I knew I’d regret saying that this umpire has been calling a really good game. Terrible call.
And that’s where Contreras’ bad challenge really hurts us, because otherwise maybe Mitchell challenges that.
That’s fair.
He still shouldn’t be starting against a lefty in a playoff game because there are better options and he’s not even a player who is well known to come alive in the playoffs.
If you’re going to have that C on your uniform and you’re going to start and bat 5th because of it and not because of your production this year, you had better at least hit a medium depth fly ball with the bases loaded and 1 out.
