Here's the sequence.... 1. First few innings Berrios is getting squeezed by the ump. 2. Inning 4 (or so) Murphy is AB and gets a called strike on a very similar pitch to the ones Berrios was getting squeezed on. Murphy said something to the ump. 3. The next inning or so, the ump flat out missed a Berrios strike 3 call (a bad miss). Murphy said something. Ump said something. Murphy kept talking. Murphy got tossed. Murphy's ineptitude at the plate should've had nothing to do with it.
After Kurt hurt his back they had a shot of the dugout and Mauer was strapping on some gear. I was like "no fu@&ing way!!!" But it turned out it was his foul ball gear for his foot
That almost makes it worse if they end up going with Milone. I was hopeful that the reason Meyer didn't pitch the last couple days was because they knew Gibson and Santana might go on the DL and with Milone pitching bad, they wanted to leave their options open. Not pitching him either of the last two days doesn't make sense any other way.
Someone needs to tell Paul Molitor that any of our AAA relievers would be better against major league pitching than most of our starting rotation the third time through the order. THIS IS A REAL THING, PAUL!!!!
