Notice how many breaking pitches were thrown just in this game even with Price throwing them sparingly. Far and away the usual result was:
Bugs Bunny swing and miss at pitches finishing a foot outside or even bouncing a foot in front of home plate. They could not hit them and yet they could not lay off them.
Looked far more foolish than they look when they miss the high heat which often leaves the viewer thinking "well he juuuuuust missed that one".
They can't hit breakers Mr Commissioner and they can't lay off them. Your big bad MLB HR hitters look like they are playing Bugs Bunny Baseball.
Make no mistake, most of the Big Bad Bashers wearing the Red Hose don't look any better trying to hit that stuff. X can hit it some, Vaz can hit it some, Rafi can, Holt can. The rest of them are pretty helpless.
