Hoffman’s outing should be a good lesson to the Jays pitching staff. Fastballs up are extremely hard to hit. They tend to overuse breaking balls as the out pitch but it tends to lead to a lot of control issues. A fastball up in the zone is extremely tempting for a hitter while being so hard to get good contact on. Just look at our lineup and how many guys struggle against fastballs up…
That's about 3500 more than there would have been in "The Trop".
If they ever build a new stadium in Tampa...I hope they build a giant freaking dump that is the worst of every other ballpark in a single place. Would suit that place.
