Texas Tech Series

Schuessler hits a seeing eye single between the 1st and 2nd basemen but Belyeu with his speed makes it over to 3rd. Runners on the corners, 2 outs. O'Dowd at the plate. Mound visit.
 
I wud say this plate ump has a small but inconsistent strike zone.

Every pitch to the outside of a right handed batter is inconsistent, I've said it before but it's common, for whatever reason, Umps that set up on the inside guess on that outside location and why they are so inconsistent.
 
Catchers head is in the way, no possible way they can ACTUALLY see the pitch location in relation to the strike zone.
 
geez, it would have been fun to do it back to Tech but it didn't work. Belyeu gets caught trying to steal home. To the bottom of the 8th.
 
Gage back on for his 3rd inning of work, a fly ball to just past 1st base and for whatever reason Thomas makes a swipe at the ball with Belyeu and O'Dowd standing right next to him but can't make the catch.

The runner keeps going, trying to make it to 2nd, Thomas sees it and throws a laser to get him at 2nd on the tag. Being reviewed, call was out.
 
Hmmmm.....ph for O'Dowd, ground ball back to the pitcher for out 1.

Gasparino bunts to the left side for out 2.
