    What ever happened to small ball?
    I can't tell you how many times over the season I have seen teams put a runner on 3rd base with no one out and fail to score. It seems like every batter is busy trying to pull the ball for a homer. A point is a point. Hit the ball. Put it in play.

    Has anyone else noticed this trend? Small ball, smart base running, and good pitching can win games. You don't need to hit a homerun each and every time you step up to the plate.

    Yeah I've noticed that too.....to me, baseball is all about strategy. Lot of managers it seems play for big innings, homeruns, etc....manufacturing runs is still an effective way to win games.
