Now whitesox hit a 2 run hr...this is why you should always score multiple runs with bases loaded and no outs

bases loaded no outs and can't get a run in

Sad thing is they put the ball in play on each of those outs

I like the passion that Boone showed last night to try to rally the troops coming down the home stretch but I think it’s a little too little too late for that. That boat has sailed and the Yankees are already planning for the winter

Just think of how much he could have argued if the pitch was actually a bad call and a ball. It was an easy strike call. Ball damn near split the plate in half.

You can tell the Yankees are signaling to their batters inside vs outside. The batter only reacted like he did because he was told inside and the ball was on the outside half of the plate.

Its part of the reason why dugouts arent allowed to argue balls and strikes. They cant see well enough to know. You know Boone was pissed when he got back to the locker room and saw he was arguing on obvious strike call.

This is crazy



This reminds me when the Royals career player and allstar Frank White was fired from the Royals color commentator job because he was too negative. Only to be replaced by goofy cheerleader Rex Hudler.

Imagine making a scene like that over THIS pitch:

Boone had an early reservation to get some shitty Chicago style pizza. Forgive me for being redundant. You'd want to hit the showers early tooo if you were in charge of this Island of Misfit Toys Cashman has put together.

Yup, there were plenty others that could have been addressed......
Yeah i think it was just frustrating throughout the night. That wasn't the pitch to get all crazy about but a lot of pitches were missed by Diaz

It’s funny. I’d like to see how each team is impacted by the home plate umps over the course of the season. As a Sox fan, I feel like the Yankees ALWAYS get the close calls…but I wonder if that’s even true. They’ve had those umpire scorecards for a while. I wonder which teams really do benefit the most.

Aaron Judge has the most bad calls and it’s not even close…..look it up
