GDT 9/9/24 Tampa Bay Rays (Sulser) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Sánchez, C)

[Patchmk88]

I don’t think you can blame Rojas at all. It would have been an amazing catch.

So here’s an interesting question. If he didn’t try to catch the ball (which he obviously should have) would the ball have gone out?

[slocastro]

I don't think it would have

[billgtrman]

The fence is low there a foot over to the left probably would’ve been a long out. It was very lucky for them. Their PH came thru where ours did not. Another squirrel hit now by Tampa

Josh Lowe singles on a line drive to catcher Garrett Stubbs, deflected by pitcher Carlos Estévez.

[Patchmk88]

It does really bring the Wilson at bat into focus. Such a horrible decision to swing at that pitch when the guy couldn’t find the zone.

[bkox]

Line drive directly off Estevez knee

[billgtrman]

The two PH Lowes got a HR and a infield hit

[slocastro]

Two pinch hitters named Lowe? Makes the scorecard a little more interesting:)
