Phillies last night. Top of the 8th, tie game, bases loaded, 1 out. Then two called 3rd strike strikeouts.

Seriously, just shorten up on the bat and put the ball in play. Please!

How often would that happen if there was a clause in the contact that said a players pay per PA would be computed at the beginning of the season and he’d be docked that amount every time he took a called strike 3. The 1^st thing that would happen is technology would be calling pitches not swung at in very short order to take the umpire out of the equation, and the 2^nd thing would be called 3^rd strikes would immediately drop off.
