MSP430F5529: I2C not working with Energia

Part Number: MSP430F5529
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ENERGIA

Feels like this should be a pretty easy problem to solve but it's giving me a headache. 

I have an MSP430F5529 launchpad with 7.5kohm resistors being used as pullups from 3V3. When I run the code and connect SDA and SCL directly to an oscilloscope, both SDA and SCL are held high.

I already found out that Wire.endTransmission() causes a hold up in the code so I commented it out. Also, when I leave in all the serial.print commands I can see based on the monitor that it is looping through the loop().

#include <Wire.h>

byte idle = 0x00; // Tidle min = 4 clk pulses but can be longer

byte Start =  0x05;
byte TIDhigh =  0x02;
byte TIDlow = 0x03;
byte CNTL =  0x7D;
byte CPTY =  1;
byte D1;
byte D2;

void setup() {
  
  Serial.begin(9600);           // start serial for output
  delay(100);
  Wire.begin();

}

void loop() {

  DataFormation();

/*
  Serial.print("D1: ");
  Serial.print(D1, HEX);
  Serial.print("\n");

  Serial.print("Start: ");
  Serial.print(Start, HEX);
  Serial.print("\n");

  Serial.print("TID: ");
  Serial.print(TIDlow, HEX);
  Serial.print("\n");

  Serial.print("CNTL: ");
  Serial.print(CNTL, HEX);
  Serial.print("\n");
*/
  
  Wire.beginTransmission(0x03);
  Wire.write(Start);
  //Wire.endTransmission();
  
}

void DataFormation(void) {

  byte temp;
  
  D1 = Start;
  temp = (D1 << 3) | TIDlow;
  D1 = (temp << 2) | (CNTL >> 6);

  
}
