I take it you are assuming that we wouldn't have swung at letter to chin high pitches against their other pitchers?

I'm convinced they had us scouted on that....Plutko isn't wild and he knew exactly what he was doing throwing it up there with our propensity to swing through it and pop it up. He basically missed a few spots and TD Ameritrade bailed him out on all but one which he figured it would do if he misse

I don't think they have another pitcher that could throw strikes that high routinely without hanging them. Of course he knew what he was doing. Hershiser said early on that was UCLA's strategy. They knew it was a big park and there would be hard hit fly balls. Heck we hit the "stopper of the year" when they put him in.

As far as the errors go--any team would be darn lucky to field that many bunts without an error. Bregman's error was just unfortunate.
