Hmm I would think the message should have been to get the line up to hit. /s
After the season?????
I’m glad we decided to save that enlightenment until after the season. Why have real time feedback?
Ya think? I feel like this could have been a 20 min meeting with the clubhouse. How about telling citron not to suck so much ass as a hitting coach?
How about “you’re fired” instead?
We need to game plan every game better. If all that happens is coaches preach aggressiveness, the league is going to figure that out and pitch you accordingly…hence the playoff performance.
Astros gap between the number of pitches they saw and 2nd place was the biggest gap since 1999 in MLB. Astros have always been top 5 in least pitches seen during this run, but last year was a whole new level.
Also, Taylor Trammel is here, so you got your work cut out for you!
Patience is a virtue. But those Altuve first pitch dongs are the bomb yo!
At least they’re aware of the quick ABs not ALWAYS being a good thing.
The approach has been ingrained for years now. Off-season is a good time for a mini-reset.
Every so often the last few years, we’ll hit these periods where we’re more patient on borderline pitches but still have that aggressive mindset and it’s a beautiful thing to watch. Like when we’ll go on a run of consistently getting some 2 out magic when we’re batting.
Oh so swinging every first pitch is in fact a dog shit strategy??
Crazy
Some players simply aren’t good at being patient. Being aggressive is what got Altuve to be a HoF player.
Pena, though, needs to change his aggressive approach.
Ya don’t say…
So the thing that they should have been working on half a decade ago?
