A lot you can do with 9 outs. I understand the whole “be more patient” approach, but when a pitcher is on his game, he isn’t going to put you on base. You have to identify good pitches and attack. You have to hit your way to the win. There have been some pitches to hit, guys got good hacks, and came up short. Not too many swings on pitches way outside of the zone. They are just missing the few mistakes he’s throwing.
