If he can make put the ball in play against Cade Smith I'll be impressed

Edit: Nevermind I got my innings mixed up

Twice. Just too many missed opportunities today. Getting 3 walks and an HBP in a single inning is an absolute gift. Somehow coming away with nothing to show for any of it is inexplicable.

That was 100% a ball.

I don’t  think so, but it was way too close to take.

Though the result wasn’t good that was a good AB. He didn’t chase and put a good swing on the 3-2 pitch but just didn’t pull it enough to get into the hole for a game tying single.

He put a good swing on it but that swing on pitch 4 was the one that hurt the most. That 3-2 pitch was too close with no challenges to take I think. Just way too far inside to reasonably get that ball in fair territory

Still too close to take.

I think there’s some nitpicking going on here if we think hitters are going to only swing at balls in the strike zone. 

[adambr2]

It was definitely a ball, but not far enough out where we can be certain that it would have been called that way, Thank Sanchez for two bad challenges.

Absolutely, with no challenges he can't be stuck holding his bat with the bases called out on strikes.

[yourout]

Have not been able to watch. Is it another Reggie roby special?

[edfunderburk]

What an odd game today. Hopefully we rally & win … we hay have missed our best change in the 7th inning.

I just have a huge problem with a backup catcher flippantly using challenges like we have an unlimited supply, especially when he's hitting. He's not good at it and he doesn't care. To be fair to him though, it doesn't seem anyone else is interested in using them even in obvious situations.

[edfunderburk]

Not using your bench in a winnable game is frustrating 

[HarryDoyle]

Bring back Haase. Bring up Quero. I don't care which or what you do to address the #2 catcher, just get Sanchez of my team.

[edfunderburk]

Our team looks sleepy today … hard to watch

Pratt is scrappy … I like him

[jason21nl]

Coop has missed a couple very hittable pitches

[RobertCrawley]

What a great AB by the youngster.

[JoeyWiemerTruther]

Pratt!

[jason21nl]

I already like Pratt way more than Rengifo, Ortiz and Perkins

They are. Mitchell, now William to go for it. What am I missing?

[Nola Beery]

Oh boy. Ortiz up in the clutch. I think I'll go get a beer, or a whisky....

No need, they pulled him back for Contreras.
