Heterochromia

Heterochromia is the presence of different colored eyes in the same person. Heterochromia in humans appears either as a hereditary trait unassociated with other disease, as a symptom of various syndromes or as the result of a trauma.

[Dave Borton]

How would you like to be playing 1B, using that old worn out mitt you have in the garage, and have one of Correa's 96mph coming at you.  

[junior8791]

Thanks  for the update, B somebody  needs to tell me  on losing the first half AAA on a extra loss? I get it, a rain out, you shouldn't be penalties  for that

I remember learning about heterochromia from the X-Men First Class movie from like 15 years ago lol

Eddie got jobbed there.

Kwan ties it up 2 out  bottom 9

I'll be so happy when umps aren't calling balls and strikes anymore

[Nine of twelve]

TB/Cle heads to the 10th. 5-5.

[Linus]

Swing the fing bat. We all know that borderline pitches can be called strikes. Julien has a chance to do real damage at a critical part of the game and puts it in the umpires hands.

I feel like we will be scoreboard watching every night for the next month

[tony&rodney]

For whatever reason Julien has a bad rep with umpires. We have talked about this before. He lets balls go by and swings at strikes. Forget the box, those three pitches were not strikes and the umpire just called him out. Should he swing at balls out of the zone or expand his zone with two strikes? He doesn't hit those pitches out of the zone but perhaps he needs to work on fouling a few off.

Guys like Ted Williams, Wade Boggs, etc almost always got the benefit of the doubt on borderline pitches.  They convinced umpires they knew the strike zone.  Young guys, some times have difficulties breaking away from a negative reputation of knowing the zone.

It's gotta be super frustrating for a young hitter who has a good idea of what the strike zone is to be constantly rang up on balls outside of the zone.
