Well, in SAME situation, Marisnick swung at ball 4. Yesterday, it happened TWICE, we swung at ball 4. Singleton, it was a close pitch, but it was a ball.
Yeah, it doesn't look good. He's got that Robbie Grossman "god I hope i can draw a walk, because I can't hit it " look to him. He hasn't had many good swings.
Not arguing with the result... but that was not one of his "good" AB's. He had no idea what to do with a pitch that was close enough to swing... but he had inexplicably already made up his mind not to. He needs to go on a run to get his confidence up. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Looks like Tucker played a lot of first base in HS and college... call up Santana and put him back there for now.
