RHP - AVOID LOW-IN (COLD) EARLY! HIGH-OUT NEUTRAL - ALL ELSE HOT! LHP - AVOID LOW-IN (COLD) EARLY! NEUTRAL HIGH CORNERS / MID-OUT 1. RHP Strike --> swinging in-play --> 1st pitch lazy fly out (in-mid-low - not actually cold zone, but still would rather see you take pitches in this location early in counts...) 0/1 2. RHP Ball --> ball (low-in corner - good take) --> 2nd pitch DEEP fly out (right down middle, good/good - hot streak, you say? I beg to differ, that was bad luck!) 0/1 3.

RHP Strike --> swinging strike (low-in - 2:20 yes I totally agree, this is a fortunate result...live to see another pitch) --> 4th pitch strikeout (3 of 4 well outside zone...self-inflicted) 0/3 ***(WOOOOO THERE HE IS! Unfortunately hung with the tough-luck L after coming an out short of a QS...) Tough game for both you and the team to open this one. That 0 for 4 could easily have been 2 for 4...remember how you got lucky (as I saw it) in game 1 yesterday? This is the game evening it up, I figure...*** 5. RHP Strike --> swinging strike (in-mid-high - very late swing) --> 6th pitch strikeout (worked the count full from 0-2 and swung out on a pitch outside the zone. 5 of 6 pitches outside zone...) 0/4 6. RHP Ball --> ball (just low-inside third - great take!) --> 5th pitch GIDP (damn. Started 3-0, missed a great one to smoke P4 and made 2 outs on a pitch low-in, in your cold zone, 3-1) 0/2 7. RHP Ball --> ball (well high-outer third) --> 3rd pitch GIDP (mid-just out - good swing/weak contact for some reason...game really has it out for you this series, it seems) 0/3 8. RHP Strike --> swinging strike (in-high-mid - very late swing) --> 2nd pitch fly out (mid-low-out, just late/okay - I actually liked this pitch to swing at, thought you might get a better result...par for the course!) 0/5 9. RHP Strike --> swinging foul (high-mid-out - late swing) --> 2nd pitch single (in-mid-low - good/good - go figure its here that you get the hit lol - more deserved in other ABs, but we can’t argue with results when they come!) 1/6 ***Doubled up twice in this one, with a strikeout through 3 ABs...yuck! This game is being so weird today...your one hit came when you really didn’t necessarily deserve it, where there have been...4? ABs so far that should have resulted in hits, that did not. Oh well...team won this one, at least!*** 10. RHP Ball --> swinging strike (low change, very early - looking FB, pulled the string on ya) --> 5th pitch strikeout (on what could have been a BB...) 1/7 11.

RHP Strike --> swinging in-play --> 1st pitch fly out (high-mid-in - just late swing) 2/9 13. RHP Ball --> swinging in-play --> 1st pitch RBI double (just outside-high third - good/good - fortunate to get the RBI, as that ball bounced off the top of the wall but didn’t go over!) 3/10 ***A homestand to forget - I agree. Team couldn’t muster up ANYTHING until the 9th, which you spearheaded. Oh well...smile and wave...*** SERIES First pitch: 6 balls, 7 strikes First pitch result: taken for ball = 3, swinging strike = 10 (7 in-zone, 3 outside), called strike = 0 AB Results: 0/3 after taking first pitch, 3/10 after swinging at first pitch Series - 3/13, RBI Notes - I think yesterday’s results should have been today, and vice versa...you deserved better today than you got, just as you deserved worse than your results yesterday. All evens out in the wash, I suppose... - On that topic, your hits came on pitches that usually aren’t hits for you...where you made outs on many (might even be more times than you can count on one hand!) that should usually go for hits. No rhyme or reason in this series, at all. - Certainly nice seeing the snowflake replaced by fire! Can you stay hot, indeed...not today! - When we goin live tomorrow? I’ll be tied up until around 230 EST - see ya if its after that!
I should be going live tomorrow some time late morning or early afternoon. The last couple of series have been odd, to say the least... we'll see if things get better during the live stream! As usual, thanks for the stats and analysis!

Notes
- I think yesterday’s results should have been today, and vice versa...you deserved better today than you got, just as you deserved worse than your results yesterday. All evens out in the wash, I suppose...
- On that topic, your hits came on pitches that usually aren’t hits for you...where you made outs on many (might even be more times than you can count on one hand!) that should usually go for hits. No rhyme or reason in this series, at all.
- Certainly nice seeing the snowflake replaced by fire! Can you stay hot, indeed...not today!
- When we goin live tomorrow? I’ll be tied up until around 230 EST - see ya if its after that!

Love the Diamondbacks tan uniforms. What about you?
I'm ok with them, but I much prefer the red or black uniforms over the tan ones.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
