Such an intense game, wish Freddie could have found a hole with that last at-bat. Still nice to see Chapman fall apart, and to not let the game get away after all those calls.
The Joc hit by pitch has to be one of the strangest things I've ever seen. He'd barely started his swing when the ball hit him in the hand. Announcers were trying to figure out if it was a foul tip or if it hit him, everyone reacted like it was a dead ball, then the umpire's making the out sign. At first it looked like the umpire was arguing with Joc saying it didn't hit him, then said he swung at it before it hit him, then he tossed him after a weird delay. Same umpire seemed to really enjoy calling Freddie out at home, punching out Albies on a ball outside that he wouldn't give our pitchers all night, etc. Really awful job all night by that ump.
The Joc play was strange. It had to either be a HBP or foul ball, right? The catcher didn't catch the ball or field it in play and throw to first. I'm not sure how it results in an out.
