Heck, for how bad chachin was pitching he might have been trying to grove the pitches right down the middle, but because of how bad he was tonight he might just have been missing badly but luckily still hitting the zone.
I would argue all teams rely on out hitting the other team to win. Against the Dodgers last year, the pitchers did pretty good. Yeah we had to use some smoke and mirrors, but still we lost because we didnt outhit them.
My only consolation is that you have to be good to have your heart ripped out. The loss to the Falcons wasn't as bad for me because we got destroyed. They were easily the better team and I was just happy to be there frankly. The one that stands out the most to me is the badgers. I have no clue if they will ever be there again let alone actually win one and to lose to Duke who is almost there every other year twists the knife.
If I were the manager I would hold up my hand like I'm gonna challenge while the bench coach got on the phone and then yell at him video confirmed that was a ball.
