B-Pod Studios

So there's a sequence

everyone is talking about after last night

Maz Murray alongside from our town for retire studios

Anthony, your thoughts.

Okay, so let me start here.

If you're asking my opinion,

let me get this out of the way right now. It was a strike. It was here. If you're asking my opinion, let me get this out of the way

right now. It was a strike. It was a strike. You're asking my opinion, it was a strike. And there's

numerous graphics out there, whether they be from Jeff Passen of ESPN on Twitter or what have you,

that MLB.com illustrate that the ball clip part of the strike zone it was a strike okay fine you got screwed

on the call is that a reason to lose nine to two like to me this is what happens okay you you're gonna

get bad calls this is part of sports and part of sports is dealing with it so look yeah they

get squeezed a little they They get porked.

Fine. Throw the next pitcher a strike. Get the guy out, win the game. Can I parse some words here? Do you think there's a difference between missing a call and blowing a call? Yeah. In other words, that was a borderline strike. Yeah, it was on the edge of the strikes. Yeah. I mean, by here, it wasn't not so it's not like it was right down the middle.

Keyword borderline.

And it was on the edge of the strikes. Yeah. I mean, like here, it wasn't, it's not like it was right down the middle.

Keyword borderline. And it was also kind of a floater not on the spot. You know what I mean? Sure. It wasn't like a pinpoint thing. Absolutely. Vasquez had move his glove a little bit. And I'm not sure if that's exactly where

Evaldi meant to throw it.

And it was,

that to me is a 50-50 call.

I mean, but that, so he missed the call. He didn't blow the call. Correct. Right. Good way to put it. The strike on J.D. Martinez in the third inning is a blown call. Correct. Okay. Don Dekinger is a blown call. Correct. We can we go the line on this if you want? So, like, that's just the first little distinction I'd like to make. Yes. Missed the call, didn't blow the call. But then again, Las Diaz was so freaking bad last night that I don't want to give them that deference either. Well, so that's the thing. And to me, there were almost separate discussions to be had here. How does a guy like that?
