Nice to see Dean’s plate discipline. Lays off those high fastballs and low and away breaking balls. Looks like a nice professional hitter who knows what he’s doing.
Good to get the lead there, but disappointed to not score some more. The lack of speed on the bases there didn’t help as the medium fly ball from Wong couldn’t score a run.
I think going with the hot bats is fine but not always. A manager has to look at matchups, what their starter throws most and what his players handle best. Wasnt sure schildt would get bader back in there so soon but good he did. He struck out once but looked good on those last two bats. Hes laying off those breaking pitches a whole lot more.
