries look to have made him mortal...
I think the elbow is hurting more than the knee
