What is Valbuena looking for? When you're not a good hitter, still doesn't excuse you from not having a game plan for the AB, especially when you're ahead of the count.
Only if our offense can score a few runs early, so our pitchers don't need to be so perfect ever pitch.
And... This how you let good pitchers settle into a groove. They have one bad inning, horrible start to an inning in fact, and you let him off the hook. Pathetic. Hope I'm wrong but wouldn't be surprised to see him get in a groove now.
This team needs to make a move. Not enough contact on this team. That was three awful AB's with the bases loaded.
4-9 today are all high K%, low contact hitters. That is unacceptable and is both on the GM for roster construction and the manager for putting this sort of lineup together.
It's worth noting what Brown just said.. LH batters hitting .109 (now lower) against Salazar. Not to say 3 K's in a row is reasonable. But he does crush them against everyone..
