What a waste of an opportunity to at least tie the game.
Cam should never, ever be permitted a challenge.
That one wasn’t particularly bad. It just nipped the corner.
Classic Astro impotence.
It was, but Walker grounding out on the first pitch was, too.
On strike one it should be wildly off the plate (like Paredes’ were, one of which he challenged) to warrant the challenge, and, again, Cam should never challenge regardless of where the pitch is.
Walker killed that inning.
Leadoff single
For sure. Was definitely expecting for Walker or Loperfido to at least get the sac fly with 2nd/3rd no out.
Loperfido had no chance
I can understand the first part, but the latter I don’t agree with. Cam Smith knows the strike zone well enough to challenge in certain situations.
Another stolen base
Infield single on a diving stop by Paredes to save a run
Throw fucking strikes.
And another walk loads the bases
Talk to AJ? How about you pull AJ?
I have seen no evidence of this.
Goodman caught looking. Challenging it was only two feet off the plate
It’s going to be overturned, sadly.
Strike out on the next pitch anyway.
