Is the ump squeezing GR?

It sure looks like it.  He's had a few calls this inning that were borderline strikes that have all be called balls.

So the game is on MLB TV too?

Game was on TBS but locally it's blacked out so they put it on MLB TV.

He needs a groundball or a K.

Said that you thought pitchers stunk after throwing no-hitters!

Ever since I was a kid I’ve paid extra close attention to what pitchers do after a no-hitter. I’ve always been curious about how they follow up what is most likely the best performance of their career. 
 

I’ve never written any of it down, it’s just something I’ve always looked for in box scores. I’d say 75% of the time (again, just a feeling) that they don’t do very well. 
 

I’d love to do a deeper dive on it to see if my gut is correct but I don’t have the time. But I’m glad to see Framber is proving me correct tonight.

Yup I'm watching the MASN feed. Unfortunately this is the most nasally sounding play-by-play announcer ever. 

Geoff Arnold. He's just the salve we need to heal from the barbarous commentary we were subjected to by Kevin Brown.

Of course now he gets a clear ball called a strike.

[Jagwar]

Heck he got a gift strike call there

[Roy Firestone]

Hitting him hard...very few swings and misses..

[Uli2001]

Minimize the damage now.

This is where a Vet like McCann can really help Grayson settle down and get these outs.

Did Grayson throw a no-hitter his last time out? Damn, this is no fun.

[Roy Firestone]

5 runs will not be nearly enough tonight...this aint the Mets...

I think I'd rather listen to someone one slowly letting the air out of a balloon

Seeing Mateo catch that fly ball makes him look effortlessly fast. He barely moves his legs and he's gliding to the fly ball.
