With all of the conclusions people are drawing about our hitters, am I wrong to name Vargas as a Cy Young contender for this season?

The bats were alive and well until Billy sat on them and choked them out.
Let's get 'em going again. |

Yes, Butler could have tried to work the walk. Against a stud like Verlander or Scherzer, in a 3-0 count you're more likely to trigger on a 3-0 fastball, if you get one, because those guys can spin in breaking pitches for strikes on 3-1 and 3-2 as easily as they can any other pitch. He got a fastball in the strike zone that was hittable and triggered. If he had driven that pitch for a 1B or 2B to RF, it was the right decision. If he had driven that pitch deep enough to RF to score the run from 3rd, it was the right decision. Cleanup hitters of Butler's caliber - legitimate, established and dangerous major league players - are going to swing at that pitch more often than not. The mistake in this case was in the execution, not in the decision making.

Why would you think Scherzer would actually throw a 3-0 fastball to Butler?
