I'm shocked. Framber and Garcia pitched lights out. The bats came around, as they should've.

They talked about it last night. They finally started pitching to contact instead of trying to make perfect pitches. Basically, when you're pitching to contact, you're throwing them stuff in the strike zone, but your goal is pitches against which they don't make hard contact. What does this do? Eliminates a bunch of walks.

That's pitching 101. Too many get intimidated by a power lineup and try to nibble on the corners. Unless you have the uncanny control of a Greg Maddox, you ain't living long like that.
