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

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.

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

Disagree completely! Take the first strike. She is a great hitter. 0-1
Doesn’t mean anything to her.

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

Exactly, a good hitter has no problem being down a strike in the count

You let your good hitters hit. I want J Lynch swinging at good pitches

Good hitters are good hitters because they are situationally smart also

I was thinking the same thing. She pitched well to Foster, Foster just
fouled until she finally got the 4th ball. Jordan just jumped on the first pitch and ended the inning.

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