What's is stay in the box even supposed to mean?
Re: Baseball vs Maryland Game 1
Well the problem as I see it, as I’ve mentioned before is there NO SHAME in striking out anymore. How many times have you players not even swing. It’s rampant at all levels of baseball. The teaching method I guess is don’t swing unless it’s “your” pitch.

Stay in your box, move closer to the plate, back away from the plate, choke up, winden your stance yotta yotta yotta, it's all BS. Go ask a professional hitting coach about all that garbage. They don't care if you do a cartwheel with two strikes. Your job is to make contact and make the defense make a play and give your team a chance. This ain't rocket science as this group of coaches may want you to believe. Bottom line is you have to be co__ortable as a hitter no matter the approach and these dudes look like corpses at the plate with two strikes.

Striking out is NOT ok with runners on base sir. Never is that ok.
