Serving notice to the Naturals

We will be attending another NWA Naturals game this evening. Should be a lovely evening for it. But I am serving notice to the home team now that here is one fan who does notice when you strike out with men in scoring position. That is bad baseball. They taught us way back in grade school that when you get two strikes you should cut back on your swing and just try to meet the ball. And players at your level ought to be able at least to meet the ball against any pitcher, if you do that. But no, you big pros have to swing from the heels and try to hit a home run - and strike out. It is a low-risk strategy,  because people only notice when you hit a home run, not when you strike out trying to hit a home run. Well, here one fan who notices, and who might even boo when you do it.
