Is that a situation where he is reading, or being told, or guessing breaking ball?

Because it's un-freaking-believable to take that pitch.

He should have been sitting on a fastball. He obviously wasn't.

astrojo · « **Reply #135 on:** October 25, 2019, 08:11:59 pm »

Blum said today the bigger the spot, the softer the pitch - these Nats are only going to give them offspeed with 2 strikes. So they need to be looking for fastballs earlier in the count or sit back and crush the offspeed.

Carlos is always guessing, IMO. If he was a see ball/hit ball guy, he’d be a top 5 player.
