[Il BuonO]

Two games in a row Hyde has used Wells in high leverage that wasn’t the 9th.

I haven’t seen every pitch, but the home plate umpire has been really good tonight.

Not a little. Very inconsistent.

[Il BuonO]

Urias not exactly dazzling with his defense tonight.

[Il BuonO]

Home plate umpire just missed another one.

[Il BuonO]

Wells, not fazed by the big money Yankee bats.

I have seen every pitch, so I take a different view.

As soon as I posted I had a different take.  I think I may have been in shock after seeing about 5 borderline pitches called correctly in a row in the 7th inning.

Chapman pitching around Jorge Mateo.

There’s no mistaking Wynns for a bat first catcher.

I’m surprised Mateo wasn’t running at any point. Especially with Wynns batting, because if Mateo gets thrown out and it goes to extras, you have his speed in second to start off and either have Wynns sac bunt or pinch hit for him to start the 10th. If he is safe, who knows what can happen?

Not at all. They even mentioned it in the 3rd inning. Completely sold out for the fastball on that last pitch.

He has to run there. What are odds of 2 hits off Chapman or an extra base hit.

Gutierrez would be the one on base.

With Gutierrez and Wynns batting? .002%
 

If Mateo gets to second during Kelvin’s at bat, we most likely see a pinch hitter for Wynns.

Exactly.
