The Baty ball did twist pretty unusually:

It was but good job keeping it tied after the passed ball put the winning run on second with no one out.
This was a really weird ball live. Looked from my POV, just behind home, slightly first base side that I thought it was going to be a routine foul ball to the section above where I was sitting.
Mets fans all around me were stating that heads needed to roll and calling for Buck’shead. Absolutely brutal. I felt like Bart Simpson trying tomacco for the first time watching that whole game unfold from the 8th on: Disgusting game but addicting.
Top of the first, Steven Kwan goes deep – just his 3rd of the year. Bottom of the first, Marcus Semien hits one deep and Kwan reaches over the wall... but needed one more inch of glove to keep it in the webbing... tied 1-1.
Rojas is impressive. He is capable of great plays. I saw him rob Marcelo Mayer of a HR in Portland last month:

Giants come out of the break hot and sweep Pittsburgh. That’s going to be an interesting team to watch before the deadline.
Although the Pirates have been as bad as anyone since their hot start. They started 20-8 and are just 21-44 since.
The Rangers turned a 3-6 double-play on a foul ball because plays in front of the bag aren't reviewable. Stop $%*@ing this up MLB... why aren't you interested in getting every batted ball called correctly?
I gotta be honest, something just seems off about Globe Life Field. I know why they left the old barn, but it had a character to it.
But they also had a 95.4% chance of this being a wasted season when Shane Bieber went on the IL and Stephan is just reminding us of that.
The stadium is too dark. It looks like a gloomy warehouse. And the seats behind the plate are far up. The background reminds me of the Metrodome.
I haven't seen a lot of it on TV yet (even this weekend I was spared from watching half the series), but I can't fathom what possessed them to build such an ugly monstrosity. It's dark, dank, looks like a warehouse on steroids and for some reason they can't even get the camera view of the action as close or as low as every other baseball stadium. Of course, it fits in perfectly with the aesthetics of DFW.
I was just there for the 1st time yesterday. I would agree; it gave me cathedral vibes.
Nope. They should pay him whatever he wants. It's the only reason anyone goes to Angel games.
I think they keep him.
