You act like it's ****ing easy.
When you're down in the count, you're protecting the plate. You're in swing mode. It isn't as if there's a mechanism in Moose's brain that says "this pitch is a ball so don't swing" as soon as the pitcher releases the ball. It's not a video game. For Moose to battle that AB out through 12 pitches and then win that battle with a go-ahead homer.. to not accept that as good I just have no idea anymore.
Moose has shown more patience at the plate today than anyone else on either team.
