Last night was another example. Valentin was trying to get Coffey to pitch inside to Berkman and he simply kept sending that straight old fastball down broadway and look what happened. You have to be on the attack when you come out to pitch. Look at how many first pitch strikes and strikes overall our starters throw. You can't just passively throw to hitters, especially good ones. Actually after reviewing it the pitch may have been a changeup. I am not sure. Either way it was right down the middle. I was quite intoxicated by that time. In the 6th inning I go fix a gin and tonic...or three as I know the bullpen is coming up soon.
