The scene took place more than a week ago, before the Dodgers and Chicago Cubs opened the National League Championship Series. Looking back at the five-game series against Washington Nationals, Gonzalez said, “The first few games my plan was completely off. “I was looking slider every pitch and he threw me three sliders,” he said. When you’re when looking slider left-on-left, you’re not looking for an up-and-in slider, you’re looking for a down-and-away slider. “If he throws one of those sliders down where I’m looking, I’m probably hitting a single or double somewhere.”Gonzalez added that for a hitter like him, sometimes it’s easier to go against a pitcher with good control.
