Looks like Josh Hamilton using/chewing tobacco again

[HBMike]

Yep...

 

Plus someone also called in to Travis Rodgers today and said it looked like to them that Hamilton had some chew in his mouth vs the Tigers. Travis didn't know.

 

I hope it works.

 

[Stradling]

I'm guessing it is helping him deal with the stress of not performing up to expectations.

I saw it too, then he spit out shells... They were seeds.

[Glen]

I think it was Troy Percival you saw spitting out shells.

Which reminds me...would Percy make a good coach?

[CaliAngel]

 ...if so, I hope it works. 

 

What? How would it work?

 

The guy can dip as much as he wants, but if he keeps whiffing at junk and fouling off matza balls his batting average is gonna stay below .250

It's cause he quit last year around the same time that led to his really bad second half of the season. Google it to read some of his quotes.

im all for him smoking in the dugout if it helps him hit better..........

Hell, if it was to help him be 2012 first half Hamilton, throws booze and broads in the dugout.

 

OK, no booze, but broads for sure. 

[LBHalos17]

If slipping back into dipping is his worst vice now, he's staying ahead of his demons.  Short of jointing him in prayer, I hope he finds his groove soon.  If he turns it around, this team just might wake-up together.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

If he needs an addiction to feed in order to hit, that is better than some of the others he has had.

Hamilton's last 5 games:  .438/.474/.500

 

There's light at the end of the tunnel.

[nate]

Never mind, definitely looks like he is chewing tobacco again.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

Yeah, he just spit the black crap out during his ab.  

[AngelsLongBall]

Dip, baby, dip

[Halos of Anaheim]

Tobacco actually reduces stress. Maybe that works for him.

[TEvans]

This is right before his double in Saturdays game.

That could be sunflower seeds, right?

[Mile High Dreams]

Does it matter? He could go back to doing lines off chicks breasts...if he produces and it ain't hurting anyone else...who cares!

I don't think anybody is making value judgments.

 

I'm just interested in whether or not he decided to use tobacco again and then it resulted in his being able to produce on the field.

Gun to my head I'm saying he's chewing again. Whatever he's doing, he looks like his old self in the OF (reckless and all over the place) and looks a lot better in the box than he has in a while!

[2002_halos_II]

If it works for him, great.

[Pbonetheman]

Next step: get the man some energy drinks

[SDHalofan]

He is and its awesome!

[Halo4life714]

Man hopefully this translates to him mashing. By the looks of it these past games it does! Josh, Dip away bro!
