Last night Dennis Eckersley was talking about taking pitches. He said growing up when behind late in games coaches had hitters take the first strike. I had a college summer coach like this too.

Eckersley presented a scenario. The pitcher has been pounding the strike zone all night. He's ahead by two or three runs. Now he's really supposed to pound the strike zone. He asked, "What is the benefit of starting 0-1. The pitcher picks up on what the other team is doing and grooves a strike to get ahead."
