MAILBAG: Pitchers target practice; Who decides the HBP; Baseball Strategies
Manage episode 335119491 series 2585593
It’s a mailbag! Yes… still away! Someone asked me about pitching control. They wanted to know how accurate a pitcher could be if it’s target practice. On the flip side, they asked if batters have any control on where they hit a ball. (11:20) Someone asked me about hit by pitches. We’ve spoken about players getting hit and who decides what happens. (When it’s on purpose, of course.) Let me explain again how and why this happens. (17:00) Someone asked me about the Minnesota Twins approach of taking the first pitch. They also wanted to know how the Front Office deals with a manager who is agains the suggest approach. (29:45) Someone asked me about throws to first base from the third baseman. They wanted to know why the 3B throws the ball into the dirt: can they not reach the first baseman? Is it strategy? Why does it happen?
