Brad Halsey is putting his defense to work tonight, having walked none and struck out none. It looks like the Astros aren’t going very deep in the count, as Brad has only thrown 79 pitches through seven innings. The Diamondbacks lead 3-1 in the top of the eighth.
And that 79 includes a 23 pitch 7th. 56 pitches through 6 innings. Nice.
and if you look through our game logs, you will see that of the guys on our current roster ONLY morgan ensberg takes much of any pitches. and he gets a LOT of heck for doing that. he’s the only guy with over 10 walks. the only guys with over 4 pitches/ PA. gary gaetti the hitting coach believes in hacking away and this is why starters are almost never knocked out against us. unless a pitch is in the dirt or WAAAAAYYY outside, the guys swing away.
might could this be a good part of why we are 15 – 25???!!!
