Yup...it won’t show up extra bad in the stat book, but that should count for two bad ABs in one. Swinging 3-0 is pretty dumb if you are a good hitter...for a bad hitter...come on dude. That’s the kind of mental error that should bench you. Do managers not put the take sign out there anymore ? If Arcia isn't smart enough to know that clearing the pitching spot is valuable, then you need to take away decision-making of his In this age of time it is just a given you watch a 3-0 pitch. Honestly I just have to assume he didn’t know the count. Only explanation he swung.
