She just wiggles out of it. The triple play earlier in the year, for example, saved her. The defense saves her. She is able to wiggle out of trouble, but she lives in trouble. Mazzarone and Kleiman have had control issues all year, but many teams can't make them pay Peck has been a 13-14-homer player, not a McMillan. However, she did tonight or this series, she (and Castine) had a bad Cal series The bottom of the line up hits. 240 or so Pitt didn't expose anything we didn't already know. The 17-game win streak masked some things and occurred without Peck, for example, hitting HRs during that drought. So, i know your point, but the Pitt series didn't magically reveal something. We faced a top 10 team and, right now, we are not,

. . . you're throwing it that often it's not really a change. One of the Pitt pitchers that beat us rarely broke 60 mph. Again, not changes just low and slow.

You know you're gonna get at least a couple during each at bat. And most were right across the plate. It seems like every pitch we were guessing. Did either of Cori's blasts come during an off speed pitch? I know she hit those out before.

they were surprised and taking change-ups. Why not let the fastballs go or foul them off and prepare for change-ups? The pitcher could adjust of course but at least it gets her out of the position of control. Like you said, must be harder than it looks.

That is how I mean it anyway.

We were off stride quite a bit. If Lemley had started and pitched a really good game to keep it close, it could have been a different game. I guess we will see tomorrow.
