how many of our batters just sat there and watched them go by?

actually not as many as it seemed. We had a lot of 1-0 and 2-0 counts where we watched the first strike, but not many first pitch strikes.

And it was the third strikes with bases loaded that we watched that really got to me...especially by a senior.

i think he was referring to guys like colligan and gonzo who never ever swing at the first pitch. i mean i know the lead off guy is supposed to draw out the at bat, but you aren't supposed to put yourself in a hole to begin with, especially when you are hitting near your own body weight

I agree - it seems like every time Colligan is going to the plate, he's down 0-2, 1-2, and then when he does take an early hack, he pops it up. It makes me wonder if he would be better around #6 or #7 in the lineup.
