[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1546845, member: 588522"] Whining about swinging when the pitcher is behind the 8 ball... truly an american pastime. So many things already said on social media, but seriously, it's 100% on the pitcher and the other team they were in that situation. Don't go down 7/8 runs in the 8th, load the bases, and get the count up to 3-0 and you wont even give the other team the chance to hit at the obvious meatball that's going to come across the plate. Older generations love complaining about how every kid gets a participation trophy, but bowing out of an at bat just because the pitcher did poorly is ok? It's a shame we even have to talk about it, let alone that he basically apologized and said he'd change his approach in a similar situation. [/QUOTE]
