Can we get a real hitting coach, before this one f**ks up all the kids with this bs philosophy of taking so many strikes so that you get the opposing pitchers pitch count up to get him out of the game early? This is totally ludicrous.

The best way to get the pitcher out of the game is to beat the heck out of his pitches, and the only way to do that is to swing the bat. The emphasis on base on balls drives me nuts. There isn’t one hitter who doesn’t want to hit the ball rather than draw a walk. And a walk is not as good as a hit, as the saying goes, because a hit can be for multiple bases.

Really a shame that Wilson was pitching so well and then this meltdown.

I really despise Willy Adames, but Kolten Wong will always be held dear in the darkest corner of my heart.

Let’s hope that gets his motor started and he begins to rake the rest of the way.
