well I recorded this at work but only extended it by 60 minutes which wasn’t enough, it stopped just before Martinez tied it up in 9th. but have since found out what happened. my take is this was an ugly game both ways for both teams. I didn’t get to see the pitching in the 9-11 innings but the only pitcher that did his job I saw was brebbia. wainwright was way off in the first which cost him. miller was horrible as usual. he cant even get left handed batters out. too many strikeouts by our guys and carpenter getting tossed is so him. I didn’t see it but I could see it coming. yea I didn’t like the balls and strikes calling by the umpire but as hitter you have to adjust not just sit up there and refuse to go out of your zone. to me with two strikes, you shorten up and hit the balls where they are pitched and swing at the pitches around the zone not just in it. a good hitter can hit those balls just off the plate. so him getting mad about the zone doesn’t surprise me. in the end, we got a ways to go if we are gonna compete this year. our 3-5 hitters for the most part are really struggling. its not just those but those are the spots that are gonna determine how far we go if our pitching can get better. putting Martinez back up there wouldn’t hurt.
