I hope someone educates me and relieves me of this frustration of the hitter just standing there a watching a floater float by.
It depends on the situation of course. 1 out, 2 outs, men on base, none in base, score, etc.
But if you are 3-0 as a hitter, the pitcher is likely having trouble locating his pitches or he is nervous with a big hitter etc. So you’re putting more pressure on him to pitch a strike. Then even more pressure on him to pitch another and possibly another when he couldn’t even pitch one in the first three pitches.

I have never understood the rationale of not swinging on 3-0. What is the likelihood and % that the pitcher throws a strike on the next pitch? Upwards of 80% I suspect. So, if it’s a strike anyway, why not at least take a shot at what will be a hittable pitch?
First of all just because a pitch is a strike doesn’t automatically mean you get a hit. But if it is a strike and you don’t swing, the count is still massively in the hitter’s favor at 3-1. Anytime you can make the pitcher throw more pitches, see more of his pitches it’s better

You know ZERO about baseball and situational awareness.

If anyone on this year’s team has earned the green light, it’s Tommy Tanks!

Tommy White should never have the bat taken out of his hands. Of course, in the late innings of a one-run game, he could be more selective.

Man, you must have the baseball IQ of a pineapple to think that was a good idea.

You never swing on a 3-0 count in late innings down a run. Never ever ever ever. Anyone saying it was ok doesn't know baseball. Now his coach might cover for him publicly but there is no way Johnson thought that was a good idea.
Plus the pitch was a ball up high. 2 mistakes, swinging and at a ball.
