Yeah Beloso has done that before an it annoyed me so much. I’m not watching this game atm so I don’t know the count.
I would always want my team to take the next two pitches if it’s a 3-0 count.

And how many Cade Belosos do you have on your team?

I’ve ask some, some disagree with me but some agree. Opinions very on the subject.

Even if he did have the green, it doesn't mean he swings. You find something that you can drive. He swung at shite pitch and missed. The pitcher was in trouble, you don't help him out in that situation.

I really have to say I'm surprised at how many people on this board truly don't know shite. If swinging at a 3-0 pitch is such a good idea, if you like it, why was the coach pissed? Did he miss the TAKE sign or do these posters have a point?
Posted on 5/22/19 at 12:24 am to BigSmooth2
In Beloso's defense he not a very smart batter.

What's so hard for you to understand? If you get your pitch in your spot hit it. You may not get a better one. Not every batter gets a green light, but if the coach trusts you and/or you have legit power let em swing.

I think the 3–0 green light is underrated. The pitcher “knows” the batter isn’t swinging ...so he just grooves a meatball down the middle. Then on the 3-1 count he “knows” he’ll be swinging at anything close...so he can use that to his advantage. The best or “easiest” pitch to hit is on the 3-0 pitch by far.

Wrong...his job is to get on base by any means necessary and on a 3-0 pitch you play the fricking percentages and don’t swing...if the pitcher throws a strike then the next pitch its game on...

Looked like he missed a signal, but yeah, pretty inexcusable.
Missed a signal? I never played baseball and don’t claim to know it, but even I know in that situation you put the bat on the shoulder until he throws a strike

SC changes their pitcher and he throws 3 straight balls... and beloso freaking pops one to the infield. Unacceptable.
You must be new to watching CPM's Team. Every year he let's a batter or two in the lineup swing at 3-0. At times I recall these getting the same greenlight: Rhymes, Bregman, Kramer. It's because he's hot as frick right now and it's what CPM does because 3-0 is almost always a meatball for an easy hit.
Let me know if Reid ever swings at a 3-0.

They can't understand that strategies change with different players and different levels of the game
They were always told 3-0 is a no go from 10yrs old, and don't see the difference
A walk or out after 3-0 is much more likely than a hit with an avg little league hitter against an avg little league pitcher. That is the correct call
A really good D1 or MLB hitter can swing 3-0 if he gets the pitch he's looking for and the manager trusts him enough to allow

His job is to get on base. The situation should dictate the approach. You dumb.

Beloso is in the lineup for extra base hits so I don't mind the 3-0 green light
Exactly. Had it been Reid, Broussard or Hughes you take. Beloso, Watson, Cabrera, Garza or Smith? Green light.

I just messaged Bregman, Trout, Harper, Judge, et al. Told them the rant said it's their job to swing at a 3-0 pitch from a struggling pitcher.

Try again douchebag. Your shite is just a opinion like mine. If I’ve got a hitable pitch an I’ve got the green light, I’m mashing. Narrow sited bunch of couch coaches.
That's you being about you. If you know anything about baseball, you gotta take that pitch. The pitcher is in the same spot for the next pitch. 3-0 and 3-1 are both hitters' pitches.

In fact the ball was high and a ball 4. That's why he hit under it and popped it up. He was playing hero ball, not smart team ball.

Taking a 3-0 pitch is conventional wisdom and one of those "cardinal rules" of baseball. The game has changed. It's perfecty acceptable to trust a good hitter to swing on 3-0 if it is a fastball and it is in the hitter's preferred location. It's usually the best pitch a hitter is going to get.
