    Houdini Locke at it again

    54 pitches, 3 BB, 3 H, yet only 2 runs allowed the first two innings.

    Every game it's the same thing. Now here comes the Pittsburgh rally.

    Last five starts: 24 IP, 33 H, 17 BB, yet only 12 runs allowed. How is that possible?

    Well Cahill just knocked in 2 more. Seems this guys juggling act has come crashing down. Great call on Dbacks.


    Props

    This was extremely predictable today. Locke is down to basically three pitches now to save his tired arm. The Dbacks hit all three, sinker, and curve quite well. Actually mostly just sinkerballs over last several starts. Dbacks really line up well against sinkerball lefties for future reference,

    Here is their hitting chart against those three pitches

    Name wSI/C wSL/C wCU/C
    Matt Davidson 0.2 -5.9 -0.29
    Wil Nieves 3 -1.37 -3.47
    Aaron Hill -0.09 5.15 2.35
    Gerardo Parra 3.08 -1.5
    Paul Goldschmidt 1.87 1.78 0.75
    Didi Gregorius 2.3 0.84
    Martin Prado 0.06 2.03 3.08
    A.J. Pollock -2.08 -2.18 3.35
