    If Lance can't throw a strike, at least hit someone

    I feel like when we were in the NL with a runner on 3rd less than 2 outs you could count on guys getting it into the air for a sac fly. Now it seems to be a struggle.

    Do the stats say to avoid that strategy now?

    Stats say getting ball in the air is great. Pitchers are better at the strategy of not letting batters make contact.

    Much better Lance! Didn't throw many pitches this time.

    Hitting a sac fly was never a strategy.

    Alvarez is a professional hitter.

    That is all.

    No excuse for that. Infuriating.

    I don't think there's anything more frustrating in sports then when your pitcher is struggling to find the zone.
