1-1 count to Pujols and then they decide to IBB him. Odd.
He's definitely had some bad luck. However, he's hit nearly four percent below the major league average for line drive percentage. He's had a lot of softy, lazy flies to the outfield also. His swing selection has a lot to do with it, IMHO.
Personally, I think he's been closer to deserving of his current stats than unlucky. I concede it's in between, but he's got to be more patient and more selective.

Ludwick strikes out swinging. A 30 pitch inning. 1-0 Cards after 3.
31 pitch inning from Bronson there. It sure seemed like more. But regardless...another solid inning from Arroyo. He seems to have settled in nicely.
~or 30...I may have miscounted.
Phillips doubles down the left field line.
