Ben Brown with the best pitching performance that inning

I have to go to sleep in about 5.5 hours. I'd like to know who wins this before I do.

Is Kelly already stealing starts from Amaya or is this more of riding out Kelly’s hot hand and maybe matchups?

Kelly crushed LHP last year. My guess it's a playing matches thing. Texas has a LHP going Tuesday as well so Kelly starts today and Tuesday against a lefty and then Amaya goes Monday/Wed.

What a crazy first inning

[CubinNY]

Got to get Brown out of there

Lol Happ was pissed, I don't blame him.

I don't think he's nibbling, he just doesn't know where the ball is going when it leaves his hand.

This is probably true

[Jason Ross]

Man, that's a blatantly bad call that also ended up, basically, neutral. 

Baseball is weird.

What just happened??

I was a minute behind, and this could have applied to two plays lol

I love weird baseball!

[Derwood]

Not watching, so how does one balk two runs in in the same inning?

Umpire called it no catch. Arraez was thus out at second on the force. This, however, was a clear cut catch (not even a trap). End result was the same but it was such a bad call, too.

[Irrelevant Dude]

And why was the second balk not simply a wild pitch?

[chibears55]

Ump catches a balk but couldn't see Happ catch a ball 😅😅😅😅

Did they call Happ's play a no-catch or what happened?

Are they calling his step to first before the pitch a balk?

Yes. They called it a balk, the pitcher then aborted the pitch and that's what caused the wild pitch. But the balk is a dead ball.

[CubinNY]

Tucker!!! Ricketts has to hate this deep down in his MAGA heart

[cl smooth]

Tucker destroyed that pitch. Sweet Jesus!

[ToolDRT]

Incredible. 

[Banedon]

Sign Tucker for 10 years.

I think they differed on the call but in the interest of time let it go bc the result was basically the same
