The best player in baseball watches strikes because he knows how to have a professional AB.
Tyler White hasn't had a professional AB since who knows when.
You made a truly awful comparison.
I hope TW turns it around because we could use a solid bat right now. But it's not crazy to have doubts that he's anywhere close to busting out.
You're right, it's not crazy at all. I don't feel like he's anywhere close to busting out.
At the same time, don't be a dumbass and act like I'm comparing him to Mike Trout. I said they both take meatballs down the middle for strike 1 sometimes. That's a fact. Every professional ballplayer goes up there knowing they are going to take strike 1 sometimes. Most of TW's ABs have not been great so far, but it's not an awful comparison, it's simply a matter of fact that it might have been premeditated and it might have been for the exact same reason Trout does it and it might have a good move to take strike 1.
He has done plenty of flinching and check swinging on strike 3 meatballs. Make fun of him for that. "Ridiculing" him for watching strike 1 is only outing yourself as not knowing a few things about baseball.
