The "sticking to it" is a not so subtle jab at the guys who were tapping out and swinging at junk Hudson was throwing below the strike zone. Yes, there was a game plan, which you can find in Zuckerman and Kilgore's tweets (those are posted in various threads). The jab is at guys who changed their approach and did not stick to what made them successful. Look at that pitch chart you put up. No one got a hit below the strike zone, but look at the swing and misses. I get you need to expand the plate with 2 strikes and you aren't going to hit pitchers pitches. But before two strikes, you don't offer at Hudson crud at the bottom of the zone. No walks by Hudson when he lived outside the zone? Pathetic. Take and make him start saying, "they're taking, so I better get the ball in the strike zone." Then you pound him.
I can accept Ian's Ks. That's part of the Ian Desmond package. What I can't stand is guys who have decent eyes and good contact skills swinging at low pitches when they do not have 2 strikes.
