What happened in the extra‑innings loss to the Red Sox?
All right, Kevin Barker. Well, if you're not gonna hit And you're gonna rely on your pitching and defense. I guess it Stands to reason that Every now and then you're gonna lose a game like today, four three. А the uh Boston Red Sox. beating the Toronto Blue Jays and Missplays in the field. contributing mightily to this game. The last play of the game. Bas I mean it's a tough si fur first of all, let's just say Manny Gonzalez had a ho had I mean
He's an awful umpire. Say it. Say it. Yeah, he sucks. He
does.
There you go. Bam
stinks.
That made you
feel good about yourself right there, didn't it? Well, a little bit, yeah. There you go. It's about time. I mean he may he may be He's awful. He may be Angel Hernandez's son. We don't know. He's terrible. I mean the point is, uh I mean all that aside, yeah, the strike zone was was just awful. Awful all night long. However Awful for both sides. Uh, it must be said. Nonetheless, Kevin, uh base is loaded after a couple of hit batters. And single in the tenth inning. Uh Trevor's story. grounds out Dondres Jimenez. And and I think I Ben and and Chris had the call. I don't think even if Jimenez fields the ball cleanly, I'm not certain he gets Hamilton at home.
Yeah, it's a tough play, right? I mean, he's trying to set his feet in the direction that he wants the ball to go. You know, that whenever you do that, sort of the ball gets on you a little quicker than normal, right? Because he's trying to set sort of the the transfer out of the the ball from the glove quicker because he's setting his feet towards the target. It's a tough play, right? I mean, Hamilton's a fast guy. He knew it'd be bang bang. So what you have to do right infield in, ball right from a right handed hitter is probably twirling a little bit away from you 'cause he hit it off the end of the bat like I mean it's bang bang. That's a tough play. I th I think it's more about the eighth inning than it was that inning, right?
I mean Sandlin coming in. That's that's a tough get for him top of the top of the order like that, right? I mean he's gotta be perfect. I mean he you know, you're you're punching guys out and you don't get the call and then you're gonna be able to get it. Jeff Hoff Jeff
Hoffman's not ava was not available, by the way, just so we you know we'll sell that. Yeah, so
you know so they're right. I mean you're you're right. Like they need to almost play a perfect game when you're not hitting. And they didn't, and they lost. And they're not hitting. No. My gosh. I mean they're
not. Vladdy was given the uh well not given the day off. Vladdy didn't start today. Well he's i well play him. It's a planned day off. I mean you can't say it's silly. It's something that It is silly.
Yeah. You can have a day off when the season's over. Well,
it's a little early for that, Kevin. I mean Well,
I mean again
whether
third or second or whatever. Whatever they're
doing, whatever they're doing to keep him healthy, right?
How did the home‑plate umpire’s strike zone affect the game?
It's working.
They're they're playing him. That's how they're keeping him
healthy. Uh nonetheless, uh Anthony Santander again, now uh first inning single, but uh over four otherwise with three strikeouts and and I mean Just m Kevin missing hittable y uh you we were talking, missing hittable pitches.
Yeah.
Like ninety three middle, I just missing.
Yeah, I think well, I think it's because he's swinging at everything and he's on his heels a little bit. He under you know, that scoreboard's never been bigger in these parks. Like all he's gotta do is like raise his eye level just a little bit over the cap of the pitcher and he can see what he's hitting and what he's not doing when it comes to hitting homers and driving in runs. So yeah, I ask you, you know, sort of a ha ha, when's it not early anymore? Are we getting there? No. Yeah. Well, I mean they seem to tell us that he he's you know, he's notorious slow starter. Well this is well when's that Slow start and end. Like well, if you look at it. May first when when's it over? Yeah. I
mean as I think he's a two ten hitter lifetime in the month of April. So yeah.
So he's gonna stink for the rest of the month until he gets to May first?
