Wednesday Early MLB Looks: What Starting Pitchers Should Be on Today's Strikeout Watch?
We need a plan. Everyone does. You've never seen a great general go into any battle without a plan. It's just not done. Hell, before I mow my yard I make a plan. Do I edge the mulch beds first? What beers am I drinking and how many? You don't want to get too thirsty out there and dehydrate like a fool. Even when it comes to gambling we need some sort of method. That's why I use a batter target list. I know exactly what I'm doing the second I see a lineup. It makes you feel smart too when you actually understand what you are seeing when the lineups come out. Everyone wins with one of these.
Remember, we need to see AT LEAST five of these batters in these lineups when they are released. If that happens, get ready to fire away. Be somebody today.
