You argue balls and strikes and you’re likely to get tossed.

It’s understandable, though, that Javy Báez got heated after he was rung up on this incredibly questionable third strike call and eventually tossed in the fifth inning.

Andy Dirks also said it best in the post-game. Javy was swinging and missing at these balls out of the zone earlier in the game and was essentially punished after adjusting later on.

Either way, the Tigers went on to beat the Giants 3-1 to take Game 1.
