Not feeling great about this series.
Also this is stupid.

yeah being a No name Mariner pitcher is for sure a factor here.Dumbest thing ever. He is not suspended for having a foreign substance he is suspended for being ejected for what the umpires believe was a foreign substance...huh? So now umpires who can't tell a strike from a hole in the wall are in charge of suspensions now. Crazy ass bullshit, but they made sure the guy first accused wasn't a star because that would hurt attendance of a real team.
Dead on. Thought same thing as it as happening. Phil Scuzzy, as I call him, was squeezing him and seems very vindictive to me. Remember he was the 1B ump that said Murphy swung on a check swing that was the worst check swing call I've seen in my 45 years of watching baseball. It just happened to come an AB after Murphy got screwed by home plate ump on pitches 3 inches inside that Murphy visibly argued with. Too much power for ego hungry, low character humans.I watched most of the game and it was clear Santiago was getting squeezed and he wasnt happy. I honestly wouldnt put it past the home plate ump to make a point even though he was already coming out of the game anyway.
If the MLB would just say he is suspended based on Rule 6.02(d) then fine, dumb rule but at least its explainable. But to just say we suspended him because the umps ejected him is ridiculous.
Correct on both points. Where the hell is the union on all this? Isn't it time to say enough is enough? It is a joke. The whole inspection after innings is a joke. Baseball is turning me off faster than the NBA did in the early 2000's.If the MLB would just say he is suspended based on Rule 6.02(d) then fine, dumb rule but at least its explainable.

Yea Clark has to step in and I agree the MLB has slowly been losing me as well. If this rebuild doesnt work out, idk how much more I can handleCorrect on both points.

Was saying the same thing to my TV. And yes that check swing was BS. Home plate umps should not be allowed to call check swings. I can't believe for the life of me that they can look for a 98 mph pitch while also seeing if a guy swung.Ray is just pumping fastballs and we cant do anything. That's whats frustrating about this offense most of the time. They cant handle fastballs
I think pitchers should get together and all sit until MLB pulls its head out of its ass. I don't like cheating but this is stupid. Is the players union not doing anything?Dumbest thing ever.

No idea on it yet, but yes the umpires are the last people who should be given authority over it. Nothing says ripe for an over reaction like a MLB umpire.
Because we should totally be trusting the umpires with judgement decisions because they have a great reputation. Especially given this was something implemented midseason.
