No snow that’s alright Phil’s scored 2

[DurhamBull]

Strahm’s stuff is good but two pitches were left in the middle of the plate esp with Bellinger who had a 0-2 count. Not smart - nibble at the corners get him to chase with a breaking pitch

The radio guys made the point when the count was 0-2 that Strahm is aggressive and doesn't like to waste pitches, hence the pitch in the strike zone. I hear you about tempting the batter to chase but Strahm seems to know what he's doing.

[billgtrman]

Spidey to the rescue!
