I don't know what a hitter checks on his card with 2 outs and a runner on 1st base.
Coach signals 101 to the batter. Batter checks his card. It says, "put the ball in play."
Palmquist's 92 mph fastball seams like 96-98 mph to the hitters because it's hard to pick up the ball against him. A slow reaction time has the effect of increased velocity.
The offense is really struggling. We're playing a team that's under .500 and we can't impose our will. Still striking out at a high rate. This is a systemic problems as it appears to not matter who the weekend appointment is.
