wow... walk off balk... oh well

 

[darrylgann]

What the hell...

 

[romeo212000]

Are you shitting me? I thought there was no way I could be mad about losing tonight, but I sure as fuck am now.

 

[Bmurph]

What a dumbfuck

 

[TheRangerDude]

That's beating yourself

 

[RevSader]

A balk??

 

[romeo212000]

That's a pretty fucking chincy ass balk call. That umpire should be ashamed for calling that.

 

[jta4437]

Young pitcher making a young pitcher mistake

 

[RevSader]

Did he drop the ball? Why was it called a balk?

That was actually pretty obvious, thats one of the more clear balks I've seen called in a while

He took too deep of a breath.

 

[TheRangerDude]

yeah, it wasn't that obvious to me. Shitty way to end a game for sure

 

[Bmurph]

2 outs and 2 strikes and the runner on 3rd is completely irrelevant, make a pitch. Just not smart

I guess I need to watch it again.

That was a legit balk. Even a slight flinch like that gets called all the time. Not the ump's fault for calling it. Kela lost focus for one second and it cost them.

There yah go, he was so enamored with that runner at 3rd, and minus a passed ball or wild pitch, he was irrelevant

He was staring at him forever, at one point I thought he was just going to let him walk to home

 

[Bmurph]

I guess I need to watch it again.

yeah he rocked his glove back

Dumb thing about it is if he just throws home it's a non-issue. I wouldn't be surprised if that was a called play to try and throw off the young pitcher.

 

[TheRangerDude]

Still can't complain though... great series.

 

[darrylgann]

Hell of a way to lose a game for the kid! Man that was a slight flinch. They had to show it a couple of times for me to see it.
