they are letting denardo throw gimme-strikes to open each at bat, then chasing when they find themselves down 0-2.
the indian's booth put it best...the offense does not make in-game adjustments until the third time they see a guy, but by that point, they are losing by 6 runs and the bullpen is coming in, so adjustments are moot.

I'm impressed by Jensen Lewis. He throws strikes and challenges hitters, but there's more to it than that. On a shot back to the box that deflects off the pitcher's glove, lots of pitchers--especially rookies--would scramble and zing that ball to (or near) first. Lewis calmly recovered, found the ball, and put no more on the throw than he had to. He's a big leaguer.

What scares me is that a hit there by Blake leaves Wedge thinking Blake is the right answer. So maybe we're better off with Blake being the perpetual rally killer. And I'm not saying Marte is the right answer, but it certainly isn't Blake and hasn't been since 2004.
