Now what's all this drivel about anticipating the negative outcome ?? I'm just saying with first base open and Castro behind him being generally less of an XBH threat, I'd expect they pitch around Coughlan...they didn't and the Cubs scored. More to the point, this team has made 6 XBH in their last 6 games. I can't imagine why the other teams aren't challenging every hitter, every AB. When the norm is a negative outcome, you tend to expect a negative outcome.
