Hensley 2 - 0 count, 3-0 (not close), 3-1, 102 FB GO to 1st.
Woof.
That dude was filthy, but he didn’t deserve that 3-0 pitch to Hensley at all.
Dude was wild as fuck and got a super questionable bottom/outside corner call that turned the AB around.
Why the fuck is Pressly in this game with six outs to get?
I’m baffled.
ETA: And a game to go.
Agree
Missed badly on 3 straight, then gets the call on a pitch that might have had one seam graze one corner of he zone.
B 9th, 1-1
