Hey, fun fact on todayā€™s game:

The crew chief of this umpiring crew is Ron Kulpa, the absolute peach of a human who screamed ā€œI can do what I wantā€ at AJ Hinch after throwing a temper tantrum and ejecting several players in a game in Arlington.

Definitely seems like the kind of guy that should be in charge of an entire group of umps in the playoffs.

B6:

Rosario grounds out 5-3 in the shift

The guy who likes to watch the dugout for reactions, right?

B6:

Sano lines out to RF

One in the same.

In a profession full of fuckheads, he really stands out in the field.

Polanco strikes out swinging

T7:

Reddick singles to LCFā€¦because no one is one base

T7:

Maldonadoā€¦takes a meatball right down the center of the plateā€¦smokes one to 3B, Marwin knocks it down, but canā€™t nip the speedy Maldonadoā€¦Reddick to 2B

Man, Sano is a huge guy.

WTF MACHETE

T7:

Springerā€¦takes a slider the knees for a strikeā€¦singles to CF, Reddick scores, Maldonado thrown out by 89 feet at 3B

But new ballgame.

Damn Maldonado! Stay at 2nd!
