Found out after the game Carpenter was hitting something like .100 on breaking pitches this year. So yeah, on 0-1 maybe you go neck high with the FB, then breaking stuff, or visa versa. Still, he got on top of a pitch I didn't think he could hit out.

I really hated the double up on the high FB there. Carpenter was all timed up on the first FB just underneath it. Clearly hunting the FB up. Mears didn’t get it outside like Contreras wanted but it was further up than the first pitch. Didn’t help that Mears FB wasn’t as sharp as normal either in terms of velo and movement. 
 

Think this is more about a somewhat growing concern of mine not loving Contreras situational pitch calling

Mears is trying to make the post season roster and bad pitch calling is burning him.  But if we noticed it, I know 100% for sure the coaching staff noticed it.
