Depends. When trying to work a pitch count up against Root they won't swing at the first pitch as much. Tonight they probably will be trying to jump on early fastballs as pitch count doesn't really matter

Jones needs to stop all the movement at the plate the bending backwards drifting back with the bat then slowly tilting up then slowly getting into position - it's bad enough we have several players who choke up several inches on a bat on the first pitch so you know they're not a threat.


The most dangerous hiitter at crunch time is the good hitter who isin a slump. You know he is overdue and will bust out with a vengeance.

They take the first pitch for several reasons…. 1 is to make the pitcher throw, and just to see arm slot, speed that kind of thing.
