He made several shockingly bad calls, including at least five of Dylan Bundy's pitches in the first three innings. All of them were in the strike zone, but Timmons called each one a "ball".
One of them came in the top of the third, when Bundy threw an inning-ending called strike three to Brock Holt, but Timmons had no clue. You could just about hear NESN's Dennis Eckersley shaking his head in disapproval as he said, "Tim, Tim, Tim ..."
Timmons's incompetence could have led to more runs for the Red Sox as Holt eventually walked. But Bundy got the next batter to foul out, so Timmons's error "only" cost Bundy an extra eight pitches.
