shysocks Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 QUOTE (fathom @ May 14, 2016 -> 02:14 PM) Whole game has been a bunch of at bats without much of a game plan. Can't really blame them against the relievers, but the approach vs Nova was bad. Yeah, way too many harmless grounders off Nova. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScootsMcGoots Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 QUOTE (SonofaRoache @ May 14, 2016 -> 02:15 PM) Jackson and Abreu would have reached base had they just not swung. That slider is nasty but it's not a strike. Most nasty sliders aren't strikes, and on purpose. Hitters swing and miss at them. Easier to say they should just have laid off. Hard to actually do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sir Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 14, 2016 -> 12:09 PM) I don't know what game you are watching or even games. Avi has been doing a good job this season and in this game our hitters are being overmatched by tough pitchers absolutely ridiculous to start hating on a player. Just now Yanks relief pitching struck out 5 Sox hitters in a row. Â He had a nice 11 game stretch this season. Before that, he was garbage. In the limited time since that stretch, he's looked like the garbage of old. Â I'm just fed up by the idea that he will keep getting more and more chances because he goes through hot streaks. I really don't want these streaks to jeopardize our search for a legitimate bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier to say they should just have laid off. Hard to actually do it   Its not hard at all. Go to the plate and take pitch one. If it is a ball take pitch two as well. If that is a ball you have him cornered. If pitch two is a strike you only swing at pitch 3 if it is a fastball. I agree with what Hawk said completely. You have to have a plan going against a junk ball thrower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Jacksons strike out It was clear that pitch is a ball. Jose should have taken the first few pitches to test the waters. No rule that says you must swing.
