If you're talking about beginners or LL kids, then that is a great teaching tool. Once you can swing a proper bat, 3-0 is when you look for the pitch in your happy zone and tee off on it, but if it's not there, so be it.
C'mon, now. Don't you just know/feel we're going to come back. This team is starting to pick up momentum. Games like this against teams like Cincy ...no problem.
Springer was hitting 1.000 on 3-0 pitches up to that point. Of course, he only had one hit lol. Either way, I'm good with swinging at it. You're never more "locked in" than you are on 3-0.
So, you'd rather have the pitcher be one strike away from an out... Vs getting 2 (or 3) chances to swing at hittable pitches? (Presuming foul balls). The object for any batter who swings is to swing at strikes. Maximizing the number of strikes you can see is paramount.
looks like someone finally told correa to swing at that first pitch down the middle. huge homer. bullpen favors us
