Vince, I certainly can understand your disappointment on the 0-2 pitch. Remember, home runs will happen.

Now that I understand you had bases loaded, you want to try and get a ground ball to the left side of the infield if you can. That way the runners will have a more difficult time scoring.

The thing you want to stay away from with a runner on third, less than two outs and a very close if not tied ball game, is a deep fly ball. That gives the runner a chance to score on a sacrifice fly.

If you have a strike out pitch, it's a good time to try that when you need a strike out.

Hope this helps...
