Abreu night at The Bank!

I remember Bobby Abreu going to the Angels and literally working with hitters and preaching to them to work every count and take their walks. Quite a few hitters numbers jumped up if I remember correctly. No lie, I would take him right now in this org as a hitting instructor in some capacity.

Most other teams work the count far better than what we have seen. You have to see the pitches and study the pitchers.

Idk how the Sox hitters can be so impatient year after year. It is almost like the org doesn't give a fuck about walking and making the opposing pitcher work for his outs. That's not even SABR stuff that's baseball 101 shit.

Hawk really rubbed off on him in that regard..

I think it just comes from his playing days as a pitcher. It is a bad stat, but it is the number one thing a pitcher cares about, especially in that era. Hell, he won a Cy Young in large part thanks to a huge win total.
