You my friend are exactly right, incredibly bad plate discipline...how many times have we seen Nolan popup to second base because he is dipping his shoulder and hitting under the ball? How many base running blunders by major league players is acceptable? Not tagging up from second on a deep fly to right center so you can advance to third? Come on man...high school fundamentals not big league, getting picked off of first oh that grinds at our soul....Consistent finesse pitching instead of going right after a hitter on 0-2 counts. No consistency regarding batting order...Story not hitting, Gonzales struggling,Desmond a 70 million dollar bust. Think about the order...you basically have four batters trying to carry the load and with the way the other five are interspersed you aren't going to see any rallies, the hitting can't be sustained by four and if any of them have an off night, talking about Blackmon, Nolan, Reynolds,DJ and every other game wolters,not a winning formula.
