Owens actually got screwed on that last walk, at least two of those pitches were on the plate. Still a lot of Owens balls haven't even been close to the zone tonight.

Any of those 4 pitches against Tex could have been called a strike. This occurred to me as well. Owens has been somewhat wild, but he's also not getting calls when he does hit the zone. |

Has Owens thrown a pitch over 80mph tonight?

That's the worst part actually: He starting to get a reputation among MLB umpires for being wild so even close calls will not go his way.
Brian Johnson please!

I underlined the cause and bolded the effect. While I agree, it shouldn't be that way. A ball should be a ball and a strike should be a strike, regardless of who is throwing. Also, Papi is moving pretty well this year, relatively speaking. |

They don't count the strikeout/throwout as a DP, so he actually has 5 of them in this game.

OK, 2 Rs in 5 IP; good job Henry, but that's a night; very lucky it wasn't worse; 3rd time thru, all changeups and curves at this point

He didn't get lucky on that one: A bunch of weak contact singles clustered together but yeah, Henry Owens is no MLB pitcher.

Hanley is going deep tonight, I just hope he'll have runners on.

If you had to script it, a pen game would fit the script this year.
