Baseball is such a weird sport that these guys have so much time to lock in and figure out the details of the game, and then they do this.

These guys gave up at some point. Lobing pitches like they're pitching to a kid. Then this?

Really gonna lose by 3 touchdowns? Bananas.

I don’t follow baseball but that pitch looked insane. Why would he throw it like that?

They were doing that the whole game.

Lobbing them in like they're tossing for the home run derby. Did you catch the score at the bottom? I wasnt joking. That was a 0-22 game. It's like they took a dive for money.

-Someone who didn't watch the whole game.

They put a position player in at pitcher to not waste their pitchers' arms in a game that was already statistically over.

It was the 3rd baseman. They subbed him in when it was apparent they were going to lose. A pitcher's arm has a lifespan, so why wear out some of your highest paid players to lose. Have a position player pitch and save your pitcher's arms.
