Single to the opposite field don't make it on to Sports Center highlights.<br /><br />Batting coaches are not good enough to convine batters to do what is more productive to tge team<br /><br />Zim and Harper botg get it as they have as many hits tge way than pulled. That why they hit tonight tgey went with tge pitch. Most the othets didn't.

I have seen Revere and Span play head to head and in each game Revere has outplayed Span. I would take revere over Span in a heartbeat,poor routes and all.<br /><br />I am fed up with this clown. He is nothing more than a minor leaguer when it comes to hitting. Someone should talk to him about his plan at the plate. Here is a suggestion Mr. Span - ball in - pull; ball middle - up the middle; ball outside - go opposite field. If you can't follow these directions - ride the bench.
