Agree with Dougie... switching to the slider seemed to settle him down, and then he was coming in better with the fastball.
Alright, solo HR to a guy that you didn't want to walk. Nothing to panic over. Glad we bought insurance.
It was actually the Angels and due to the fact that MLB suspended at least 2 of the umpires for a couple of games, I strongly suspect the protest would have been upheld. Clear rules violation.
Yeah, the Rays was about losing the DH. Joe Maddon just did a better job teaching the umpires the rules than Mike Scioscia. The lesson here is, Bo Porter was terrible at his job.
Yeah...especially considering it was a 1-run game and cost them Carter who was hot at the time. I'm still wondering how he convinced the umpires that it was OK to replace Wright.
