You have to make the pitcher work. You have to love a walk as much as a hit. Trull is the ONLY one who I thought showed really nice plate discipline today (and she was plunked the first time, so it's a small sample size). I mean, I get the idea of being aggressive and if you see a good pitch, swing at it--but the best pitch will rarely be the first one of the at bat, statistically speaking. Pitchers don't want to just serve up a home run ball with their first pitch to a batter. They want to see if they'll chase. You get 4 balls but only need 3 strikes. When you consistently swing at the first pitch, you are playing against the odds--of a walk or of seeing a better pitch.
