Kruk, considering Stults had a 4.94 ERA and a WHIP of like 1.77 before the game, I don’t think it’s actually all that hard to “lay off and take him the other way”.

Can't say that.
Maddux got the benefit of umpires’ calling those outside “paint” strikes, true. But if they had called it per the rules, Maddux would have made some other adjustment, and we can’t say whether it would have diminished his performance. We CAN say that he never ever ever ever had to even try to make that adjustment, because umpires gave him the happy handjob for a decade.

PABLO SANDOVAL AM STEAL DEATH, DESTROYER OF WORLDS.
You've complained about "drive" before (like when Jon or Flem say it)
My interpretation is different. There are certain kinds of bat contact that are drives as opposed to pops or hits or whatever. I just take “drive” to mean that it was hit particularly squarely on the bat and has more power than even a high-arcing flyball. It has little to do with location or relative proximity to a fielder; more to do with the nature of the bat-on-ball dynamic.
