 Breaking ball. Ooh, did that get the knee? No, it got the hand. He had the hand on that right thigh. Ball in the dirt. Vasquez tried to backhand it. It just popped up and got all skin. Ball and one strike to count. So Vasquez will return back behind home plate. It is one of the more unique relationships in sports, the catcher and home plate umpire. 1-1 pitch.
