Legit question as I’m no baseball expert. Why do we take every first pitch? It’s always a fastball for a strike and we start every at bat 0-1.



Part of it is our strategy is to work starting pitchers and most pitchers deep in to counts to run their pitch counts up so we can get to the their bullpen.


And this is part of my frustration with our approach at times. You have to switch it up occasionally especially when you have pitchers that throw a lot of strikes. With strike throwers we should jump on first pitches but we don't..

This would do 2 things. Teams wouldn't just throw 1st pitches over without a worry in the world and it would give our hitters better pitches to hit.

Every team knows we are taking till we get a strike and we rarely adjust.

But great question.

Hopefully Moore is back soon and we can go back to regular rotation.

It never fails. Every year there are multiple games where people complain that we swing at too many first pitches and others will complain that we take too many.


Did you even read it? I was asking a serious question to who I thought people who might know the reason, I wasn’t complaining. Just wondering if there was some sort of strategy.

We have to win all our midweek games at this point. I suspect Sundays and midweeks will be whole-staff pitch count games until Moore is back on the mound as a starter.

Alec Rock just came all over himself. He’s been calling a Simpson home run for 3 weeks now

Would love if Simpson hit like 15 HR over the next 2 months.
