Band of Brothers
A Dreamer...trying to find my way home for dinner
One of my pet peeves is players swinging at the first pitch especially with the bases loaded. I just don't understand why so many players swing at the first pitch of a AB.
With pitch counts so often looked at hitters should be working pitchers always except in a few instances which a pitcher is always around the plate. The Giants continue to swing early and often and it just gets me frustrated.
I just don't understand why players don't work the count more often , work more walks, and get starters out of the game due to pitch count. Quick offensive innings 7-8-9 pitches also work against your own starter who gets less rest between innings on the bench.
This is the biggest problem by far for the Giants. One of the things I would like to see improved for 2014.
Go Giants !!
