It's all about stadiums that are not much bigger than a City League Softball field. You NEVER EVER see a hitter choke up to simply make contact when almost ANY contact will do. Pete Rose has called that out for years. You rarely see hit n runs behind the runner. Pitchers can no longer pitch inside without a glare by the batter (Wearing enough armor on the arm to go to battle). The same batters who stand there and overreact after a 310' wind blown HR are the same guys that throw a tantrum when chin music comes their way.
I watched the Cubs the previous two nights and I saw COUNTLESS batters golf swinging when base runners were needed. I stopped watching last night after 4 innings. It was absolute CRAP baseball by the Cubs.
