Luck is part of it, but there are trends to batted ball types and quality of contact. Despite bad luck, Beckett, and Wang last night, controlled the game by forcing a bunch of weak contact. On average that bloop and those IF singles don't make it over 50% of the time. That is why I'll take the way Beckett pitched despite the results. Last year, his 4 in 6.2 line would have featured more hard hit balls and a gopher ball or two.
Go back to sleep? No son, you need to wake up and catch up.
