Last night, the New York Mets tagged Tyler Rogers for 7 runnings in the 8th inning. They slapped 6 singles before Francisco Lindor tripled down the third base line. The only two balls in the air were two line drives to start the inning.
It was a nightmare inning for Rogers. The kind of outing that makes a pitcher reconsider their life choices, a torturous drip of weak contact and seeing-eye singles and pokes against the shift and defensive shortcomings.
No pitcher deserves to turn around and see this Dom Smith grounder find the outfield.
