Yes dsm tchr I agree.
Too many pitchers go for strikeouts instead of utilizing their defense

jeff, right, but 'pitch to contact' is the strategy of allowing the defense to control the game; they have pitches and pitchers who force hitters to hit on the ground or pop up, as opposed to trying to overpower hitters.  not that many great pitchers out there, and overpowering destroys the great pitchers they have.  jmo

I'm not familiar with the old one, and come to think of it you are right about the old one not being said much anymore.
