29/4 Game Thread Miller vs Kochanowicz

[seth8734]

He walks 2 guys in a row... isnt close... and Randy and Tellez swing at the first fkn pitch?

Yea that was horrid. Must have felt bad for the pitcher!!

Miller running into some big trouble here. Hopefully they don't score with runners on!

This dogshit pitcher has probably the lowest K rate in baseball the last two seasons, it's virtually impossible to do what the Mariners did in the first inning.

Jesus Polanco

[Seattle or Bust]

My God Polo.

Cannot wait for Polanco to play everyday. Hurt the right side is getting close. Gonna be tough not to see him play tomorrow. He is just unstoppable. Finally big hit cashes in. Bottom of the order helping again. This is great to see!!!!

on one hand you can play it passive and wait for the pitcher to show he can throw a strike, or on the other hand, you can go aggressive anticipating the pitcher will begin to aim his pitches in order to get a strike, aggressive didn't work

Hard to see so much weak contact against a shit pitcher.

Miller has been an absolute walk machine this far just walking way too many batters early on this season!!

It's a fucking walk a thon for Miller. Really hope he is not hurt. He has looked really off this season. THROW FUCKING STRIKES.

If not for Polonco this game would be bad. Horrible pitcher weak contact and Miller has 5 walks through 4 and still scoreless. Needs a quick inning here.

I would let Miller start the 6th!!!

The last time you swing is when a pitcher is "aiming." That means he's more than likely going to throw balls.

Randy is batting .200. Let the pitcher work himself into a bad count to get your pitch.

That's what I'm saying, I believe the thinking is the pitcher is in a bad count to begin with, he's going to be overly concerned with throwing a strike that his pitches will straighten out. Randy is batting.200 but he also has a .358 obp. I don't think he just mindlessly swings at pitches. You may not like the strategy but I think there is one.
