I think Maldy is now leading the league in passed balls.

Diaz has taken or fouled 3 straight fastballs. 2 of which were center cut.

Holy Fucking shit, first base umpire absolutely fucks Diaz on a check swing call to end the inning.

That was putrid.

Diaz watches a fat 2-0 FB and fouls another.

2 pitches to hit.

And another at 3-2.

Best cut was on the last one.

Can’t check on the breaking ball.

Dude put 3 FBs over the center of the plate.

He’s firmly in Gary Sanchez territory.

Bed time

Fuck Wantz.

Top 7

Myers takes an up-and-in fastball off the arm for a HBP.

Siri swings a mile over a cutter, 0-1. Swings at a pitch in the other batter’s box that almost bounced, 0-2. Takes the same pitch, 2-1. Takes high, 2-2. Swings out of his fucking shoes at a breaking ball and misses it by a foot. Putrid punchout.

Maldy with Myers on first, 1 out. Pickoff attempt, safe. Same thing. Ball, outside. 1-0. Neris warming in the Astro pen. Ball, just inside 2-0. Ball inside, 3-0. Maldy takes ball 4 up, but called strike 1. Fuckwad. 3-1 pitch Gets a cookie 3-1, foul up the right field line, 3-2. Myers on the move and Maldy puts a good swing on a fastball, but it’s playable a few steps in front of the track. Myers back to 1st, 2 outs.

How many ball 4 pitches is this wanker behind the plate going to call strike 1? Should be 2 on, 1 out

2 outs, Myers on first, Dubon up. Rips the first pitch swinging smokes a ball up the middle, base hit. Myers a big turn around 2nd, but retreats back to the bag.

Damn.

Couple of hard hit balls to RF.

2 outs, Myers on 2nd, Dubon on first. Pena up. Loup warming in the Angels pen. Takes a pitch right on the knees, strike 1. Gets a spinning breaker at the belt and fouls it back. Fucking dogshit, 0-2. Pena drives one to right, but it’s playable at the front of the track. 3 outs. Another wasted, shit inning.

Mid 7

Framber did well overall.

He dickstomped his way to one of those runs, the defense took care of the other.

Bottom 7

Neris in the pitch. Ward quickly down 0-2, fouls another back. Another foul. Neris is working up against him so far. Frozen on a splitter that caught a ton of the plate, ponche. 1 out.

1 out, nobody on for Renfigo (or however you fucking spell it) flies out to medium left center on the first pitch. 2 outs.

From top to bottom, this might be the worst umpire crew of them all.

2 outs, nobody on for Adell. Takes ball one. Fouls one off his ankle, 1-1. Swings through a 2 seamer, 1-2. Takes one that catches the inside corner, ball. Adell immediately slashes one past Pena in to left after he should’ve been punched out the pitch before. Fuck this HPU.

2 outs, Adell on 1st. Villar up. Pickoff attempt, not close. Slaps one through the gaping hole at shortstop from the shift.

2 outs. Adell on 2nd, Villar on 1st. Walsh PHing for McKinnon. Hold your breath.
