all-star break

[calfan810]

i see the all-star break hasnt helped with their patience at the plate samardzjia had 35 pitches thru 3 innings...i have zero idea why lately markakis goes up there and swings at the first pitch of the game...more times than not it's hit weakly on the ground to short or lazy fly to left field...THATS NOT WHAT UR SUPPOSED TO DO AS A LEADOFF HITTER
