In the few games the I have seen, our starting pitchers look afraid to attack the strike zone. With all the talk of the new bats and the advantage the pitchers have, we still do not challenge hitters. Point in case, th 5' 4" pitcher for Bama, was all over the stike zone, where stratton and especially Stantz seem to be nibbling all day. Stantz hits a batter with a .220 avg in the ankle with a breaking pitchwith two strikes and the bases loaded. @*#%#%$ ball up and go after him!
