This is helpful. And...Hello Martin -<BR/> And thanks. This is helpful. And I do think Bonds looks for 'his pitch-' either a mistake or an inside pitch he can handle. I can't figure out what his strategy is with the low percentage pitch (low and outside), which is what pitchers are pounding him with. It seems many of these pitches result in long fly outs, when, if forced to swing becuase of 2 strikes, I would think he would be better served to foul it off or try to drive it to left.<BR/> (and, like you, I should talk. I played semi-pro one summer. Came up against a guy who'd pitched in the Red Sox organization but hurt his arm. 4 ABs, w/ runners on. All pitches were big round house curves, 11-5. Two called strikes then 4 - make that 4 - weak GIDP to short. [This is why I am not overly critical of Feliz]).allfrankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03603053163603458876noreply@blogger.com
