  1. Pages had two hits in the second game and came to bat with a 3-0 count. The next pitch was far outside but nevertheless Pages swung at the pitch and gave up a lazy fly ball to center. Had he taken the walk given to him he would have been on base when Vargas homered and the score would have been 4-0. Take the Walk.

    1. Yeah take the walk, swinging at balls out the zone will tell teams to throw junk and you will yourself out! Only Vldamir Guerrero was able to hit bad pitches with pop!!
