Smoltz and Buck have been fairly kind with him using the "extending the zone" euphemism instead of saying "He's swinging at everything"I do. Having AL rules makes offense less important and defense more important. You could make the "can't hit" argument against Javy Baez in this series for that matter and the same plus defense argument applies. Finding Javy's out pitch has been as hard as me finding my mouth with a cookie.
