Lighting candles? Hacking sites? Come on Jung, it's common knowledge that spankee fans sexually molest puppies, club baby seals and sacrifice their own children to Satan in situations like this. It was started by mayor Gulianni.

Bogaerts can't get ready fast enough. 2014 maybe? Just get Aviles the hell out of here before next season and chalk it up to yet another failed SS acquisition from this FO.

Agree on Bogaerts...only issue appears to be whether he will bulk up into a 3rd baseman before getting to play ML SS. I really hope that does not happen as he looks like he could be the prototypical ML SS...which is to say, not the typical Red Sox all bat...sometimes....no glove...all the time SS.

Wow Ross is hot. Alfonso has been all over the place all night. Some have gone the hitters way...some not but really he has been all over the place. Would like to see where that last one was.

What we saw there from Alfonso is just what gets ML hitters and pitchers for that matter going completely batty. He called that a ball two pitches before...in fact the one he called a ball was a slightly better pitch than the one he called a strike. All they ever want is the same pitch called the same way every time.

 

When the ump can't do that , he is nothing more than a pile of dog excrement behind the catcher...useless....clueless.

Padilla keeps his cool for a change...probably because the spanks were in their road unis. I think if Padilla sees those pinstripes...all bets are off.

I'm just wondering how they haven't been replaced with machines yet. Probably for tradition or to keep 'the human element' or some other ********.

The umps union will never let it happen and baseball needs arbitrators at other positions besides home plate...sucks but I don't think we will ever see it.

 

You raise a good point though. If there ever was a concerted effort from some quarter to bring in machines, would there be those that would argue against it for the human element and for the drama that it brings to the game...maybe a little like eliminating fighting in hockey. Although I actually think fighting serves a purpose in hockey.

 

Inconsistency is the killer. The players really don't care if your strike zone is different from some other umps strike zone although we tend to care. The players care about the true knuckleheads that call a pitch a ball one minute and the same pitch a strike the next...they just cannot play the game with that s*** going on. The umps that call balls and strikes that way are known and should just be canned....period.

God damn it....that was a good pitch to hit but geez I hate hate hate first pitch swings. Besides even though that was a hittable pitch, I would have preferred Ells try to get onto a classic LH hitter green light dinger pitch...like low and inside and really try to drive one over the fence...9th inning last bats....give me a dinger over a base hit any day...especially with this line up. Ells was not going to hit the pitch he swung at over the fence under any circumstances.
