Rangers & Angels Get INTO IT After Mike Trout & Zach Neto Hit by Pitches BACK-TO-BACK
Transcript
00:00I feel he's going to get a sweeper here now.
00:07One ball, two strikes.
00:08Neto trying to knock in an insurance run.
00:10It's Marcada at third, or rather, Comparo at third.
00:16Neto gets hit again, second time tonight.
00:21Third time.
00:23The Rangers have hit a batter in this game, plus the seven walks.
00:27He's right on the plate, and he doesn't give up.
00:30That inside part of the plate, too.
00:33Get some rate on that padding in the elbow area.
00:38You can see where he's at, how close he is to the plate.
00:41He's now been hit by nine pitches this year.
00:44That's tied with Joe Adele for the most on the team.
00:49So here's Trout.
00:51Base hit and a walk tonight.
01:00He's like one right in there from Armstrong.
01:08Look, they were trying to throw a fastball in and leaked out over the plate.
01:11Oh, he gets hit by a pitch.
01:20That got him on the hand.
01:22Right on the hand.
01:25Ray Montgomery kind of barking toward the mound for a moment.
01:28I thought Armstrong was being intentional without Ray Armstrong, or rather Ray Montgomery.
01:34Pointing over toward the Ranger dugout.
01:36Bruce Bochy wants to come out.
01:39And now some of the others are coming out as well.
01:41So the bench is clear in this scenario.
01:45After back-to-back Angels were hit by pitches.
01:48That's four times tonight.
01:50And Ray Montgomery is heated.
01:53I mean, especially when you have back-to-back.
01:55If you can't pitch inside, the old saying is you don't pitch inside.
01:57And the Angels and Rangers kind of gather around the umpires.
02:04Nobody really shouting back at Ray.
02:07One guy's not coming out of the bullpen.
02:09That would be the guy you would almost want to come out of the bullpen.
02:11That would be Stanley Jansen.
02:13Yeah, the bullpen's really unnecessarily running in,
02:16as this thing's already dispersing before the bullpen's even got there.
02:24Both teams took the field.
02:26Although, really, the only one that had much to say there
02:29was the interim manager himself, Ray Montgomery.
02:32He's protected Mike Trout and, obviously, Zach Neto, too.
02:37And that's four hit-by-pitches in one game.
02:41He runs it in there.
02:42He's throwing the ball inside, which, in that spot there,
02:45you're trying to keep the batter away from getting, you know,
02:48getting that barrel on the bat, but right on the hand again.
02:50And it's not that Renhifo got hit on the hand-wrist area, too.
02:59I mean, that's a dangerous spot.
03:01And it's not that the Angels think that any of this is intentional,
03:03but it's really just saying, you know, figure it out.
03:07You're not going to be able to control
03:08the inside part of the plate, then don't go in there.
03:11This might take a while for the bullpens,
03:27the guys to get back out to the bullpen.
03:29Why'd they even come out?
03:31Silly.
03:32By the time they came out, it was already over.
03:37Angels have never had a game in franchise history
03:39where they've been hit five times.
03:42Could happen here.
03:43They've been hit four, which ties the franchise mark.
03:48Olin Shalowell has two walks, and he's been robbed of...
