Youth vs Talent


May 15, 2021, 3:55 PM

You guys are the baseball experts, not me. Couple innings ago we had man on third with 1 out. Listening on the radio, Bob Mahoney noted the batter (not sure who but before Teo) to eye the threads of the ball and do not swing at the outside curve but wait on your pitch. He swung at the first which to Monte's credit called time to talk with the batter likely relating the same message. He proceeded to strike out swinging at 2 of the next 3 pitches in the same location. Mahoney noted at worse he should have walked based on pitch location. It would seem talent will always show itself over youth as a season's progresses, but in this case not. Hence I'm wondering if herein lies the problem.

We can’t use youth as excuse anymore

I've heard them say that a few times this season. The only thing I can think is they're not picking up on it. Was it Wright or Wagner? Not sure.

Travel ball players are all about me, me, me. No team players. How far can I hit it. Get em on, get em over and get em in is lost in today’s players.
