FT Leadoff
Ump Show Week, White Sox FAIL, Ohtani's Cruise Missile, IL Hits

Another day, another horrible call.
Michael Harris II fouled this two-strike pitch into the dirt, but the home plate umpire declared him out.

At this point, it’s getting ridiculous.
Despite being victimized by a bad call earlier in the game, Michael Harris was able to right the umpire’s wrong by walking it off in extras last night.
The same cannot be said for Jo Adell, who was wrongfully called out to end the game, much to the displeasure of the Angels broadcast.
The Orioles won the game after replay review confirmed Jo Adell was caught stealing.
Thoughts on this call? 🤔

Of course, we’ll be discussing this today on FT Live, just as we did with Aaron Boone getting ejected because of something a fan said on Monday.
No team in Major League history has been shutout more times through 22 games than the Chicago White Sox, who were blanked for the eighth time this season tonight.

The Chicago White Sox are STRUGGLING.
Sure, they were projected to finish in the AL Central’s basement, but with a record of 3-21, who knew things would be this bad?
With their fans anticipating an overhaul, could Foul Territory’s own A.J. Pierzynski be part of the change?
450 FEET FROM SHOHEI!

On the positive side of history, Shohei Ohtani continues to break records.
Ohtani’s 9th-inning bomb against the Nationals on Tuesday measured 450-feet with an exit velocity of 118.7 MPH, according to Statcast.
Not only was it was the hardest hit homer of his career, it was also the hardest homer EVER hit by a Dodger in Statcast history.
Fast forward to yesterday, and Ohtani’s three doubles in a 20-hit win over the Nationals helped propel LA to a series win.
Alanna Rizzo & Clint Pasillas broke down just how important it is that the Dodgers get back on track in the latest installment of Dodgers Territory!
Cody Bellinger is headed to the IL with a fractured rib, per manager Craig Counsell.

It’s been a ROUGH week for injuries in baseball.
Cody Bellinger and Triston Casas will both miss significant time with fractured ribs.
Blake Snell was placed on the 15-day IL with a left adductor strain.
FT Senior Insider Ken Rosenthal said on Tuesday’s show that he thinks Juan Soto is going to get more money in free agency than Shohei Ohtani.
He also dishes on Jose Abreu’s struggles, the Astros sluggish start, Toronto’s lights-out pitching, and the Mets hot start!
