Series Thread: M's @ Angels: August 15th - 17th

It was originally called fair, but Brian "giant pussy" O'Nora got scared because big ol mean Phil Nevin yelled at him and wrongly changed the call to foul ball, so then they had to have indisputable proof to call it fair.

Which there was, but apparently baseball still wants to continually screw over one of the upcoming faces of MLB, because that's how you get viewership and win over fans.

Ok I'm done ranting, but this shit tonight pissed me off big time.

Thanks, I didn't have the sound up at the time so I didn't know all of the details.
The stadium's need a few more camera's around for replays because the angles they use for that were horrible and they can easily do better.

^^^ 100% a HR

 

[seahawksfan234]

You guys will call me out if I'm wrong, but did I see that Julio "foul ball" correctly?

It looked like a HR, it was called a HR, then it was suddenly called a foul, and the foul was confirmed because there wasn't good enough footage to confirm it was a HR, like it was originally called?

On the field it looked like a home run, both the Mariners and Angels broadcast teams thought it was a home run, everyone thought it was a home run, then it's called foul and there isn't indisputable evidence to overturn the ruling.

Am I wrong here?

Was the 3rd strike really this bad?

It was. Raleigh knew it too.

 

[WizardHawk]

Was the 3rd strike really this bad?

Yes. Wasn't the only punch out well off the plate.

 

[WizardHawk]

I mean they might as well swing at balls well off the plate since so many are being called strikes anyway.

Laz Diaz is consistently voted one of the worst umps, so it's no surprise.

I would have never guessed that Raleigh was a better RH hitter than LH hitter. His RH swing is so stiff.

Career RH: .245
Career LH: .183

His power numbers are from the left side though and I think that is a no brainer when watching him. 15 to 3 HR's

Finally a break for the Mariners. No clue WTF the Angels were doing there.

 

[Duders]

holy sheet

 

[Duders]

This is too f'n unreal

 

[Destroydacre]

This is too f'n unreal

I have no clue what I'm watching right now, but I like it! lol

 

[kcden]

That must be the strangest way to score 3 runs on 3 batted balls, ever

And Santana walked on 3 balls after talking the ump into changing the count which he had right...lol.
