Quote from: HogBroker on Today at 05:04:02 pmPeople keep talking about a batting philosophy of running up the pitch count. But how often are pitchers taken out due to pitch count? Isn't it more often when they get in some trouble? Like 2-3 runs in an inning, a string of hits, loss of control, etc. What's the real point of running up the pitch count?

It also seems like we are hitting from behind the count very often. Then getting us out on pitchers' pitches - strike outs, fly outs, grounders (man we pound balls into the dirt often too). Meanwhile, earlier in the count we watch hitters pitches go by.

Then again, what it seems like and what the reality is are two different things. Would love to see some data to really study this theory.

Quote from: hogfan10 on Today at 04:38:16 pmWho says that's not what's happening. As was posted earlier, hitters have a comfort zone, they're not all the same. Diggs, as an example, has always been a patient hitter & for the most part has been pretty successful with that approach.
