He's obviously not telling them anything. After the Zavala at bat, he should have been telling them to be patient and wait for a pitch. Because he's not throwing strikes. And they just went up there chopping.
Situational hitting is so fucking terrible. It's amazing Menenchino still has a fucking job. Just stealing a paycheck.
He threw two strikes to those three hitters, and they all went down swinging.
The two prior to that were no doubter strikes. After taking two strikes in a row, you can't fucking sit there and watch the next pitch, especially when it's that close.
All three of those pitches were hittable.
