Snake Bytes, 4/30: The Story remains the same edition

[AZ Central] Another short outing for Robbie Ray in loss - The story, according to Hale: Ray’s continuing inability to throw strikes. Ray needed 64 pitches just to get through three innings. "He threw so many pitches again," Hale said. "It brought back a lot of memories of last year, the amount of pitches he threw. You knew he was going to get maybe five innings at the most, six if we were lucky. He wasn’t locating any off-speed pitches No. 1, and No. 2 the pitches that are hit were up. It’s that simple. They (the Rockies) obviously like swinging the bat in this ballpark and if you don’t locate your pitches they’re going to hit them.
