10/19 Astros @ SOX ALCS GAME 4 8:08PM

That's our Renfroe, free-swinging again. Last night he got two BB's, which clearly must have pissed him off, so tonight he's making sure there is no way the Astros are going to walk him again. Nosiree. Edited October 20, 2021 by Maxbialystock

If it wasn't for Angel Hernandez, this chUMP,Diaz, would be the worst. Bill Miller was good last night; he's in a very small minority of good chUMPS in MLB.

This f***ing chump is horrible

[Tedballgame]

Not a good call by the ump, but JDM was just stupid about it. Good thing Cora saved his ass.

How was JD stupid about it? By questioning a terrible call? By starting to first on an obvious ball 4?

Went back to a similar call in his first AB.

[YastrzemskI]

I’m surprised that Cora wasn’t thrown out.

That was a terrible strike three call on JD. I mean it’s almost as if the umpires sometimes WANT attention. It was both low and outside. Just terrible umpiring. Ughhh. s*** like this makes me wanna turn the game off.

[iortiz]

Renfroe is lost AB. He just chase.

[d-money]

The offense taking a night off. Not good.😩

i thought his ejection would be automaticwhen he started arguing.

Dude it’s the fourth inning..

[Maxbialystock]

Slider right down the middle, but no swing by Maldonado. Instead he walked on pitch 5.

[Tedballgame]

It is never a good idea to walk the lead off man.

[d-money]

Come on pivetta!!! No walks.

[vegasbob]

Absent a quick DP. Nick is on his last legs tonight

^^^^

[d-money]

Well Pivetta is looking for trouble. You do not walk the leadoff batter .

[Jasonbay44]

Pivetta has been giving up some hard hit balls. I’m not sure how much longer he has in this game. I get the overall line of only 1 run and low pitch count is good, but definitely some concern

[Tedballgame]

Maldonado hasn’t hit this inning.

[Jasonbay44]

Dude it’s the fourth inning..

 

All he does is bitch all game about everything lol, it’s what he does.

[YastrzemskI]

Pivetta is giving up some Shots. That last liner almost took Verdugo’s head off.

How would you like to suck at your job for years and not even get reprimanded, much less fired? Become a major league chUMPIRE. And how does a chUMP get rewarded for sucking? The f'ing chUMPIRES' union selects him to the PO's.

[YastrzemskI]

Two away… come on.

[illinoisredsox]

If it wasn't for Angel Hernandez, this chUMP,Diaz, would be the worst. Bill Miller was good last night; he's in a very small minority of good chUMPS in MLB.

 

CB Bucknor on line 1.

Joe West on line 2.

 

Although West can be a good ump when he decides to be. He just doesn’t decide to be very often.

[Maxbialystock]

Pivetta is throwing 50% strikes and miraculously--that is the right word--getting away with it so far.

Did you see that call on JD??? I mean.. you do this for a living and you call THAT a strike??? It’s incomprehensible and quite frankly EMBARRASSING.

[illinoisredsox]

All he does is bitch all game about everything lol, it’s what he does.

 

There’s a reason I have him on ignore.

[Jasonbay44]

Good job Pivetta

[d-money]

No walks man. Just throw strikes.

[Tedballgame]

Pivetta’s FB is still good. Astros hitters are late.

[d-money]

Pivetta is battling out there despite not having his best stuff. They need to get a couple of more runs!!!!!
