There are entirely too many 1 and 2 pitch outs lately. I have no concerns over the pitching.

Good analysis in your post but I see this as a very fine line CJJ is having to deal with.

Imo, after watching every single game, I think our batters are better when they are attacking early in the counts. Similar to what Miss State did to us two weekends ago. I like it better when our guys are swinging away.

But, nobody likes first pitch outs that come as a result of being in an attack mindset. A few weeks back CJJ voiced his displeasure with so many first pitch outs and you could see the players trying to take more pitches. But the results didn't get any better.

I say let dudes attack the baseball whenever they get a decent pitch and see if they can break out of their slump.
