I'm sure he's a terrific catcher, but I don't see anything in those three pitches that justifies the missed calls. That is an extremely tough at bat to take.
I also question whether expanding his zone to make contact with those those pitches is going to be a winning strategy for a hitter in the long term. Unless you're Kreskin, you're not just expanding it to get to the low and away pitch, you're expanding it in all dimensions, right? Unless you are Vlad Guerrero, that is asking a lot of someone facing major league pitching.
