Excellent take. I was surprised to learn how the pitchers are making mistakes with Murakami. On the other hand, I think he deserves a lot of credit too. For being ready for those mistakes and punishing them. After all, human beings (pitchers) will make mistakes, it's unavoidable. His was the best signing of a free agent this off season, and by the White Sox of all people.
I don't think there was ever any doubt he could hit a lot of home runs! Today he hit his 15th. And he already has a double! I love the fact that he reached 14 home runs without hitting an extra-base hit. When I wrote this piece, he had 12. Last week, on the 4th, after reaching 14 home runs, he hit his first and so far only double. The White Sox have a lot of calculations to make very soon regarding his future.
