Umpire grants Juan Soto timeout and Jesus Luzardo throws the pitch anyway, a breakdown

called. Soto with the between the legs toss. And Lozardo thinking, bad start. I don't like that.

I'd like to get that as a strike. Hopefully nothing else happens the rest of this at-bat

to make me upset. The next pitch is a ball called correctly. Soto with a little bit of the limbo and

backpedal laughs it off. Okay. 2-0. First inning. Dead red. Fastball. Got to give it to him. And

he does. And it's 98 center cut taken for a strike. Nice. So we've got one missed.

Two called correctly. Lozardo's back in it. He's feeling good. The glove is up. And then time,

but no time is called. He's pitching. Now time's called. What happened? Lozardo's not happy about

it. He's going to let him know. He says, you can't call time after that. Oh, you had stopped.

I did not stop. Come on. I thought you stopped. No. Lozardo's not happy about it. Manager's going

to come out. He's going to say, are we all right? Are we all right? Yeah. Lozardo's like, no,

I'm pretty upset. He says, all right, but we're all right. Okay. Okay. It's a rookie umpire. He

made his debut in June. He's got, maybe this is his ninth game or something like that.

This is what happened. It's somewhat bizarre because yeah, it stinks. I mean, Soto asked for

time after he starts his motion. Soto asked for time. Lozardo's still looking. He sees this play

out. Look at his eyes. He sees the umpire does not grant time. So he's thinking, okay, so to call,

umpire didn't grant time so I can pitch. So he starts pitching. Real Muto's not ready.

Lozardo's in his windup and then the ump calls time as he rears back. Now Soto stepped out of

the batter's box. So that should be a pitch clock violation. So this should be an automatic strike

because a pitch clock violation, once you're set, you can't step out of the batter's box without

time being granted. And the umpire should not have called time so late, but real Muto kind of

maybe he faked the umpire out by, by thinking time was called because Soto walked away and then

it's all, you know, it ends up being a ball, but he's probably pretty distracted while throwing

that. He says, Hey, you know, I think he's saying, what are you talking about? He called time and you

didn't say time. You know, you got to call time then you can't call it after that. And the umpire

must've said something like you stopped because it says I did not stop. And then the umpire walks

back and his part looks good. This was the at bat before this is in case you don't watch a lot of

baseball. This is what it looks like. Usually.

Lindor calls time, stays in the box and the umpire responds immediately and grants him time,

time, time, little spirit fingers on the time there, time, time. Then they all step out together.

That's what it's supposed to look like. That's not what it looked like. And I think the umpire

realizes, Oh boy, might've botched that one kind of got overrun with confusion. So Soto steps back

in two and one, let's make this right. Just call a good at bat. Oh, that is registered.

As a strike everywhere. Again, real Muto's not really presenting that as a strike.

Doesn't try to frame it at all. Like you see a lot of catchers try to bring that up. He doesn't,

but according to all pitch tracking metrics and places, that was a strike three, one pitch.

That's a strike swung through 98 dead red. Do it again. A hundred miles per hour foul back.

And then the three, two who perfect pitch spoiled by Soto. Let's do it again. Another fastball.

In the zone called ball four. And that again, every pitch tracking place registers that as a

strike. It's not called a strike. So three pitches incorrectly called a incorrect timeout granted

and a pitch clock violation, not called five things. If you want to count it that way,

go against Lizardo in that bat might be one of the more unbalanced toppers saying we're not.

All right. It wasn't good later in the inning.

There's this pitch, which again, all of the metrics have as a strike, but it doesn't look

like a strike to me, but they have it. And then that pitch, which could be high in a way, but again,

everywhere says that, no, that's a strike that's over the plate and at the right level. And that's

in the third, but Lizardo enough happened in the first inning where he's, you know, for rest of the

game thinking this sucks. Now the tying runs on third, the go ahead run is on second bottom of

the fifth Marte's up in this at bat. We're not going to get any pitches called incorrectly,

but you're going to get close pitches.

But Lizardo wants, cause he still feels he's owed or he's just frustrated. We get to the two,

two and they want that one. You can see their shoulders droop. Like really? Come on. That

would have been huge. You couldn't give it to me. You botched so many rumors. Like you don't have

that. He's like, no. And it's called correctly. It's inside just a sliver inside, but inside.

And then the next pitch three and two, again, looking for the strikeout. They try to go up

and in. They want that one. It's not called. Lizardo is pissed.

He's going to be taken out of the game. Topper is going to come grab him. And he's like this.

I was doomed from the start. Had to throw 15 extra pitches in the first inning.

I could have gone deeper into this game. Gets taken out. Says, Hey, wake the fuck up.

Wake the fuck up. This isn't the minor leagues. And he's like, Whoa, get out of here, dude.

That's rude. Oh, wake the fuck up. Empire just shakes his head, dude. I know it's not the minor

leagues, man. I was like pumped to get the call. It's wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,

I called my dad. I called my family. I let them know I'm a big league umpire. Now they're proud of

me. Jeez. That's a rude thing to say. Get out of here. Thank you very much to DraftKings for

sponsoring this breakdown. Thank you to you guys for watching it. Appreciate you. Appreciate me.

Appreciate all that we can be together in harmony.
