White Sox Slugger Eloy Jimenez Had One of the Funniest Strikeouts of the MLB Season
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Steven Matz got one of the easiest strikeouts of his career Sunday when he got Chicago White Sox slugger Eloy Jimenez looking at a called third strike.
Well, Jimenez wasn’t really looking at the pitch—he was too busy walking back to the dugout after not being granted a timeout by home plate umpire Alfonso Marquez.
Chicago’s designated hitter wanted a quick break after falling behind in the count, 0-2, but he appeared to call time just a little too late. This was a bizarre scene, as Jimenez just basically gave up and walked away.
