Pitcher can’t hit target, strikes out batter on intentional walk

GFL Wire - Middle relief pitcher George Stanley was trying to get around pitching to right-hander Sam Federico when it all went bad. The first pitch hit the inside corner of the plate and the second was right through the heart of it.

Federico was confused when catcher Rob Lattimore had to jump back from outside of the box to prevent a “wild pitch” which, again, was strike three.

Manager Julio Ortega said, "Yeah, this is a little - no, a lot - embarrassing. I don't even know who Stanley is. That's how much control I have over my team, folks. We're ridiculous. You got a problem - call the front office."

Pitcher Stanley didn't agree. “I know I struck 'em out, but man, I’d give anything for another shot at that walk.”
