Please tell me that Ray Knight discussed his batting strategy against Hendricks with the Nationals players, and did not just save it for the pre-game show on MASN.

Same thing he said after the previous Hendricks start:
1. Stop swinging at pitches below the strike zone.
2. Move closer to the plate, since he pitches outside and only throws 87 mph.
3. Step up in the batter's box closer to the pitcher. The sinkers will be higher when you can swing at them, and more hittable.
