  1. Sure could use a hitting Buxton this week.
  2. Lee can't even complete a relay throw on target. Baseball IQ.
  3. Lee officially worthless. Excellent throw Castro. Nice glovework platinum teammate.
  4. I love it when the batter hits it right were the ss position is to be, and there is no one there.
  5. Cheer up! France, Lee and Vazquez leading off the next inning.
  6. This happened days before the umpire didn't end the game properly against the Dodgers. A bit of an epidemic, eh?
  7. Tip your hat umpire lovers touting the MLB umpires are soooooooo good. There's another one for you. Another missed one, and not behind the plate.
  8. But, but, so proud of the 103 exit velocity the announcers are....... personally, so sick of the whole exit velocity fascination.
  9. Stewart needs to be added the bullpen usage chart. He did pitch in this game.
  10. Nobody wants Correa? Yet the Twins pay 36 million a year, and home writers and announcers and fans keep saying he is sooooooo good. The thorn will stay.
  11. I remember a 4 man rotation and a 15 inch mound.
  12. ALL missed calls are horrid. Even if they benefit the favored team. It changes every game. ALL MISSED CALLS. Ohtani is not "any" batter. He is the most feared hitter in the game right now. There are always exceptions, according to the game being played. Performance definitely wins games, but umpires and bad calls lose or win way too many. It even outs? hmmmm. Just more incorrect calls. More wrongs make it right?
  13. The clip of Baldelli's presser I caught may have been abbreviated, but no one asked him about pulling Paddack with a low 78 pitches (when a recently returned from the IL - April 28 to July 9 with right shoulder inflammation - Glasnow, with just 2 previous starts in July goes 106) and pitching the best he has all year. He could have easily started the 7th, instead of the tired pen. Baldelli didn't offer anything, either. Any link to a more complete presser would be appreciated. I already said my piece in the game thread. Rage is dissipating, but I can still feel Jax choking.
  14. So just let them review the side video in the ninth/extra innings (at least). Like a flagrant foul, there will still be an opinion, but at least the umpire can get help to do his job correctly, and not make a fool of himself when he is so obviously wrong. It is really very simple. The angle from behind the base is so inferior for making a call, anyway. Give them better tools to be an umpire, and not have a third party affect the game so. Let the actual players determine the game.
  15. It is not an ABS review. Just look at it on the screen, the side video. An umpire with any integrity would reverse his call and WANT to make it right. So make it available, especially in the last inning, for rieview and challenge! So Simple. If the umpire is a pompous Joe West type, then the whole crew can override him. So very simple. Needs to be changed for next year.
  16. No, 528 Hubie. This is a special rage today.
  17. Did you see the game/play/swing? So obvious. Check the replay.
  18. Exactly. The umpire can't make the call accurately anyway, Standing behind first (or third). It is so obvious that it is a perfect call for the cameras and review. ESPECIALLY IN THE NINTH/EXTRA INNINGS. Like the final 2 minutes of a Basketball game when everything should be made correct as possible, More whining from the umpire union and Commisioner not being a Manfraud, no doubt.
  19. EXCEPT, by the rules, the game was over and the following at bat and choices would not have happened, if not for the obvious umpire error. It was over with the bases clean. I agree, though, that Jax was a massive choker and Ruiz should have been taken out in aggressive order. Jax can't handle the closer pressure. Ruiz was his to destroy.
  20. BS. Trades are never made on the very last performance. Never. Whatever the value is, it is still there in whole.
  21. Jax a chocker in the closer role. This game was stolen by the F'n UMPIRE! Home field advantage. I hate UMPIRES!
  22. Game shouild have been over. Check swing was a strike. Umpire missed such an important call. Coiuldn't pull the trigger. They DO change games.
