aaaaand a call in the exact same location the inning before that was called a ball was called a strike. It's just an insane amount of inconsistency for something that we can call w near 100% consistency no problem.
Well, I tried. At least it was only 1 LOB and no one in scoring position. Improvements. It does feel like a game where the batters are swinging hard trying to strike the killer blow. Let's hope it comes, or they just start stringing together some hits.
Pitcher that’s slow to the plate, catcher just put in the game fresh off the IL, fastest runner on the base paths... and no game plan to try and steal and avoid that GIDP that just happened. That would have been the perfect time. Game isn’t on the line there, but its still only a 1 run game. Not really in position for a big inning. Straw on base with less than 2 outs.
