Kingery needs to swing the bat with two strikes. It bothers me when he swings early in the count and then doesn’t protect the plate.

Bautista has a good approach at the plate. The Phillies’ other hitters would be wise to emulate it.

Unfortunately hit right at the centerfielder - ball was crushed.
