Ump gave Saylor an outside call or two this inning. Tristan got one last inning. The zone has (unofficially) widened. And it’s now midnight in Carolina. I could see this trend continuing and even expanding… umps are human after all.
Guess ump’s still not giving pitchers the upper region of the strike zone (or barely high pitches.) Yet….
Downright Excellent work by… TRISTAN STEVENS!!!! 5 innings 1 run in a winner goes on, loser goes home, rubber game for the CWS berth. and against a good lineup with some dangerous hitters in the middle
I’m good with leaving him in. He’s throwing strikes and his change is very good tonight. Maybe one more inning
I sure hope we have seen the last of Tristan tonight. He has done a great job, but he is getting a lot shakier, at least to my eyes.
The ump has two different strike zones. Of course we are swinging at pitches off the plate. Don't have a choice.
