I'm still thinking about the gravity of that missed swing call that led to the Rays scoring three in the 7th. Am I correct in believing that had it been called a swing, which it was, the inning would've been over?

[u/EconIsCool → u/IvyGold]

No, because he struck out looking on a pitch out of the zone soon after, that he refused to challenge because thats the way Yandy is. Had zero impact on the game.

[u/Important-Net-9805 → u/EconIsCool]

i heard them say he's not challenged a pitch once. thats wild lol

[u/ConfidentGarden7514 → u/Important-Net-9805]

Not once, and he never will. He says he just wants to stick to his process at the plate… whatever that means!
