Today In It's Hard To Throw Strikes

PrintBelow, you will see eight pitches thrown last night to Chone Figgins. All eight pitches came during two late trips to the plate, and all eight pitches were balls, as Figgins drew two walks. Neither situation was a situation in which a walk was appropriate, and Chone Figgins is possibly, if not definitely the worst hitter in baseball. Batting behind him was Greg Halman, an overaggressive yet powerful hitter who earlier had blasted a home run.
Pitchers need the hitters' help more often than you might realize.

Nick Johnson can have a .400 OBP. Dude just stands there and doesn’t swing

Good grief
I just looked at Nick Johnson’s stats from last year. 24 walks in 98 PA over 24 games!

Poor Michael Saunders.
Just cant catch a break.
Tell this to Kyle Seager
He probably thinks that’s all pitchers throw at this point. Seems like every AB starts off 0-2 with him.

The Mariners version (starter edition), yes
The Jays version, not so much (27 K%, 62% first pitch strikes).
