Neither the Fowler hit or the hit by their catcher were hit that hard. If the Fowler one is just a pop up like it's supposed to be he gets out of it with one run. he threw two 0-2 pitches right down the middle, that's asking the BABIP gods to fuck you.

The 2 hit by pitches is what really killed him. Carpenter basically leaned into one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) 1 minute ago, chitownsportsfan said: Nobody knew that. You play out the play. I just don't understand how a MLB player holds the ball in that situation. A little leaguer would have chucked it in faster, regardless of the ruling in real time by the umps, which Eloy could not have known. He knew that because the umpire signaled a dead ball. Look, I don't think Eloy is some great defender but of all plays to criticize him on, I don't get why you are choosing one that had literally no effect on the game Edited August 15, 2020 by Jose Abreu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't control hits like that, but he had HORRIBLE command which he can control. That inning is on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack, Jack, Jack...plenty of times when pitchers just don't have it and they get bailed out, bottom line is really good pitchers get of that inning by retiring Dexter Fowler with an 0-2 count. Extra rest of not playing for 3 days or whatever excuses we might hear in between games, just not buying it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither were down the middle. The Fowler one wasn't a strike and he was late on the first two fastballs I agreed with that pitch selection.

chitownsportsfan Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Do we watch any film on the opposing starter? Make him get the ball up my god. It's like we play right into the opponent's hand sometimes. He wants you to swing early and often, take some pitches, make him throw strikes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
