Excellent data points and reinforces what we think we have seen this year. The high-leverage stats also mirrors our performance in playoff games. A question I don't know if we can answer but do we have issues of clenching up in high-leverage situations or is it the fact maybe we keep the same approach no matter the situation and the opposition is sharper in those critical situations and we are just not adjusting.
I am just glad Astudillo is not in at 3B tonight. I don't think we need the designated cut-off man. Save him for pinch-hitting to face Chapman in the 9th.
Wow, Gibson-Long and German combined to strikeout 19 St. Lucie batters. Thanks as always for these updates - they provide a nice alternative from focusing on the parent club's performance.
