Chris Segal got off to a rough start in Game Two of the Los Angeles Dodgers-San Diego Padres Series, giving Max Muncie a home chance.
Yo Darwish He is one of the most dominant shooters in baseball when he plays, but he doesn’t get any advantages from home board referee Chris Segal.
Darvish seems to have an unlimited number of pitches in his arsenal, including at least three sliders if you ask Jazz Chisholm. However, when he has to throw four hits in one against an elite hitter like Max Muncy, it’s hard to blame him for a looming foul.
The veteran pitcher delivered what should have been the third hit, and Mansi froze as a result. Instead, the field was called a ball.
So, what happened instead? How about running home Muncy.
The rivalry between Padres and Dodgers has begun to brew
While some Dodgers fans may make you believe that their division affairs with the Padres are not competitive games, some comments from the players involved may make you believe otherwise. Freddy Freeman’s response to Padres’ last hotline before the series seemed a bit conflicting:
“It’s hot, and we’ve been hot for seven months,” Freeman said.
That doesn’t sound like innocent gossip before the start of a comma string.
It should add a back-and-forth streak – with some questionable calls – to the fire.
