His fastball was just a tick down to start the game, but I thought he had some good breaking balls again, threw some good change-ups, battled.

In the process of traveling another foot, for example, a higher percentage of breaking balls could break out of the zone, increasing walks undesirably.

With the count 1-2, Bass threw a breaking ball that appeared to be headed to the upper inside corner of the strike zone.

He explained that Scherzer was having trouble getting his slider on lefties’ hands, so the curve was added as a gateway to throwing breaking balls across his body.

He took another big hack at a second breaking ball and missed again.
