We rank near the 12th out of 14 AL teams in BA and OBP.
Our hitters are not patient and swing at bad pitches. If they worked counts more and hit pitches in the strikezone both of these numbers would be higher overall.
Not gonna change any time soon. Our line-up is surrounded by guys who do not take pitches. Crede is almost always 0-2 it seems, uribe, rowand, pierzyski, ozuna. I really want to know why ozuna ever leads off. He takes about three pitches an at-bat... not acceptable.
