Series Thread: Three games in Texas, Apr. 27-29

Is it me, or is this ump giving a much bigger strike zone to Wandy than Felix?

 

[Msfann]

That strike to miller was a good 6" off the plate and I was giving the ump a LOT of the benefit of the doubt. it could have been farther.

 

[Itsmytime]

Arlington is like kryptonite to Felix.

Cano y u struggle right now?

NICE one Lomo! And getting rid of their starter in the 5th. LOVE that.

 

[WizardHawk]

Thank god it's the rangers they are playing. Any other team and that's an out at least, DP likely for Lomo.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Well at least we'll get Zuni down so our next inning can lead off with someone okay.

 

[WizardHawk]

If Weeks could figure out what to do when standing on 3rd base with an infield hit to the left side, it might be a wide open game by now.

How the hell does the exact same play happen twice? Terrible baserunning by Weeks.

That was an hit and run. He ran on contact, so what he did was correct. Also Hurricane K-Nino wipes out another rally!

Something tells me he wasn't the same after that embarrassing moment he had when he decide to just walk off 3rd base. Hope he turn it around soon. But they said yesterday his hitting is like a roller coaster anyway.

Was the infield in this time? wasn't paying attention when it happened. But may if Bloomquist can just can the damn ball away from 3B and SS, he'd most likely score.

I just can't believe the same thing happened twice.

Yeah it was in, like they said if the ball was to the left or right a couple feet Weeks would have scored.

Might be you, I haven't seen anything too crazy yet.

Miller's arm.. omfg.

 

[Anointed One]

ugh I'm so sick of Millers bad throws

 

[Anointed One]

Chris Taylor is just as good as Miller and there is such a better defender. Won't be long before Chris Taylor reclaim his starting role

 

[Cloud]

Forget the tag, his foot was on the bag with the baseball in the glove.

Correct call. Even if split second the ruling on the field (or in this case park) rules. Sucks if you're a Rangers fan, good if you're an Ms fan. Sometimes cameras can't even catch what's going on proving IMO how good these refs/umps are these days.

That was a terrific call by the ump. Things like this happens real fast and they're capable of making the correct calls. Kudos to them.
