The elite defender Bryce Harper just got taken out of the game for defense in the top of the 9th, but I’m supposed to believe Lopez wouldn’t have scored from second on Sanojas double. @MLB
No matter how dumb the umpires are, the Marlins and their coaching staff will always find a way to be dumber. Why is Gibson pitching to Bohm? For an organization who cares so much about platoon matchups when hitting, I guess that one didn’t matter.
No one in the media will talk about it or care because of who it happened to but the Marlins have been absolutely robbed by the umpires all night.
Absolute joke. Do your jobs @MLB
@CraigMish Protecting Tyler Phillips is a smart move by the ball club, he’s only turning 29 this year, don’t want to push him too hard and stretch him to 85-90 pitches
Caught stealing 4 times, 8 strikeouts, 2 GIDPs. That’s how the Marlins have managed to score 1 run in 8 innings despite 11 hits, 2 walks and 2 HBPs
One of the more dumbfounding displays of baseball I’ve seen. Impressive stuff.
@AntonioArchil11@CraigMish I have way more issue with the walk to Ward and the HBP to Rutschman. Then you start thinking about pitch count and it’s part of the reason you are trying to sneak an 0-2 fastball in the zone past Alonso. If the Alonso HR happens with no one on base, you live with it.
