and he takes the first pitch down the right field line towards the corner. It is a foul ball. Carrie Carpenter was giving chase hoping that that would land foul and that was the case according to Nate Tomlinson the right field umpire in his major league debut for the postseason. Just foul but that’s what Cal Raleigh has done all year. He hasn’t missed pitches that are in the strike zone and he can do damage on. That’s how you hit 60 home runs. Every there’s not a a number you can look at for Cal Raleigh and power that doesn’t amaze you. Where he hits them, when he hits him, left-handed, right-handed, guys on, nobody on. He has done it all. Melton home with an 01. Waved on and missed. Raleigh a switchhitting catcher with a historic 60 home run season. broke record set by Sal Perez for home runs by a catcher by Mickey Manel’s record for home runs by a switch hitter and the most home runs by a Seattle Mariner in a single season.

Randy get on there is just that complicates things so much for them. Two pitch right center field towards the gap. Meadows will not get there. A Rose Arena turns on the Jets and he’ll go first to third. The throw is late. Really nice base running by Randy Rosarena. Two split. Cal Raleigh gets dumps it into right field. Probably not even maybe not even a strike. Randy Rosarena on first. reads this beautifully as soon as he sees this down. When you have a right-handed throwing outfielder going to his left, it makes it an easy read for somebody with any kind of speed because they’re not going to do the spin.

Finnegan against Raleigh in a tie game in the eighth. And there’s a strike with the splitter. At no point in time are you giving Cal Raleigh anything on the plate to hit right here. Unless it’s an absolute mistake. He’s going to see all splits. And he’s pretty much seen all off speed this entire game. So you see where Dingler set up. He’s set up off the plate away.
