Elly's was indeed a shot, but he did get under it a bit and much of the momentum was going up. It was more of a high fly/dying on the way down.
Oneil's was more of a line shot that still had momentum as it was coming down. That's his style of hitting. He's like a taller, thinner version of Leon Durham or Dmitri Young. Lots of line drives WHEN he makes contact.
Anyway, I don't really care about distance or exit velocity. All I care about with Elly is his current stretch of hitting fair balls and less strikeouts. THAT is something that I like to see.
I also liked watching him struggle with his English in the post-game interview because it showed me that he has no fear. I'm not sure how many of you have tried speaking a 2nd language in a foreign country, but it takes a lot of guts. I still wouldn't mind seeing him sent down for a week or 10 days if he reverts back to a week or two ago, but he has the right mentality to break through a rough stretch.
