The 2nd pitch on the last walk wasn’t a borderline pitch- it wasn’t even close to a strike. The graphic shows it catching the bottom of the zone.

See, I look at the graphic and think it pretty clearly shows that pitch as a ball.

I clearly should have just posted the first batter since apparently it’s tripping everyone up. I don’t think Floyd really got hosed on the next two batters though I did think some of them were very close and he was getting squeezed. But the first walk was egregious.
