I agree. Most fans go to the game to enjoy themselves, hang out with friends/family, and have a few beers. I'm sure they know that foul balls are a part of the game, especially down the lines, but I doubt it's something they're going to be paranoid about. At least until something happens.

Survival of the fittest, Darwinism at its finest, if you die from a flying bat in a baseball game you deserve to die honestly

It's one thing to see them swinging at pitches they can do something with and the ball doesn't find a hole. It's another to see them constantly swinging at pitches they can't do anything with. That's what is happening.

I'm pretty sure that was sarcasm. Regardless, these hitters need to figure out what got them to the 7th game of the world series and the best record in the AL for the first 2 months. This is exactly the offense I was afraid of popping up.

In other news, a skunk is loose in the Cardinals dugout.

[ChiefsCountry]

We are close to breaking out him.
