Breaking down Greinke's breaking ball

It would be an understatement to say Zack Greinke did not pitch well in Game 1 of the NLCS. His final line of 6+ IP, 8 H, 6 ER, 2 BB, and 6 K probably looks worse than he actually pitched, but no one in their right mind would say he had a good outing. If you want to rate him using Bill James' Game Score, Greinke's mark of 36 ranks as the 6th-worst start in Brewers postseason history, and the worst since CC Sabathia's flop in the 2008 NLDS.
