11 Hits/33 At-Bats = .333 BA


Notes:

Okay, maybe it's not a slider issue, and maybe it's more of me still being rusty at the plate. First pitch strike percentages looked a lot better in this game. However, overall strike percentages are still a bit high for my liking. My approach at the plate isn't nearly as sound as I'm used to. I'm going to continue to monitor overall strike percentage, but I think I need to get back into the groove at the plate.

No slider changes imminent.

I got dominated by David Price. I haven't struck out that much in one game in a very long time. Very frustrating.

Silver lining: strike percentages seem to be evening out.

Nice complete-game shutout for Danny Haren. Strike percentages look good. I continue to strike out a lot more than usual, which is extremely frustrating, but I'm not thinking of changing any of the sliders at this time.
