For the players here,
isnt it funny how mental hitting is.You work all winter long to perfect the holes in your swing,but then come game time and you do the slightest thing wrong,and its failure.

One night,I went 2-4 with 2 doubles,then the following night,because I feel I wasnt overmatched,but out-thought by the pitcher,I went 0-3.

To all those people who say you have to hit one way or the other,not do this or that,well thats just wrong to me.Our hitting coach gave me some great advice yesterday,he said when Im in the box,I need to not be thinking,just reacting.

To add on to what your coach said, it's the whole reason there's spring training in the majors and why we practice everyday for hours just swinging away with different situations in mind. That muscle memory builds and when it comes game time you're not thinking, just reacting. Play like that and you'll always succeed.
