 Peter Lanzo steps to the plate, bottom of the first inning. He's got runners on the corners. He digs in. He looks up at Jordan Hicks and says, fastballs, let's do it. This one is brought to you by DraftKings. First pitch of the at bat, fastball inside, fouled away. Next pitch, fastball. And here's some stats. Peter Lanzo crushes fastballs, has for his whole career, 555 slugging percentage career against fastballs. But here's the caveat. Fastballs up and in. He's never had a hit his entire career on a fastball up and in. Zero hits, 19 foul balls, six put in play, three called strikes. It's not just him though. The whole league kind of sucks at hitting 95 plus fastballs up and in from a pitcher who throws from the same side of the plate as you. Look at that, 5% for a hit. It's the perfect pitch. If you can throw that hard and Jordan Hicks can throw that hard. He throws really hard. He's never given up a hit on an inside fastball this season. So it's the perfect plan to do against a Lanzo. And if you see a guy crush a 95 plus up and in fastball, make sure you understand how hard and rare that is. So here comes the next one. And it is a little too high. A little too inside. Needs to go back to the tongue and bounce that thing a little and get some more grip. Little, little, little, puts his saliva on his finger. Yachty calls for the fastball. Let's see if it helps him locate it. He's gonna try and hit that spot again. Way too high an inside 101 miles per hour. That's scary. And the umpire says, that hits you Pete. You may take first base. And Pete says, all right. If you say so, sounds good to me. St. Louis is on the phone. The challenge, yep, challenge that. I don't think it hit him. That's what he gets told. So he goes and tells the head coach who looks around and says, all right, hey, who do I, where's the, where, we're gonna challenge that. And let's see, what do you guys think? Did that hit his hand or the bat? What do you think it hit? Here it is in slower motion. And looks like the bat knob to me. Looks like it hit the bat now. Both broadcast agreed that it hit the bat knob here. It is black and white, super slow, super close. This umpire, they hear something. They look at each other and they're like, oh, oh, oh. After review, the call stands. Fucking kidding me. They can't believe it. They watching the same replay we watch. Bullshit. Unreal. Peter Lanzo, he's sad. Look how sad he is. This is a guy who's saying, don't make me part of your lie. I'm not, oh, now I gotta go act like it hit me. Cause you guys got it wrong. Jordan Hicks smiling about it. And then I think the umpire, he asked for the ball and I think the umpire throws it. And he just looked up, he's smiling, smiling. I think the umpire, smiling, smiling. I'm surprised it's him with the ball. And then just like, okay, well, all right. Not joking with you anymore. Cardinals manager still can't believe it. Gotta be fucking kidding me. It's fucking bullshit. Unreal. What do you think? Did it hit him? Did it clip his hand? If you didn't know what they called it on the field and this was the only evidence you had, which is what I say should happen. They should not take the weight of the call on the field. They should just tell you what the replay says. I think you'd say that hit bat and not his hand. Oh, I think that hit knob. Surprised they didn't overturn that one. As was the Mets booth. They were shocked as well. It led to some first inning runs for the Mets and some pissed off Cardinals players. And it was brought to you by DraftKings. Thanks for sponsoring the breakdown.
