“This is a situation where you need a punchout right here.”
That’s J.P. Arencibia, color commentator on the Aug. 11 FOX Sports Florida television broadcast. In the bottom of the sixth inning, the Blue Jays have runners on second and third with one out. The Marlins are clinging to a 1-0 lead behind the excellence of right-hander Elieser Hernandez, but he is beginning a treacherous third pass through the Toronto lineup. Star shortstop Bo Bichette is at the plate.
Ahead in the count 0-2, catcher Francisco Cervelli wants Hernandez to overpower Bichette.
