Bogud call. That ump should get suspended for something like that.
Obstruction on a batter still in the box? What’s the rule?
Gohara thru 5 has thrown 56 pitches, 45 strikes, 1 hit-HR
Apparently Newcomb interfered with the catcher by simply standing there in the box as he was going after the ball.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
He interferes with the catcher’s fielding or throwing by stepping out of the batter’s
box or making any other movement that hinders the catcher’s play at home base.
EXCEPTION: Batter is not out if any runner attempting to advance is put out, or if
runner trying to score is called out for batter’s interference
Pitch count's a tad high, but so far Newk is dealing
Neck!
Gohara gives up 2 run HR in 6th, 4 hits, 10 Ks, replaced by Socolovich with 2 outs in 6th and only 76 pitches.
Did Rangers see enough and pull the trigger on trade?
Yes yes yes
Gohara is clearly upset that Allard is getting a spot start
Newk is being a stopper today.
There are obviously no must win games in July, but this game and the one right before the break are as close as they come.
some great third base defense this series
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
If I'm AA, I go all in on Machado. That guy is ridiculously good in every phase of the game.
