**ALSO**
It's a well-known fact that our hitting philosophy from top to bottom is to put the ball in play, rather than to hit 'your pitch.' We've got a lot of guys swinging at un-hittable shit thinking that they can at least put it in play, when in reality, they're taking stuff that could be dropped for a hit or put into the water. It's absolutely ALL about discipline at this point. They've got to realize, as players AND as an organization that just putting the ball in play isn't enough. While you give yourself a better chance for things to happen, you also swing at a lot of shit that just won't get you anywhere. Opposing pitchers/managers recognize this, and they continuously throw you shit...hoping/knowing you're going to bite.
