8/27/24	An umpire called a historically bad strike while Pirates position player Rowdy Tellez pitched. Maybe home plate umpire Scott Barry just wanted to end the Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates. Or ... he needs to get his vision checked. Those are the only two reasons I can think of for this strike call that has gone very, very viral for all the wrong reasons.

8/26/24	Umpire's Late-Game Strike Call Had MLB Fans Crowning It the Worst of 2024 Season. Umpires are people, too. That was never more evident than during Monday night's clash between the Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates , a game which the Cubs quickly turned on its head, winning 18–8. Things got so bad at PNC Park that the Pirates opted to trot Rowdy Tellez onto the mound to pitch in the ninth inning. Tellez wasn't looking to light up the radar gun, effectively throwing soft toss to Patrick Wisdom, and often missing the zone badly. Home plate umpire Scott Barry looked as if he'd seen enough and was just about ready to call it a night during Wisdom's at-bat against Tellez. Barry called a strike on a pitch so far outside of the zone, just about no one knew how to react. Tellez's Source: https://who13.com/sports/sports-illustrated/1e0202...

7/29/24	Pirates, Paul Skenes to open series with host Astros. Locked in a traffic jam of National League wild-card contenders, the Pittsburgh Pirates averted a three-game series sweep at the hands of the Arizona Diamondbacks and built some momentum before facing the host Houston Astros. Thanks in large part to pinch-hit doubles from Rowdy Tellez and Joey Bart that tied Sunday's game at 2-2 in the ninth inning, the Pirates went on to win 6-5 in 10 innings in Phoenix. The Pirates pulled out all the stops defensively as well, with catcher Yasmani Grandal making a rare appearance at first base and infielder Jared Triolo shifting to the outfield for the first time since he was in college in 2017.

Liberatore allowed five runs on four hits in three innings, walking three and striking out three. Source: https://www.chron.com/sports/article/perez-works-6...

11/17/23	Intriguing Offseason Option With Notable History Vs. Red Sox Hits Market. Sign In The Boston Red Sox made their first offseason trade on Friday while one interesting free agent option hit the market. Rowdy Tellez became a free agent after being non-tendered by the Milwaukee Brewers, according to Robert Murray of FanSided. The 28-year-old wrapped up a two-year run in Milwaukee, hitting .215/.291/.376 with 13 home runs and 47 RBIs in 105 games played. Obviously, the numbers aren't eye-popping, however, it's Tellez's offensive success at Fenway Park that makes the six-year veteran interesting.
