sure, but there is a reason why batting averages are down, but home runs are up.

I am certain it is the reason why Adam Dunn in retired now. The amount of balls he hit into short right field only to have the 2B there waiting for it was maddening, when Dunn was batting .192

Tex did not like it too much either.

No hitters like it when they are unable to adapt to it. - Will Hunting Apr 3, 11:30 3
- it is tough, because then the pitchers pitch you inside, forcing you to hit where it is pitched. - groiny Apr 3, 11:34 2
  - They're being paid to hit the ball. If the pitchers can hit the outside corner all the time, it's moot - Will Hunting Apr 3, 11:39 1
    - the issue I have, is the hitter is confined to the batters box, while the fielders can line up wherever they want. - groiny Apr 3, 11:41
