What's with NL batters chasing bad pitches? [View all]
I don't watch many NL games, but I've noticed that NL batters tend to swing at bad pitches. A lot. These aren't pitches that have a lot of movement in them. They're bad leaving the pitcher's hand.
Is there some hitting philosophy in the NL that accounts for this? I know the AL is all about patience in the batter's box. Is the strike zone more generous in the NL per the umps?
