As you mentioned, Fuentes' first inning was 90% fastballs to which the hitters quickly adjusted and took advantage. In innings two and three he mixed it up much more using the splitter and slider to get the hitter off of the fast ball and he was in control. My question is: was the steady string of fast balls in the first inning Fuentes' choice or Heims' or the coaching staff? I didn't see Fuentes shake off at any point so I think it was Heims and/or the coaches. Somebody obviously changed the approach after the first inning and the result was much better.
Cannot keep going on and on about the pitching, I get it, you’re a pitching guy but tonight was about how the offense stepped up. You seem genuinely frustrated that every player of the game is not a pitcher
