Why does it feel like the bat on ball broke protocol?

Bunting is definitely not an alternate solution with this group.

Admittedly, I was pretty happy with Wells at that time too. The jury is still out on him for me but I see concerning things offensively. I think he should be judged over an entire season at the very least, though.
Re: Two Strikes and a Philosophy
In my mind the philosophy should be to hunt the fastball. A pitch you can handle. I’m not much into zone specific pitches. I would want to attack the fastball. Especially in plus counts 1-0 2-0 2-1 3-0, 3-1 counts. However it seems to me we are looking for more zone specific pitches. I think we need to turn it loose a little and make hard contact in those good counts.

We judge by the minute here

What more do you need to see? Nothing has changed!
If you're on base and the next batter is going to get a double, do everything in your power to get off the base path before the double occurs.
