Bring up 1 of a couple in the minors and see how that works out...best case scenario is trade one of Liriano, Happ, or Estrada for Ian Happ (won't happen now but could at the trade deadline)
The rookie is the one with the first hit lol
Edit: 2nd hit
Also, how many fastballs right down the middle are we going to miss tonight...Goins has essentially 3 himself
Bautista should be benched for that...he basically stopped to mess with the runner putting his glove up and then the ball drops 2 feet from him...run to and catch the freaking ball
As long as they stay away from the middle of the plate and throw an offspeed pitch it doesn't matter if it's a college freshman or a seasoned veteran.
But to your point....they guess more so on a greater % of pitches than other teams/types of hitters.
