All series they have been too aggressive and have been caught chasing off speed pitches.
Finally changed the approach a bit yesterday and it paid off.
Now they have a guy out their throwing soft stuff for strikes with some of it on the plate and some in great locations but they are watching called strikes all game since they are trying to be patient.
