hshuler postedI can get a “waste” pitch 0-2 but the pitch should still have a purpose. I don’t get wasting a pitch 1-2 when every batter’s goal when behind in the count is trying to get back to even.
That's my thought as well. I hate "waste" pitches. Any pitch that doesn't make a batter think was a terrible pitch and was truly wasted. I think we are all saying the same thing in different ways.
