Dansby legs out a double, helmet comes off and then catches him in the face on the slide, he's fine but requires a bandage.

gently caress this ump. Rizzo hit by pitch and the ump says he didn't try hard enough to get out of the way, so it doesn't count.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

On one hand Rizzo definitely leaned in.

On the other hand since when do we call that? Especially on a pitch out of the zone?

Haven't seen the play in question but feel like it goes uncalled way more often than not in situations where it might apply

It was a slider from a lefty with a low arm slot that Rizzo technically leaned into, but the movement probably made it seem like it was going to go behind him.

But did you foresee that it would be a 1-2-3 DP? I think not.

it's pretty rare to be able to point to a position player and say "this loss is on them" but if this game ends up 1-0 rays...
