Brown challenged Trout twice there. Won both times that round.
Challenged him inside. Nice!

The 2-strike, groundball infield hits the past few games are super frustrating
Kinda how baseball used to be before the shift. The shift has changed our expectations of what ground balls are outs.
Yet another weak groundball hit. Sheesh. Thought that was an easy DP ball
Dang, not a bad pitch at all. Ohtani just reached out a got it...
Jeez, they're getting every weak hit tonight
Ohtani bounces through a double
JFC.
Man - Ohtani off balance still able to get the double. Pretty good piece of hitting there.
How did he get to 2nd. That seemed like the real problem there
And just like that about to be losing again
You've got to be ****ing kidding me
Ugh. Way to blow the lead immediately
And another hit off an Astro glove. That one was roped but another near out that would've been a DP

WIth the shift, it was.
That ball should've been caught
Hunter Brown with back to back rough starts
Was that 99, 99, 99 from HB there?

Angry Hunter
Yep, Mad Hunter!
Pissed Hunter Brown is throwing darts
Sucks we keep running into the 2015 Royals on this road trip.
Curious, are you watching or just following here? I don't see this as a rough start at all... pretty unfortunate imo and maybe not elite but that's not the same as roughstoneca said:

I don't know I would call this a rough start. Two infield singles on weak contact. A weak contact double.
Sometimes baseball does that to you.
Ouch.
Loving me some pissed off HB
Trying to explain the DH and Alex tonight to my bride and wanted to know when it went into affect so I looked it up. Is this right? 2022 in the NL, that's just last year.
"The rule was adopted by the American League in 1973, while pitchers continued to hit in games played at National League parks. The designated hitter was adopted by the National League as part of the 2022-26 collective bargaining agreement."

All about sequencing

This is the shift ban effect to me. We've done this a couple of times too.
Yes

It'll happen eventually. He's a rookie still learning.
But so far this isn't it.
I still hate the shift ban. I wonder if a pitcher like Brown, who basically has pitched his entire professional career with the shift, has a harder time adjusting to it.
2023 Rendon is looking like 2019 Rendon.
Maybe getting a slap on the hand for being a d-bag to a fan focused himFarmer1906 said:
