Jaha knows the feeling. In recent years he has felt like he was alone on an island in the middle of the lineup. You've just got to take your walks and still try to get pitches to hit. Pitchers are still going to make mistakes. Those are the pitches you've got to drive.
Pitchers can be a sneaky bunch.
The more that happens, the more frustrated hitters can get. That's when slumps gain momentum. Then you're out of your plan. It's just one strike. He's still got to make good pitches to get me out.
