Interesting he's averaging over a strikeout per inning against us in that time, though I feel like a lot of those are bullshit called strikes below the knees.

I think he is throwing too many strikes and we are ready and swinging. He has faced a lot of batters in that time to only have 3 walks. Seems I recall after the first good game we had against him last year there being talk about how we knew he was going to be throwing a lot of strikes and were ready to swing at them. I believe the term Hinch used was that we "ambushed" him.

Sort of, but he was also getting a lot of BS called strikes during his run last year as well. To your point I do remember him throwing a lot of get me over pitches for strike one, and then throw junk the rest of the at bat.
