Good approach. Make the pitcher throw a lot of pitches. Maybe we can get to their BP in the 7th or 8th inning.

should be down by only 5 runs by that point.

And that is exactly one of the things that has obsoleted the idea of forcing guys to throw more pitches to get  teams to their bullpens - bullpens are pretty damn good today, and deep enough that no-one has to go twice through the order. Maybe if you are lucky in three games you tire out a BP for your opposition's next series - great victory there.

yep. people made fun of them for (gasp) trying to get better last winter. imagine how completely crazy it is that front offices have to defend their choices to try to improve their teams.

there again is what is wrong with the tiger approach. tork took two fastballs for called strike looking for something better, but then ends up topping a change-up because he has to protect with two strikes. Especially with all the umps in the league calling pitches outside for strikes, it's just too suicidal to just hope for mistakes.
