Ernie chased a ball first pitch and paid the price, terrible AB


Varsho had arguably the worst AB of the night.

Clement making contact with a wicked splitter doesn’t constitute a bad ab. Varsho struck out on a splitter that he had no business swinging at.

The lengths Randle will go to defend his Man Crush Varsho, even after Varsho surely had the Worst At Bat of the Night (LOL). Maybe Varsho can redeem himself later, but that was terrible from MVP Varsho. Anything to the contrary is being a Varsho Fan Boy.

He had just seen two crazy good sliders outside and was not expecting a perfectly located FB at 98 in on the hands

Kirk isnt hitting well at all so I guess Vladdy wanted to take it on himself to do damage.

Except Varland is a bum with a straight FB and Brash is one of the best RPs in the game with a FB that tails significantly

That wasn't smart, when you're the big dawg like that 3-1 in a big spot they ain't giving you anything good, he will learn.

Sure but he just read the pitch wrong… I’m sure he would’ve taken a walk if he knew it was a ball
