Game 3 of 162 @NjTank99 https://t.co/aE66irBkIT
Even the batter thought he struck out. Bad call. Luckily @Braves rallied but this ultimately knocked Fried out in 1st inning.....#BeBetter https://t.co/WwfH3aVjnw
Max Fried's pitch was right down the middle... It was called a ball. 😬🤦♂️ (🎥: @MLBONFOX) https://t.co/EoxmuthZbf
MLB fans were furious after Max Fried’s clear strike was called a ball during Braves-Phillies https://t.co/mts0JOMqXJ https://t.co/V4ee1ZC1Eq
This was called a ball from Max Fried 🧐 https://t.co/ELlzDll75D
Thoughts on this pitch being called a ball? Max Fried would have been out of a bases loaded jam https://t.co/cUp0B8jyl8
Sure looks like strike 3, end of the inning… but Bruce Dreckman calls this a ball. Phillies go on to score 3 runs and chase Max Fried from the game. https://t.co/exkwLQWMgx
This pitch was called a ball. Max Fried would've escaped the jam... instead he doesn't escape the first https://t.co/cg5WbZ6mYf
Bryson Stott with a two-run single for the Phillies lead! Max Fried didn't make it out of the first https://t.co/KyiQBB5I2y
2-2 count “Ball 3” @StoolBaseball https://t.co/l96lwAGa9D
A wild first inning, and isn't even finished: Albies two-run homer, Harper cartwheels into camera well, Schwarber-Harper double steal, Castellanos walks with bases loaded after 2-2 pitch down middle is called a ball, Stott singles to score two, Fried finished after 43 pitches.
Here is the 2-2 pitch that preceded the Castellanos bases-loaded walk. Fried would have escaped the inning unscathed. Now he exits having recorded just two outs and with the Phillies leading 3-2 in the first. https://t.co/UEPVxElp6s
Ump just called this ball three, it would have ended the inning. Instead, a run scores one pitch later with a Castellanos walk. https://t.co/fkZl5kideQ
2-2 fastball to Castellanos was thrown middle-middle. Called Ball 3. Then Fried walked him, to force in a run. Fried at 38 pitches in the first inning.
2-2 count. This was called a ball. 🧐 https://t.co/315rfgUohu
Fried's third walk of the first inning is a bases-loaded walk to Castellanos to bring in a run, cuts #Braves lead to 2-1
That was Kyle Schwarber's first stolen base since Game 1 of the 2022 World Series.
The last two years, Max Fried has allowed 7 steals in 13 attempts. Kyle Schwarber did not steal a base last year. First inning today: A Schwarber/Bryce Harper double-steal against Fried.
Schwarber with a steal of third?? The double steal.
The Mets are down 3-0 after the 1st inning. 160 games to go after today @NjTank99 https://t.co/O604a2Hkv3
