Mateo did look kind of silly over running on that play.  Really rather goofy to watch.   

Yeah, not a good look

Ended up being a decent outing for Gibson after that 1st inning.

Catching flayballs is not as hard as they're making it look.

Wow, Sandy Alcantara tonigt:  4 innings, 10 hits, 9 runs allowed

[Flash- bd]

I'm still honestly baffled by the Mateo decision and the non replay review of the play at 2nd...

[Gurgi]

Kind of funny how baseball goes in cycles.  I can remember in the 80-90's every one was preaching low and away low and away.  Palmer would always say his best pitch was a high fastball.   Then now everyone is preaching high fastballs.   Amazing really.

Someone needs to investigate the New York umpires. That's ludicrous. 

I'm wondering whether MLB closed the video review operation and just have a guy flipping coins.

In our games, it just looks like they are protecting the umps.

[Gurgi]

Baker actually looked like he knew what he was doing that inning.  Impressive.

Low and away fastball is the best pitch in baseball. Always has been, always will be.

[ArtVanDelay]

Baker has looked good. 

[ChosenOne21]

Did we just strand an inherited runner?

Tell that to Mike Trout. 
 

High fastball is clearly superior.

Well done Bryan Baker!  Good to see.
