Jose Ramirez is really, really good at baseball.
But as we noted a full year ago, Seattle Mariners pitcher Matt Brash is all sorts of filthy on the mound.
And the result of Brash vs. Ramirez went to the pitcher in a big way on Opening Day.
As the Mariners were on their way to beating the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday, Brash reared back on an 0-2 pitch to Ramirez and threw this twisting, dying-duck of a pitch that landed near the slugger’s back foot. Ramirez swung and missed … and fell down. Hard. It’s the equivalent of an NBA ankle-breaker.
