Gallen is doing his part. The Brewers are doing their part by putting in complete scrub relief pitchers to allow the Cubs to tie it up. Now if only our offense could have just one big inning.
Unreal. This team misses SO many hittable pitches. They’ll work the count into their favor, and they FOUL OFF fastballs that are center-center. I’ve lost count of how many foul balls we’ve hit in hitter’s counts.
If the count is 3-1, you should be sitting dead red on a fastball. The overwhelming majority of pitchers will go with the fastball when they must throw a strike. The percentage of pitches that are fastballs on 3-1 counts is insanely high. And we just flat-out miss them.
