Ohhhh.....I thought he was safe.....Oh well.

Might as well hold onto our challenges for a few innings anyway.

Nothing is a given when we challenge, that's for sure.

Is this umpire fucking serious with those called strikes to DDJ?

Total bs. Second pitch way high

Wouldn't have won that one.

Well tie goes to the runner and probably should've been called safe, but I wouldn't have considered that clear and convincing

We've been fucked over with more convincing evidence.

 

[romeo212000]

Gallardo better get the same fucking strikes.

Beltre looks like he's not taking a normal swing again.

I thought he was coming around. But that last ab, didn't look worth a flip.

Day games after night games may be a little tougher for him. Less time to recover.

I guess I missed no Mitch in the lineup today.

I did too. Rest day I guess

Against Keuchel, might as well. Especially since it looks like he's going to be getting help from the umpire today.

Also missed that, loading up on righties vs a tough lefty I guess.... plus Rosales hasn't played in a while it seems

 

[romeo212000]

Hamilton might be heating up. He was right on the off speed pitch.

 

[romeo212000]

Ugly at bat for Rua. Hasn't seen live pitching in how many weeks, though?

 

[romeo212000]

Keuchel has one amazing first half and is already getting the ace zone, Darvish has been squeezed for two years. Amazing.

Point taken.

Rua's last 6 AB have produced 3 HR. Weird stat, isn't it?

 

[romeo212000]

Yo is just gonna have to out last Keuchel because I'm pretty sure we're not scoring on him. He's basically our kryptonite.

I don't want to give Banister too much credit, before he's earned it.

But I think he's gonna make a footprint on all this: our left-hand hitters get the double wide zone for strikes, while our pitchers don't get the same calls - in the same game - as the opposition, repays don't seem to go our way, etc.

Anyone know the league averages on calls overturned? What's ours?

 

[donaldson79]

Nadel just pointed out we haven't scored a run for Gallardo in his last 4 starts, counting today.

HOLY CRAP

Probably an inning or so too early to make a point, but it's amazing how out lhb get fucked consistently, and nobody says anything.
