Last night’s defeat to the Astros also brought Chase Headley the 12th game of his consecutive hitting streak. Headley’s single to left field in the second off Bud Norris made his streak the longest Padres’ streak. And his 50 hits on the season is second only to Ryan Ludwick’s 52. “His daily approach is consistent,” Black said from his perch in the dugout during the news conference. “He’s a tad more aggressive in the beginning of the count.”
At this point Black was interrupted by Mudcat Grant, Channel 4’s color commentator, who has emphasized several times throughout the season the full count Headley often seems to reach. “I’m going to buy Chase a shirt that says ‘CFC’ Count Full Count.”
With a shake of his head, Buddy continued, “He’s always taken a lot of pitches. In Little League he was taking a lot of pitches, in t-ball he was taking a lot of pitches.”
