Did see the two LL .gif's in the comments thread.  Nice job LL posters.
.......
Seager jumps back out of the way of inside pitches, including strikes ... when catchers (including Zunino) move the ball a bit, people argue whether this is unfairly "pulling the pitch" or simply "presenting a strike as a strike" ...
Playing devil's advocate, having seen the .gif, I would say Punto was "trying to present a ball as a ball" and that pitch was a 50-50 call .... maybe 60-40 Rodney ... in any case the M's are operating at a big deficit on 50-50 strike calls :- )
