Casas struck out looking on Ball 4.
But there ISN'T a challenge system. So you have to foul that pitch off and stay alive, or you live with the call and put your fate in the umpire's hands.Nah I want my hitters swinging at strikes and taking balls. Casas shouldn’t be punished for being better than the umpire at their job, and that’s happened far too often this season. That pitch wasn’t even borderline
He will be umpires worst nightmare with the challenge system
Ball 4 or not, you gotta expand your strike zone as a hitter when you have 2 strikes. You're leaving your fate in the umpire's hands there.
He fouled off 2 pitches earlier in the count that were further outside than that last one.
It was a full count he wasn’t even behind. He should have been the tying runner on 1stBut there ISN'T a challenge system. So you have to foul that pitch off and stay alive, or you live with the call and put your fate in the umpire's hands.
That's the fate you live with when you fall behind in the count.
Not saying he didn't get screwed on the call. He did.Baseball equivalent of victim-blaming right here.
This season is the opposite of fun
He did that twice, with a 1-2 count on pitches that were further outside. Not sure why he laid off that last one...
Another game lost because of SS defense
All that does is show just how bad this team is. That the loss of Trevor Story is some monumental loss.
Should be RafaelaThe bigger question is: who will be our SS?
Who is going to stop the errors? It's the entire infield.
It's just maddening
