all he needed was a grounder up the middle. especially with two rookies involved, don’t call the squeeze, just hope your pitcher can make solid contact.

Correct. No reason put the squeeze on. Winn, who is hot as hell on deck. Pitcher on the ropes. Palmer actually looks like he can hit a bit. Stupid play. Got them right out of the jam. Stupid.

To the stat cave, nerds!

Opposing pitchers OBP is .282 against the Giants, highest in the NL. 4 American League pitching staffs are above us (lower opposing pitchers OBP). I found this by the split of #9 hitters against team staffs. There’s the occasional pitcher hitting 8tjh, but not many.

Well, I think it describes Ochoa a lot more than others

Ochoa walks 3.9% of the time. That is astronomically low.

Given, he’s only had 85 PA’s, but that isnt an impossibly small sample.

The guy just doesn’t walk, and can’t hit – as such he makes a pretty lousy #2 hitter.

Id rather even see velez in the 2 hole as at least he can hit a little.
