But the flip side of this is he threw well yesterday.

He has not thrown great this year.

He threw well yesterday.

He broke a bat.

So the absolute softest ball hit yesterday was the first single that he gave up of anybody.

I don't mean softest hit.

I mean softest contact that any batter made yesterday was Paul Goldschmidt hitting the ball 35 miles an hour.

And even like the – it's just like –

When you read the line score of that, it's like almost deceitful is the way I phrase it.

It says, Paul Goldschmidt singles on a pop-up to shortstop.

You can't even describe what happened.

half a foot of his back left.

And the last hit he gives up, which didn't add to a run, but it was a dribbler down the third baseline, that was the second softest hit ball all day.

That was like 36 miles an hour.

So you had a 35 and 36 mile an hour hit.

The next softest contact of the entire day was like 67 miles per hour.

That's how soft that contact was that he got twice.

And one of them sets up the whole inning.

It's the reason that the whole – and like I said, even the Jazz Chisholm one, which should be a hit, it's about a 50-50 hit.

Even that ball's hit like 88 miles an hour.
