 There's the set, the kick, and the 0-1 in the dirt. Boy, Contreras has had a workout of this inning blocking balls. Might be interesting hitting conditions. The home plate area, the pitcher's mound in the shade, although the sun is not fully out right now. Might be a little more when the sun is out from behind the clouds that the batter's eye is lit up and the hitter in the shade. One ball, one strike. The pitch to Thomas. Up and outside, 2-1.
