2 on with Jrod coming up... yes please.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Yes, all 3 in Toronto

That's right. Thanks for the reminder (I know I asked this earlier on the board, forgot - my mind is 100% football now... not used to the Mainers in the postseason lol).

 

[WizardHawk]

Jrod entirely got himself out that time. Bounce back kid. We will need it later on this game.

I am absolutely shocked the MLB has not gone to computer calls for balls/strikes. Stick the fat fuck back there to make the call, fine... you still need an ump at the plate to call timeouts, calls at the plate, provide balls, etc. Shove a fuckin' earpiece in him and call it a day. And then there's ZERO arguing balls/strikes....

Computers have shown to be roughly 98-99% accurate. True legends like Angel Hernandez call it wrong like 20% of the time. Like what the fuck is the debate?

I'm keeping track. Through 1 1/3rd it is 3-0 against us on missed calls.

It better go both ways

At least 2 bad calls against us in inning 2. Strike outside to Crawford and the same outside strike to France. may have been another mixed in there.

Julio needs to relax and lay off the sliders to see more fastballs.

Kelenic strike 3 was 3 inches outside.

Well thank fucking God. I was calling for it back in 2015.

 

[Podunkparte]

Fuck this ump

 

[NWinAZ]

4-0 missed calls.

K turns into a single

 

[WizardHawk]

At least the bad strike zone didn't cost them runs....

This inning anyway.

So it was that bad? On the radio they made it seem pretty bad but you never know. But damnit, he’s the one guy that doesn’t need to get shafted.

 

[WizardHawk]

And that out was on the ump. JFC baseball. Fix your shit.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

WTF!? Expanded strike zone my ass, that's a ball.

Yes, it was obviously out of the zone.
