Guys the Indians are first in baseball in walks. Do you all grasp this? A team with really no real superstar offensive power (sans Asdrubal maybe) gets more free passes than anyone. The Tigers? The Detroit Tigers who have Prince and Miggy? 24th. I can't stand when people want players replaced or Leyland replaced. How about a change in approach across the board? What the tigers are doing clearly isn't working so why would it hurt to work the count a little more?

Sorry but the Tigers are built to crush the ball, not work a count.

Miggy hasn't taken a walk in a week and is at a career high for AB/BB. We do need some OBP to go with our mashers, although a reduced GIDP rate would also help.
Eliminating that Yankee odor since 2006!

Working the count will have you crushing more balls.
I've been preaching this for weeks. It's the same as 2008, we're too aggressive, we're too free swinging, we need to have a better approach. Guys like Miggy and Prince, I let them do what they want for the most part, but overall, get on base. Hackson has had a much better approach and works more counts, why doesn't everyone?
Can we trust our hitting coach(es)? Are they teaching/preaching the right things?
I hope we have diplomatic relations with the country that ball lands in.
