His improved patience is an encouraging sign for a player who has always struggled to control the strike zone. 389 - 103 percentage points higher than his 2021 mark. The story could have been about García, who walked twice more Monday and singled in two other plate appearances to boost his on-base percentage for the young season to. But those paled in comparison to the eruption when he waylaid a no-doubt home run into the right-field stands in the ninth inning. He received one of the louder ovations during the pregame introductions, and another when he was announced as the pinch hitter. Calhoun has faced his fair share of setbacks, from demotions to injuries, to be here and has hit the ball hard thus far this season, only to have each ball find a glove. The story could have been about Willie Calhoun’s ninth-inning pinch-hit home run to tie the score at 4-3. Robyn: Well, I’m happy you feel that way. So, as a big brother, that means a lot to me. And I don’t think you really know, despite the results - I don’t really care if I won the game or we lost or whatever - I was just more happy to see you, that you’re here. Gymnastics, all that type of stuff, cheerleading, just for me to get to this situation. Seriously, I know you went without a lot. You sacrificed a lot just for me to be in this (place). But honestly, to have a very supportive sister like you means a lot. And definitely, definitely don’t doubt God, for sure.įor me to tell you that (I would be) sitting here, three years ago, after 2019? I wouldn’t be able to believe it. Just trying to be the best example, and hopefully be able to let you know that no matter what you go through, not to waver off your faith.
And try to do the best I can, even though I’m gonna fail. Taylor: I guess it’s being a big brother, to try to set the best example for you. So you were able to bounce back pretty well through the second and the fourth - was the mentality different? Was there somebody in the stands or in the press box that you were itching to kind of do well for because, you know, their job is on the line depending on what you say today?
After the game, his sister, Robyn Hearn - sports director at Channel 6 in Wichita Falls - was among the assembled media asking questions of the day’s starter, which led to this exchange: He allowed a fair amount of traffic on the bases (eight hits and one walk in four innings), but he also squirmed out of peril and struck out six en route to allowing just one run. Now here he was, with around 25 family members in the stands, having earned the start in the home opener. The native of Royse City, Texas, once sat on a career ERA of 108.00 for 16 months after being injured in a disastrous big-league debut in Seattle. The story could have been about Taylor Hearn. Here’s the review call, Chris Woodward’s reaction and the replay of the slide /BFPF6U76bR The game was over on a technicality, and the Rockies won 6-4. The tying run was at second base with Nathaniel Lowe coming to the plate.Īnd then, after a New York replay review of Rule 6.01(j), it was ruled that Garver had improperly slid into second base. But the throw was late and errant - Semien scored to make the game 6-5, and García advanced to second base on the play. Ryan McMahon zipped the ball to Brendan Rodgers at second base for the second out of the inning, and Rodgers attempted to end the game by completing the double play. Adolis García hit a hard groundball to third base and began his race against baseball’s natural clock. Marcus Semien was the “ghost runner” at second base, and with one out Mitch Garver had drawn a walk, putting the tying run on base. The situation, as it unfolded, was this: The Rangers were down 6-4 in the bottom of the 10th inning. It’s never a good thing when a rule number makes it into the lede. … A slide shall not be a “bona fide slide” if a runner engages in a “roll block,” or intentionally initiates (or attempts to initiate) contact with the fielder by elevating and kicking his leg above the fielder’s knee or throwing his arm or his upper body.”
Instead, as the Arlington faithful filed out of the gates after the home opener, the primary topic of conversation was Rule 6.01(j): “ If a runner does not engage in a bona fide slide, and initiates (or attempts to make) contact with the fielder for the purpose of breaking up a double play, he should be called for interference under this Rule 6.01. The day should have been about several other stories.
