I hadn't heard that, but I have heard that since it's a relatively discretionary call, home team management sometimes discourages counting a lot of hits, since it drives up their players' salaries come free agent time.

He looked like he was flying around hitting everything but was only credited with 1 hit. On the other hand, Jerky has been absolutely crushing people.
