I know he's a rookie (and know he came through with an RBI hit last AB) but I always imagined Happ as a guy that took better at bats than he often does. Like this AB where he swung at bad pitches twice with 2 runners on. Edited by UMFan83

While I get the sentiment this is kinda a weird AB to call him out on. He check swung at a ball he was more getting out of the way of, had a horse horsefeathers 0-1 pitch called for a strike and then took a bad swing at a ball in the dirt to K. Rizzo swung at the same pitch to strike out the AB prior.

Other than Votto I don't think there's a guy in MLB who bails out/contorts his body/tries to sell pitches or whatever you want to call it on pitches that are clear are clear strikes as much as Avila does.
