Fine to swing there. She walked 3 after a lot of fouls and close pitches...
If the pitcher was very wild, sure... but with the bases loaded and one of your great hitters... no sense in starting the count down 0-1, as that pitch was a strike.

You watched the pitcher walk 3 this inning and you swing at the first pitch**

If the pitcher walked 3, you make her pitch to you.**

Disagree completely! Take the first strike. She is a great hitter. 0-1

Disagree, she was having a hard time finding the plate. Take a pitch first.**

Good hitters are good hitters because they are situationally smart also**

Never understood that. Take a strike then go after them.**
