  1. And we've got a 4 gamer in Cleveland starting tomorrow night. Need today's game badly.
  2. The first inning of last night's game once again demonstrated that many umps have a difficult time accurately calling balls and strikes. Sale had at least one clearcut strike called a ball and at least one borderline strike called a ball, so you're thinking, okay, tight strike zone tonight. Then our leadoff hitter gets rung up on a pitch about six inches outside.
  3. Now that you mention it...thanks Dave!
  4. The injury might have played a role, but we'll never know for sure. In MLB negative stuff can snowball and a guy just can't come out of a bad stretch that season.
  5. Holt is only 29, and the team should know if he's lost some speed. If he has, then yes it was probably a bad call.
  6. The Recency Effect.
  7. He was 26 out of 32 in his career before that. He may be slower these days, but that's a different question.
  8. I think it was a totally defensible call sending Holt there.
  9. People sometimes forget how close Dave Roberts came to getting thrown out in 2004. It was so close that a bad umpiring call could have ruined everything. It was a clutch call by that ump.
  10. That's the one point in its favor. But I don't think it was really meant to make things fairer so much as to keep more teams in it longer. Just my opinion.
  11. Vin Scully is probably thinking he should have stuck around for one more season!
  12. Everybody picks on somebody. With some it's Young, with you it's Holt.
  13. Yeah, you should have won a game in which you gave up 9 runs.
  14. That hurts. I expect Girardi will be going to Robertson and Betances tonight. They've been the money relievers for the Yanks lately.
  15. The eternal mysteries of major league baseball.
  16. Not working out that way with Sabathia lately.
  17. 2004 ALCS Game 6 vs. the Yanks. 2 calls correctly changed in our favor, including the infamous A-Rod slap play. In Yankee Stadium, and without benefit of viewing any replays.
  18. Brutal start by this ump.
  19. Joe West did have one great game in his career though, and for that one game I'll always like him as much as I can like an ump.
  20. Starting to sound like TJ surgery, see you in 2019, and forget about the opt-out.
  21. I think the new WC system is rinky-dink. At the end of August there may still be some sub-.500 AL teams with a chance at a WC spot. But it was a smart move commercially to keep more fans interested longer.
  22. He's been discussed a lot on the Prospects thread.
  23. It's all technicalities. In this case the Wild Card games are technically playoff games. MLB recognizes them as such, Baseball-Reference recognizes them as such.
  24. Calling a game a 'playin' game instead of a 'playoff' game is just semantics. The reality is the same in either case. You win, you move on, you lose, you go home.
  25. Used to be, used to be...once upon a time there was only the World Series. What's changed is changed.
