How do you sit there and watch 3 straight down the middle?

Mind boggling. Hard to watch.

Beyond frustrating to watch.

It’s unexplainable. I don’t know how Monte doesn’t lose his #### watching that. Just pathetic.

That’s sort of how it’s going for us this year. At this point I just hope any postseason is still in play. We will lucky to win another series at this point with who we have left. Went from host, to lock for post season, to now praying we get a chance.

They weren’t straight down the middle but they were certainly too close to take especially with the bases loaded. Don’t know that I’ve ever seen this many backwards K’s in a season

There’s always “ that guy “.... here on tnet. Yes, they were all down the middle.

Strike 2 barely caught the outside corner and strike 3 was across his knees. There is not a world where the 2nd pitch was right down the middle. GTFOH

Too close to take (especially pitch 3)

But they were absolutely NOT right down the middle. The second pitch has been called a a ball all night long, and the third pitch (which he should've still tried to foul off), was a nasty curve and you are 100% wrong about either being anywhere near "down the middle."

All 3 we're very hittable pitches.

That second pitch was outside and a ball, BUT...

You got to protect the plate with 2 strikes.

Before the last pitch, I said aloud, “Well, expect a low breaking ball. Probably in the dirt.”

And it was a lower breaking ball. It’s not difficult figuring out what’s coming. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

You got to protect the plate with 2 strikes.

Therein lies one of the problems with this baseball team. It's not that you have to protect the plate with 2 strikes....... you need to protect it with with no strikes. If the ball is in the strike zone and you can get a swing on it, then swing and hit it where it's pitched. There is no shame in hitting a single - particularly when several of them are strung together. If you do that, then sooner or later someone will put a good swing on one and it'll leave the park for a grand slam. The key to consistent winning baseball is on-base percentage and situational hitting/bunting - not exactly small ball, but a combination of small ball and percentage baseball. We just don't seem to understand that the long ball isn't necessary to win games.

We need to learn to bunt, hit behind the runner and hit over the infield and into the power lanes with the line drive. Walks, singles, doubles and triples can win all the games you need to become champions.

My issue is even if we’re a home run hitting team (and lately we’ve not been) if we were to get to Omaha that stadium traditionally does not yield many home runs. I would not think our swing for the fences philosophy on every pitch would play well there. Now I know we’re a long wat from having to worry about fhat right now but if our goal is Omaha I would think we’d be implementing a philosophy that could be successful if we were to get there.

a few games back we were swinging at outside throws that

Yup they're trying to get the big hit instead of just trying

to get a base hit.

Just can't trust the ump to call a ball on a pitch like the last strike, especially with 2 outs and the bases full.
