You're looking into things way too much. Moose was competing, and sometimes, that means swinging at pitcher's pitches because you don't want to go down when you think you can make contact and avoid it. Not every hitter can instantly tell where every pitch is, and most will swing if it's close and 2 strikes.

I already said he batteled and the outcome is good ...but swinging at 7 pitches out of the zone doesn't say much for plate discipline..does it?

Yesm he hit a HR but most times that ends in an out and you know this
