Joe's rant against taking pitches made absolutely no sense.

You can look at his playing career and see how that went for him.

Julio was really dull tonight. Hope the bullpen can pick him up though.

He just needs a few more beers and he'll be back to normal.

Good to see Buddy is back in bigs.
Taking pitches (and teaching kids to take pitches) is useless and shouldn't be encouraged. Basically said that batting average was important and that it makes a good leadoff many. Seems to go against taking pitches and wants guys to swing and put the ball in play. Talked about strikeouts etc.

Walden blowing it. Amazing Kimbrel isn't up yet.
The problem I have with taking pitches is when they do it with two strikes on them. So another words they are caught looking a lot. I hate that. Your best hitters often foul off the pitches and stays alive until they can find one that they can do something with.

Simmons bailed out Fredi for being himself.
