That was on the pitcher. How you gonna have an 0-2 count, the batter just barely fouled off a ball outside while looking at 2 in the middle of the plate, and you gonna throw him another strike. I'll take it though
Ugh... Jake Rogers who we gave up making that play while the player we got from that trade is not even on the roster...
With his struggles of late, I can see Espada wanting to make sure he had a good inning in a non-leverage situation behind him.
I was really confused by Diaz's approach on that AB. He took two strikes and he's normally a first pitch kind of guy... then he swings at the ball 3 feet off the plate and luckily didn't bite us in the ass. Getting another hit here feels impossible... does this team still have some magic left in them?? I hope so
