*blinks*  Every time I think you're becoming less [rude], you manage to surprise me.
It has nothing to do with hitting in front of a big bat, Matt.  It has to do with folding under the pressure of knowing that the guys behind you will not be able to drive you in, or the current guys on base, so it all falls to you....
cue pressing and failing.  Rinse and repeat.
It's not about a pitcher "pitching around" littler bats so they're not on base for big bats or any of that nonsense. Try and keep up and pull your head out of your ass for a few seconds.
If you think there's zero evidence for pressure getting to a player or a team, maybe that's why your win total estimations every year are off by 20 or 30 games. 
Probably hard to see everything sniffing your own navel from inside your colon like that...
