Lynn is on pace for a 222 pitch shutout.
Tuning in late, why was Lynn tossed again?
Speculation from the booth: He beat the umps to the dugout and left his hat and glove on the rail for them to check. They must have told him they wanted the belt too, so he threw it out of the dugout onto the field. Ump tossed him immediately
Well…this is idiotic. The whole thing. How’s this a baseball thing?
I think this means he’s suspendered,
????
Bummer starting the 8th vs three straight right handed hitters. That makes sense.
That worked out well.
And instead of Kimbrel in the 9th, it’s Liam to attempt a 5 out save. Making no use of Kimbrel in either inning.
Day game tomorrow. Saving Kimbrel for that.
I’ll concede that. And great outing for Liam. Why he had to come in with 2 guys on rather than start the 8th with right handed hitters coming up is douchebag bullpen management though.
Magic number 32
