6Ks in three innings against Carrasco. Embarrassing.

Should only be 3-4

[Schmoeman5]

I don't complain too much about balls and strikes. This ump is making it hard. And he's making the hitters swing at balls they might normally take. And the hitters are already struggling with pitches that are in the SZ. Not a good recipe for success. Julien with a nice play. 

[Parfigliano]

WTF ump

Our offense gets zero sympathy from me on any umpire related inconsistency 

[UpstateNewYorker]

On the TV broadcast Provus said Rocco wants to see the hitters "not use their A swing" with two strikes in order to make contact. OK, but we haven't seen any positive results today. (Also: the FO only just now determined this was a good idea?)

I am absolutely sick and tired of Santana and its only game 7.

They’ve certainly been using their A swing. As in Awful

[Robert Floren]

Ump is a Guardian.

 

[hitterscount]

You know your team is terrible when the bloggers analyze every pitch and complain it only affects us… kind a loser mentality 

[USAFChief]

Ok that's ridiculous. 

I hate complaining about umpires but that was intentional. 

[Road trip]

Absolute incompetence behind the plate.  

Bring on the robo umps.  

[Parfigliano]

Ump doing a great CB Buckner imitation

[Danchat]

Bring on the robo umps... then we can lose on our own merits, not with assistance from the umps.

[jkcarew]

Why is Ryan throwing the ball over the plate? Doesn’t seem like a necessary risk to take today.

[USAFChief]

Got away with it thanks to a great catch, but absolutely awful 0-2 pitch to Kwan

 

[USAFChief]

How the **** does Rochio not score on that???

A gift for the Twins for sure

[TopTwinsFan]

As much as gambling is taking over sports now, we have to wonder when we see a horrendous job umpiring like we have seen today if the umpire is corrupt. Is he bought off to help guide the Guardians to win this game. We will never truly know. Maybe he just cant see well.

Having an umpire decide the game is the worst part of baseball. 

One day baseball will let a stike be a strike and a ball be a ball but for now watching umpires decide who wins is what some people call "part of the fun of the (corrupt) game"

[Schmoeman5]

Another gift. Make it count. 

[UpstateNewYorker]

A HBP and an error. We call that a rally.

I disagree. No conspiracy. My problem is why isn't Ryan nibbling off the plate as well. If he's not getting the same calls you may be on to something.

Following the game on the phone, so not seeing the strike zone…regardless of what it is they have 1 hit through 4 innings with 7 strikeouts. This offense is pathetic and really falls on Rocco and the organization. Also, if the ump is truly one sided then the manager should be ejected for standing up for the players. 

[Aggies7]

0-16 risp

[USAFChief]

Oh FFS Julien.

[Aggies7]

0-17!!

[Schmoeman5]

Julien is lost too. He's guessing wrong too many times

[USAFChief]

Safe, but holy **** is Correa slow.
