Yeah, hitting for the fences every time gets pretty old from the fan’s point of view, because of all the men we get to see stand 90 ft away from home for three outs. Show me a team that is at the top of the HR stats and I’ll show you a team that doesn’t make playoffs, or gets blown away in the first round.
I know Miggy can manufacture runs if he wants to.
The Diamondbacks' baseball IQ is low. On many occasions I would hear the announcer comment on the pitcher's deadly pick-off record then watch Para get picked off. If the announcer knows not to lean too far off the bag against a particular pitcher, why doesn't the runner know?
That's one example but they do so many things wrong that way.
The Dodgers got to post season on a sheer glut of talent, but we are witnessing what happens when a team (the Cardinals) plays smart baseball.
