Travis Ishikawa has an 0-for-13 going now. He’s got one foot on either side of the Mendoza Line.
Ishikawa had good at-bats against Ubaldo Jimenez last week, hitting a double off the top of the wall at AT&T Park that would’ve been a homer in any other yard. But Wednesday, Ishikawa said Jimenez made a concerted effort to throw inside and was hitting his spots.
“He was getting inside my barrel,” Ishikawa said. “The velocity was the same. He had two strikes on me all night.”
Hitting coach Carney Lansford mentioned to me last week that opposing pitchers are attacking the Giants inside. Obviously, they have no fear of throwing strikes. It’s up to Ishikawa and the rest of the hitters to adjust.
