I did not attend Friday night’s Marlins-Astros game and I did not have a television broadcast or a Baseball Savant game feed of it to follow along with. But just listening to Trevor Rogers’ first inning on the radio and understanding what he’s been doing all spring made it easy to predict a big performance from him. His final line: 5.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 10 K.
The old baseball adage is that after repeatedly facing the same pitcher, the advantage goes to the hitter. Well...so much for that.
