They can work in conflict at times. With more teams going to bullpens early and pitchers not working as deep into games, I think the former takes precedence over the latter.David Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380511200796084349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191763794537973946.post-28679195112229360832015-07-26T09:02:27.887-07:002015-07-26T09:02:27.887-07:00Great topic, David - I've seen the guys pass o...Great topic, David - I've seen the guys pass on a lot of early meatballs, and I'm guessing that's based on working the count.Ron Ieracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784507810080514099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191763794537973946.post-11098062876136399452015-07-25T23:21:48.394-07:002015-07-25T23:21:48.394-07:00Polanco certainly looks a little better the past f...Polanco certainly looks a little better the past few weeks and again had a few good at bats tonight. My view of pitches/PA has changed a little over the past year. Yes it's good to see a lot of pitches, but more importantly it's good to attack pitches in your zone if you get them early in the count. It's a great philosophical conversation about a team approach and each individual player's approach. I had it with Clint last interview and with Jeff Branson. Maybe I'll post those here.

I think I saw the other day he leads or is 2nd in pitches seen on the bucs. No reason why marte shouldn't be in the 2-hole or even kang. Move walker down lower in the order.
