Scott's approach at the plate just drives me crazy and I guess it is the plan delivered to him by his manager and organization. He/They seem to leave their bats on their shoulder even when "meat balls" are thrown right down the center of the strike zone. Watch pitch for strike one, next one a close ball with bat on shoulder, gets count to 2-2 and strikes out swinging. Pitchers are toying with our youngsters. I must have said to myself a 1000 times this season-- "What the heck was wrong with that pitch?" They have been taking passive and the demand for high pitch counts to a whole new level. Any wonder why all the Phil's games are 3:45 minutes long?
