Jerksticks Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 And especially in the 1st inning before you've gauged tha pitcher. Your only job the first AB is to see everything the pitcher has. Now his 2nd AB has to be wasted doing that. That's amateur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 17, 2015 -> 01:16 AM) Should have let Danks get that No chance, placed perfectly. Danks is naturally slow off the mound to the right side due to where he ends up on his pitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 QUOTE (Jerksticks @ May 16, 2015 -> 08:16 PM) While I think he's going to end up being a good hitter for us, I can't for the life of me wrap my head around why he doesn't take AT LEAST 2 pitches before he swings. Why isn't that being demanded? How does a 1 pitch AB help the ball-club I have no stats to back it up but I feel like he swings at the first pitch an awful lot and doesn't have a lot of success with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just counting down the starts until his contract is expired. Sadly, that extension has really killed the franchise the past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
