Hal, I was kind of baiting you a little bit because I thought you may backtrack on your previous statements. But you are serious. Confidence is thinking you are able to get a batter out. Saying you are going to strike out everyone is not confidence it is stupid. Who really gets 21 strikeouts? Must have been a relatively bad team. So you played men's fastpitch and so did I. I have never talked to a top flight pitcher that was concerned about strikeouts. They like them. What they generally discuss is how to get a hitter out. I am still amazed that you support that. Do you tell hitters to try to hit a home run every time up? Seems to me very similar.
Am I missing something here other posters or do you agree with Hal?
