8/15 @ Nationals

[Maxbialystock]

Pretty bad call by the ump on the called 3d strike. Way outside.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This joke of a chUMPIRE has been employed for 29 years. A lifetime job no matter how s***** he performs.

[vegasbob]

Good point--not firing him, but at least tearing him a new one.

 

Febles did not make the trip to DC, so Goodwin moved over to 3rd base. The Sox hired a guy pregame from Section 111 to cover 1st for them, on the premise, what could go wrong? Not sure his name

Of course, maybe he was telling him to hold but McGuire is such an idiot that he went on his own. That's more likely. McGuire is a HORRIBLE base runner as evidenced in the Toronto game a few weeks ago with the worst base runnning of the year.

Not sure if Cora will let Nick P. start the 5th, but if he does, I'll assure that Cora will pull him after 2 outs as a spanking for all those s***** curve balls in the 3rd. Notice what happened as he went back to the FB more often. Edited August 16, 2023 by vegasbob

Maybe the powers that be can implement a new rule allowing teams to have a designated base runner for a certain player on the team. That may have extended Ortiz's career.

[Maxbialystock]

Pivetta 83 pitches to get thru 4 innings. 5 hits and 3 BB's, but also 7 K's.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Is Angel Hernandez umping home plate? That was a horrendous call! Outside by a foot!

 

Angel is the face of the Umpires' Union.

Off by 1 out, sorry Nick.

Is this umpire drunk? What the f*** is his strike zone

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Angel is the face of the Umpires' Union.

 

That Angel hasn't been fired after all of his years as a terrible chUMP proves the Umpires Union doesn't give one s*** about quality chUMPIRING. And that crap union is going to fight to not allow robo umps.

[Jasonbay44]

This guy tonight and Angel Hernandez should be prime examples of why we need robo umps.

 

Oh and Hernandez lost his lawsuit against the MLB.

[Tedballgame]

Beautiful scoop by Casas.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

For over a month I've been waiting for Devers to be the driver of this playoff chasing bus, but, so far, he's merely been a passenger.

Well said.

[Jasonbay44]

Bullpen has been outstanding so far tonight. Great work by Bernardino, Schrieber and Martin

...and Jansen

[wyo-sox]

Another good team win. Frustrating the rest of the division above us just won't lose games though! Blue Jays won.

[Jasonbay44]

Jansen with a 5 pitch save. Great job by the bullpen.

[wyo-sox]

Another good team win. Frustrating the rest of the division above us just won't lose games though! Blue Jays won.

 

Orioles getting it handed to them though!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good win against a team that has been playing well lately. Onward and upward.

[Duran Is The Man]

too bad we can't use this pen every single night.

 

Phillies didn't do us any favors losing to the Jays tonite. M's leading Royals 8-5 in another crazy game.

[Duran Is The Man]

and the Yankees get 1-hit by the Braves. LOLOLOLOL.

[moonslav59]

WOW!

 

KCR just scored 3 in the bottom of the 9th to tie SEA. Canzone thrown out at 3rd.

 

Will SEA blow 2 back-to-back games in spectacular fashion?

[Bellhorn04]

Is this umpire drunk? What the f*** is his strike zone

 

The "strikeout" on Turner in the 4th was an all-time classic.

 

You can see where all the pitches were on Gameday.

 

Chumpire indeed.

[moonslav59]

Forget the challenge idea on balls and strikes. That would just further delay the game.

 

Figure out a robo ump system that is consistent and accurate.
