I think their patience has had a lot to do with their success offensively
this Season! You can always tell when they're not being patient...Check the
opposing pitchers pitch count at the 5th...if it is at 50-55 then they are
just hacking at anything which is what you see a lot of during offensive
droughts and much of the last few seasons. Maybe Hatcher changes his
coaching approach this past off season. Something is definitely different
this year...or maybe, since this offensive monster all started with Willits
arrival, they've fed off of what he's done! Who knows...but whatever it is
don't stop!!
