I'm looking at the series stats he's been hot all post season. Clearly they came at him with a plan tonight to avoid this. Just pitch him inside, if he swings and misses, great, if the ump calls a strike, great, if he walks, ok, but lobbing one over the middle to the hottest hitter this post-season was a bad idea. Throwing anything over the plate to this guy is a really bad idea right now.
He tattooed that ball ... 98 mph EV ... keep doing that and eventually will have some results to show for it That was not an at bat that said he is struggling (though almost every other one has been) Hopefully it's a start to hitting better
