[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 416412"] Yep. When you are 1-2 on a batter, I think a solid understanding of where you are in the game and in the inning is important. Kind of like at the end of a basketball game if you get caught in a trap, call a timeout rather than end up with a jump ball. When you have someone 1-2, depending on the score of the game, if anybody is on base, and how many outs you have, you might want to pitch just outside the strike zone to tempt them into chasing it. You have a few pitches to try stuff like that. But, you have to balance 'being too cute' like I said with what's going on. If you have 2 outs and nobody on base, you (in my non professional baseball opinion) can't afford to take risks and end up walking the guy. Even if they get a bat on a ball its not a guarantee of a hit. Make them beat you. There were plenty of times in the game where this kind of thing happened. Pitt is not a bad team, but they're also not a great team. To be one swing of the bat away from getting swept by them is not a good show...especially when 2/3rds of their runs came from walks and we had plenty of errors in the series too. Frustrating indeed.
