Todd Wellemeyer: Bad Pitching Or Bad Luck

The Cardinals' Todd Wellemeyer was not making excuses when he told reporters on Monday, "I'm not getting any breaks whatsoever. It's a cross between either bad pitching or just bad luck, and that's not a good combo to go through. And this is three months of it."

The statistics support Wellemeyer's contention; the hitters facing him are batting .349 on balls in play, 53 points above the National League average. In 2008, when Wellemeyer went 13-9 with a 3.71 ERA, his opponents' batting average on balls in play was .270.
