True, but when a guy is slugging .293 with a .614 OPS three months into the season, it's because he sucks. I don't disagree that he sucks, but it's so frustrating when people pile on Kotsay and Yuni every time they make an out, even if it's not warranted in that particular instance. So give me a break with the "you need to protect the plate" crap because it was a nasty curve that barely caught the corner. That's a tough pitch on which to pull the trigger and it did not look like it was going to be a strike. If it was a straight fastball, sure, then it would have been pretty obvious that it was going to be close. Give the opposing player some credit sometimes.
