Lots of hitters take pitches at the beginning of the PA or when they're well ahead in the count. A swinging strike in those situations most likely means the hitter was trying to be aggressive but the pitcher succeeded in getting him to miss.
If we get the Bulls we're absolutely f***ed. I can see us dragging it out vs the Wiz and a chance to catch lightning in a bottle if the right players are used against Cleveland.
6 K's to one walk is 5 innings is pretty good for someone apparently "working on something".
You might have gone over your especially quota in that last sentence.
If Sanchez had Buehrle's command then no one would be concerned about him. Buehrle is also not someone you should model your pitcher after, he's a unique case.
His plate discipline is a skill of his though, career 11.6 BB% and 15.8 K%. Sure he might not repeat a 140 wRC+, but projections still like him as an above average hitter.
Is it just me or does Hansbrough look a bit more comfortable working inside? He's been finishing at the rim much better in these last few games. Before he seemed lost whenever he got touches.
