i think there is a major philosophy flaw here. every base hit (whether it be a single, double, triple, HR) isn't on a "bad pitch". Most times the pitcher makes his pitch and the hitter does HIS job. the 3 run HR we seem to be perserverating on was a 2 seam FB on the inner half that started off the plate and came back. guy put a good swing on it and it wrapped the pole. tip your cap and move on. that's what clay did. had he given up multiple HR's and multiple crooked number innings then i would maybe see the point you are trying to force. but it is what it is.
