I’m more frustrated with how much the zone expanded in the 8th and 9th for the Ags.

Closer painted some and then the ump gave him some generous calls that had our guys chasing.

He was touching 96 pretty consistently which is 2ish more than his average. But I’d bet that was because he was closing versus starting.

Until we see spin rate comparisons when he was “hit” versus last night I don’t think we’ll ever know

The 5th strikeout was definitely Ump aided. Strike 2 in particular was marginal at best on the bottom corner after an 84 mph change and it clearly threw off Laviolette (I think it was)

Strikeout to end it was also a close pitch at the top of the zone

He touched 96 twice, both were outside pitches
