Series Thread: The hated Angels....8/15-17

He didn't throw a strike to Elvis. That's the worst - by FAR - of calling strikes I think I've ever seen.

Agree and EA had to swing at the last pitch

I know our teams sucks, and when you do, you get no breaks. But for crying-out-loud, how can all those pitches - which are missing by 3-8 inches - ALL be called strikes?

That is just unacceptable at this level. How does this guy even become a ML umpire?

 

[donaldson79]

Maybe the new Commish can upgrade the umpiring.

Selig has been the worst about not keeping umpires accountable. He's created the Joe Wests and Angel Hernandez's.

Honestly........you shouldn't call those pitches at AA, much less in MLB.

And he's been consistently calling this shit all day. But it's gotten worse as the game as gone on. At least it seems to me.

Of course, our Kracker-Jack announcing team are lopping along and trying to sound charming, if uninformed, and make no mention of this.

WAIT.......TAG finally said "throw it to the other side of the plate. It's been a strike all day."

........and this has been a travesty to the great game that Bud wants to kiss up on so much. Those two guys should have been suspended and them later on fired, on so many occasions, I don't have enough fingers/toes to count.

Couldn't, don't and probably won't ever be a fan of big silly Bud.

I haven't been outraged about a game in long time.

THERE NOW

[darrylgann]

New Street is due!

 

[jta4437]

Mantis!!!

Ballgame!

 

[romeo212000]

HAHAHAHA!!!!!

 

[donaldson79]

Is this sweet or what?

Like I said earlier, the Angels are kicking their own asses right now about the 8th inning.

 

[DT LUNA]

Mantis was praying and bingo and good for him

 

[darrylgann]

Worth it just to see the excitement!

 

[donaldson79]

Was that interview with Adam Rosales great?

What a "big kid" out there having a great time, contributing, and playing the game the right way.

 

[jta4437]

Rosales is such a goober haha
