That's been my sense since about 3 months into the Wedge era. I think he believes the rhetoric of find a good pitch to hit - but emotionally, I suspect he's too sensitive to the limitations of each player's talent.
Sometimes you misread a pitch. Sometimes you just don't pull the trigger because it's Tuesday, (it happens). That's part of what experience is. But, I've always had this sense of Wedge being more upset with missing a good ball ...
But, the Carp makeover was accomplished in AAA, not simply a case of playing for Wedge. That's why I think there is something endemic to the organization that specifically devalues walks by hitters. Certainly this was a common belief in all of baseball for a century. But, the results are certainly troubling.
