7/26 vs NYY - Time for Manny to Grow Up, if possible...

[a700hitter]

Pettite at 49 pitches after 2 innings.

[Jayhawk Bill]

this umpire is AWFUL

 

He's only missed one call thus far today.

[a700hitter]

He walks one of the Flying Molina brothers to start the 3rd inning. The announcer commented how neither pitcher has been getting the high strike thus far.

 

3-0 to Damon

[jacksonianmarch]

that last pitch to Damon was way low

[jacksonianmarch]

f***ing ********** costs us a walk

[a700hitter]

It's where it crossed the plate.

[jacksonianmarch]

it was a curveball McCarver. Jesus, these guys are stupid.

[jacksonianmarch]

Abreu comes through!

[Jayhawk Bill]

Ump should have rung him up.

 

Agreed.

[a700hitter]

Ump should have rung him up. It cost us at least one run.

[Bostonownsyou]

Wakefield is fustrating to watch.

[riverside sluggers]

"That carom allowed Abreu to go to 3rd" McCarver, Abreu is fast and it was 2 outs so obviously he was running on contact

[a700hitter]

I hate watching him pitch, but I love the guy.

[jacksonianmarch]

anyone wanna billyclub mccarver?

[riverside sluggers]

Phew, Drew kept running back to the bullpen wall

[jacksonianmarch]

thats a tater in NY.

[Bostonownsyou]

2-1 End 3. Better then I thought. Lets get some runs for once now.

[Jayhawk Bill]

Ump should have rung him up.

 

Hey, didja catch where I agreed with you before you even posted?

 

BTW, Pitch f/x showed that ball to Abreu as four inches within the strike zone. Cousins costs Boston a run.

[a700hitter]

thats a tater in NY.

As was Drew's ball in his 3rd AB last night.

[Cocos Disciples]

thats a tater in NY.

 

Well thats too bad.

You obviously have the gift of telepathic powers.

[Gom]

This guy makes yesterday's umpire look fantastic. Holy cow, I haven't seen him call the same pitch twice in a row for EITHER side.

[ORS]

Ball 3 to Abreu was a good 3-4" above the knee.

 

I think the strikezone has the biggest impact on the outcome of the game, and it oftens appears to be of arbitrary size and shape, particularly the last two games.

[Jayhawk Bill]

Four missed calls by Cousins so far: three Wakefield strikes called balls, and one Pettitte ball called a strike.

[riverside sluggers]

Damn how about that call

[Gom]

Both pitchers are pissed off at the umpire. Oh well, have to make the best of it.

[yankeessuck013]

stop bitching about the high pitch now, jackson.

[a700hitter]

But he rings our guy up on a high strike.

[jacksonianmarch]

bad call. I had been begging for the high strike all game and he finally gives it when its outside on Papi with 2 strikes.

[Cocos Disciples]

Great hustle by Manny right there.
