oppo slap hits >>> rockets to players standing still

his error in game 2 blew that game open 

 

he's been complete crap this series. they should intentional walk every time tonight to pitch to him. same for alvarez. they're not beating you with their bats

Yes, a hit is better than an out, I get it. But on average, you'll have better outcomes the harder you hit the ball. 

The point is, if he keeps hitting the ball hard, the outcomes will improve. They won't always go directly to where defenders are standing. 

His defense has been disappointing, I agree.

Smoltz “Corbin has been great the 7 times he’s been used this postseason”

He’s 1-2 with a 6.91 era? Am I missing something?

Nope.  I pointed it out last night.  14.1 IP with 12 H and 10 BB.  He's been a disaster.

In fairness, it's a small sample size and he is a good pitcher.  But you'd think those numbers would at least make it into the pre-game analysis, right?
