How do you give him that much room to slide, Perez?

That's gonna be overturned.

Tie game thanks to walks.

Seriously, the ball beat the runner by that much, there shouldn't be a debate, you can't give a runner that much room.

Fuck you, Carlos Perez. Seriously. You fucked up what should have been a great play. Hurry the fuck up and get up here Flowers and get this God damn bum off of this team.

He cost us the fucking lead.

The walk before it never should have happened either, but how do you look your teammates in the eyes after you fuck up a play like that?

And now we're losing.

FUCK YOU CARLOS PEREZ!!!

Catchers that can't hit are supposed to be good behind the plate, but this guy is just the complete package of suckage. He's fucking worthless.

That's two runs he's cost us.

I'd demote his ass to AAA right after the game and call up Alex Jackson until Flowers is ready.

I wouldn't be so mad if it had been Suzuki, because he's productive with the bat and generally a good defensive catcher, but when leaches and wastes of a roster spot fuck up, it really drives me crazy.

Wisler didn't help himself either, but I guess Perez had too much fucking time to think about tagging the runner that was 20 feet away when he got the ball.

Enter the inning with a 3-0 lead. Exit the inning trailing 3-4. I wish we would make the fucking Reds look like the God damn 27 Yankees.

Im not even that mad at Perez....Im fucking mad at Snitker and AA for choosing Perez over Chris Stewart, who wasnt great but he is serviceable and a hell of a lot better than Perez.

Is it just me, or does it seem like the base umpires never ring up a hitter on a check swing anymore? Seems like it used to be they always called it a strike, now it seems like it's called a no swing every time.

They get word to lighten up to help out offense? Are batters better at stopping their swing than they used to be? Or am I just paranoid?

If he goes 0-5 with 5 strikeouts, I ain't mad, but a play like that, I don't care who decided you're on the team, you don't miss a tag like that.

It's hard to nail a runner at the plate, doesn't happen too much over the course of a season. We had the runner dead to rights, Perez had the ball so far ahead of the runner, I wouldn't have been surprised if the runner tried to go back to third and get in a run down, but somehow, Perez gives the runner enough room to slide under a chest high tag attempt.

I like Flowers but even when he comes back Zuk should be our primary catcher.
