Good games last night - thought the side view from the first base side of Mike Adams throwing with Nolan Ryan watching over the Rangers dugout was epic. Adams was busy walking the first two batters - while Ryan was busy pulling the remaining hair out of his head.
That pitchout still baffles me - Washington really does have a good idea on what is going on between the lines. Wasn't it something like a nine pitch AB already, and on a 1-2 count, Washington calls a pitchout and Napoli throws Upton out with ease. Completely changed the inning, as Longoria was able to battle back in the count, and draw a walk. Could have been runners on 1st and 2nd with none out. Completely different ball game if Upton isn't tossed out at 2nd.
