Let's hope Berrios spends little time tonight flirtin' with disaster.

#1. It was a 2-0 pitch. In a late situation where a HR wins the game. This has nothing to do with a "bad at bat." What's the worst that could happen? He doesn't hit a HR? It's bad baseball NOT to sit on a pitch and try to pull it over the fence. #2. If Rosario walks in that situation, it's up to an obviously hurting Buxton, against a RH pitcher. If Rosario ends up walking, after never getting a pitch to hit or fouling off the ones he gets, I have no problem with that. But the Twins are NOT in a better position if Rosario walks. And that exact situation applies to Mauer ABs as well. Take a walk when it's the right thing to do? No problem. Take a walk when the next hitter(s) have a lesser chance of driving in a run? I don't think that's smart baseball. #3. Nobody is saying there's no abstract value in getting on base. I'm saying there are situations where it makes more sense to look for a pitch to hit. Don't get it? Fine. But if you do? You should be hacking, and hacking hard. #4 Mauer never takes a bad AB? C'mon. BTW, "never changing" doesn't make him a "consummate professional." It makes him someone who can't or won't adjust to the situation. Running the ball, down 10 with 2 minutes left in a football game, just because you're good at it doesn't make you a professional, either. It just means you don't understand the situation.

That's not a strength of Mauer. It's a weakness.

I also like that when he got to 2-0, he was looking for a specific pitch to turn on and hit onto the plaza. He wasn't looking to take that pitch, or slice it to left for a single. Two outs, favorable count, chance to end the game with one swing, and he took that chance. It doesn't always work out, but that's exactly what a hitter should be looking to do in any similar situation.

if a statistician sees you with one foot in boiling water and one foot in a frozen bucket of water, he'll assume you're pretty comfortable.
