    If only we could get 1B/DH to do that.

    Nothing like taking 2 strikes and swinging on one way outside.

    Or he's not swinging at hanging breaking balls right down the middle.

    Ya he really has no clue what he's doing... No real approach just wildly guessing.

    Like Buck said... This is slow-pitch softball.

    2B has been pretty solid in my life time minus an anal fissure.

    "Don't think... Just swing at strikes." (Paraphrased from Crash Davis... Who's original advice was about pitching, but I think it would be applicable here).

    The good thing about K is that third time around is where he pitches better, OPS is lowest. Now, fourth time, he struggles big time.

    I was thinking the same. And thinking, they should approach it that way. Tell everyone to go for singles / liners instead of trying to hit the hangers out of the park. Because, unlike slow-pitch softball...this game goes back to fast-pitch very soon. So you can't sit around assuming you'll eventually hit a slow pitch out of the park

    If we had drafted Trout, some of these people would have been ready to trade him in 2011.
