[HopeSpringsEternal]

Kinda glad Sosa was our third baseman that inning!

[LoneStarPhan]

Kinda glad Sosa was our third baseman that inning!

He made a nice play to get the out at home and prevent a run.

LHP Tyler Holton in for the Tigers.

[kikutaro]

Brandon Marsh

Pitching Change: Tyler Holton replaces Charlie Morton.
Ball (82.5 mph sweeper)
In play, out(s) (92.3 mph sinker)

Brandon Marsh lines out to second baseman Gleyber Torres.

[LoneStarPhan]

Marsh smoked that one but just too close to a fielder.

[kikutaro]

Harrison Bader

Offensive Substitution: Pinch-hitter Harrison Bader replaces Max Kepler.
Called strike (93.3 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (80.9 mph curveball)
In play, out(s) (84.4 mph changeup)

Harrison Bader grounds out, third baseman Andy Ibáñez to first baseman Spencer Torkelson.

[zambonir]

Statcast guys say Bader shortened up his stance by 9 inches this year, which has led to the quicker bat speed.

That time he needed more bat speed or more foot speed.

[kikutaro]

Edmundo Sosa

Called strike (88.9 mph cutter)
Ball (93.1 mph four-seam fastball)
Foul (88.1 mph cutter)
In play, out(s) (93.7 mph four-seam fastball)

Edmundo Sosa lines out sharply to left fielder Riley Greene.

[LoneStarPhan]

Another fine defensive play robs Sosa of a hit, likely extra bases.

[JaxBill]

Question- on the Sosa throw home, if that throw hits the runner, would he be out for being out of baseline? He was way into fair territory. Or is that part of "finding a lane"?

[EastFallowfield]

Depends on the whims of the umps
