GAME 2 5. RHP Strike --> swinging in-play --> 1st pitch single (5:20 perf/perf connection didn’t keep it in the infield!) 2/4 6. RHP Strike --> swinging in-play --> 1st pitch single (5:46 definitely fortunate result there!) 3/5 7. RHP Strike --> swinging in-play --> 1st pitch single (6:14 why is he throwing you first-pitches in the zone? Not paying over for him, clearly...) 4/6 8. LHP Strike --> swinging foul (6:43) --> 2nd pitch double (6:57 - noiceeee) 5/7 ***4 ABs --> 5 pitches --> 4 hits in this one...can’t argue with the production! **7:51** my thoughts exactly...this L ain’t on you, boss. Team stinkin’ up the joint around you doesn’t help! Average up to .335 on the year....that’s Ichiro levels...but he didn’t have consistent 60 HR power!!***

GAME 3 9. RHP Strike --> swinging foul (8:37) --> 3rd pitch strikeout looking (8:54 its like the pitcher heard you! Reverse psychology FTW! Or FTL, in this case?) 5/8 10. RHP Strike --> swinging strike (9:14) --> 4th pitch single (9:41 another very fortunate one!) 6/9 (giggity) 11. RHP Strike --> swinging in-play --> 1st pitch single (10:34 AGAIN! Do they never learn? At least this was low-in ish...) 7/10 12. RHP Ball --> ball (11:27 second, but point stands!) --> 6th pitch 2-run HR (12:28 awesome AB! I want to direct your attention to the take on P5 (12:15) - if you swing at that, you don’t get that payoff pitch that you were able to drive - patience immediately paid off, though aggressiveness has this series as well!) (12:50 green line!) 1/1 BB 13. RHP Strike --> swinging foul (13:20) --> 2nd pitch pop out (13:31 one of the few times this series you’re retired on a ball in-play!) 7/11 *****13:47** You’re a one-man wrecking crew this series, it seems! Your production helped the team to grab game 3...LOVED AB12, fantastico AB***

GAME 4 14. RHP Strike --> swinging in-play --> 1st pitch solo HR (14:30 wasted no time with that one!) (14:58 green line!) 8/12 15. RHP Strike --> swinging in-play --> 1st pitch fielder’s choice (15:49 good swing timing, weak contact...maybe the game taking back after giving a bit earlier in the series?) 8/13 16. RHP Strike --> swinging strike (16:42 - prefer to see ya take that one) --> 4th pitch ground out (17:05 lol, no that was not in the middle of the plate...) 8/14 17. LHP Ball --> swinging in-play --> 1st pitch ground out (17:38 see, that’s how I would have been pitching you most of this series...) 8/15 *****17:56** man oh man, what a disappointment...from being 1-hit to losing the game, and the series. Oh well, we certainly didn’t expect team success this year, and it generally is meeting that expectation***

GAME 1 RHP - AVOID LOW-IN (COLD)! ALL ELSE HOT! LHP - AVOID LOW-IN (COLD)! HIGH-OUT, MID-LOW NEUTRAL...ALL ELSE HOT! 1. RHP Strike --> swinging in-play --> 1st pitch single (0:39 - that’s the way to start a series!) 1/1 2. RHP Strike --> swinging strike (1:45) --> 3rd pitch strikeout (2:04 and the hole gets deeper! Lol I disagree with “smile and wave” here - call it what it is, you got yourself out!) 1/2 3. RHP Strike --> swinging strike (2:27) --> 3rd pitch strikeout (2:47) (2:58 agree lol ,I’d typed “gross 2 ABs...” prior>) (2:38 ya you can tip the cap for that one haha) 1/3 4. RHP Ball --> ball (3:45) --> 4th pitch BB (4:26) (4:10 whoa, you said that and then took a tough pitch! What has happened to the old Ginger? lol) *****4:37** tough look for the team, in a 2-1 series-opening L to your formal rival Padres. For your part, a single (one of only 5 hits on the day for the team) and BB are nice. Those book-ended 2 atrocious ABs in the middle - 6 pitches, 2 Ks. Yuck!***

This was a pretty solid series for me, not so much for the bullpen... but that's the game of baseball!

[@helloimjake]

SERIES First pitch: 3 balls, 14 strikes First pitch result: taken for ball = 2, swinging strike = 15 (14 in-zone, 1 outside), called strike = 0 AB Results: 1/1 w/ HR, BB after taking first pitch, 8/15 w/ HR after swinging at first pitch Series - 9/16, 2 HR, 3 RBI, BB

[@helloimjake]

Notes - Rough team series loss, despite your personal successes at the plate...yikes, that late inning bullpen is stinking up the joint! Boooo lol - Good hitting by you, but honestly poor pitching by them. Talk about a lack of adjustments lol...many of your successes came on P1, and they didn’t adjust to get you to open up your zone...and the results speak for themselves.

Indeed! The game is following real life with the Cardinals... the bullpen is inconsistent at best. My plate appearances aren't enough to carry the sketchy bullpen. Thanks for the superb stats and analysis!
