Don’t mind him swinging but be sure it’s what you want to swing at. Off speed ain’t it.

Since I’m not paid to, no, but he should be ashamed of his play as a leader the last 3-4 games.

Had he taken the same swing same pitch but the ball went 18” further in the hole, you wouldn’t start this thread.

It’s who he is. He has tremendous success doing it.

Just stop.

Baseball 101. When you get the starter out and a new reliever comes in, scored tied, with runners on base, you make him throw strikes in that pressure situation. You don’t swing on the first pitch.

100% what he is doing is selfish and not team ball.

Old coach used to call it the “500 Pitch”- if you swing at it you better be certain you can it 500 feet

Swinging at the first pitch gave up three runs. Stupid.

For most, yes.

Tommy is not most players.

I’m not saying I love him swinging at a first pitch breaking ball, but he has earned the right to swing at whatever pitch he wants.

By your rule, he doesn’t swing on the ball he sent 430’ against wake forest in extra innings last season. Which, incidentally put us in the CWS finals.

We’re on the same wavelength. Tommy white swinging at the first pitch will be remembered 50 years from now.

Everyone agrees with you..

Opposing pitchers do not.

Nice to see him patient and not swinging first pitch.
Then he had a hit which eventually leads to a run.
