That was better.

Good OOTS, as well

I’m so ambivalent about the Jays at this point that I didn’t even realize that they were playing a 4 game guaranteed loss series vs Texas this week.

Still 1 game left to bet against them.

Just pathetic.

Meanwhile, Sportsnet has just rolled all of their coverage into their new "bonus" package wherein you pay a bonus fee of $8/month.

Hoping this becomes a trend. (The Suns decision, not what BBB posted.)

$8 a month? Does that make me a verified fan? What if I’m already a card carrying tier two fan?

I get that he is an absolutely brutal umpire but as a hitter you can’t take pitches just off the plate if he has been doing that all game. The first 3 calls like that should have been an indicator to start swinging the bat.

I rarely watch the Pirates but I was told yesterday that game finished in an hour and 58 minutes and I was wondering why it went by so fast.

I remember Blue Jays shortstop and leadoff man Tony Fernandez being asked by a reporter why he was such a free swinger and not taking more pitches in an attempt to draw walks.

Tony's reply: "You can't walk off an island"

Orioles TB game had an awful umpire last night too. If it was anywhere near the plate at all, they had to swing because it was going to be a strike. Makes for a boring game.

 

[dare2be]

I usually complain about the bad calls I see during a game, but these calls were at least consistent on what would be called a ball or a strike, that it didn't seem as bad as other games. There was no real discrepancy in the amount of bad calls against one team vs. the other.

Happy Clemente Day!

It's being called evenly but the strike zone tonight is super wide and super low. So exciting watching defensive swings

Hey, enough about me and my wife on a Friday night.

Last night: Sweet, should be a good game. Let's watch on MLB.tv. Nope. It's on Fox. You have to watch it there.

Tonight; Last night was a good game, want to watch tonight, put on MLB.tv. Nope this is an Apple TV game.


I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.
