Maybe Joe Panik won’t be fine

You could hear the clock start ticking as soon as Rougned Odor’s booming ninth inning home run landed in McCovey Cove on Friday night. Joe Panik’s error on a Will Smith’s 3-2 pitch to Shin-Soo Choo with two outs in the ninth inning gave the Rangers one last chance, and Odor seized it to tie the game at 6-6.

In the tenth inning, Panik and McCutchen chased a pop-up into shallow right field but neither came up with it. By virtue of being the closest player to the ball, I think it’s safe to assume the majority of fans hung that one on that miscue, too.
