Barton Blast

Daric Barton picked a good time to hit his first home run of the season. It came with two on and gave the Athletics a 4-1 lead over the Angels. It's the fifth home allowed by Garland so far this season.

Barton, like former Athletics Nick Swisher is getting on base at a great rate but not hitting for power. Why throw anything out of the strike zone to these players? They don't hit that well when they see a pitch they like, so why not reduce their OBA to their batting average by putting the ball in the strike zone?
