Xray the Enforcer Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Yeah, this is an ugly two innings for that pitcher. 61 pitches and still only in the bottom of the 2nd.And now the bases are loaded again.And now pitching change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MercenaryChef Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 at 5-0 i went to bed. it had been a long day anyways. hard to soldier on after 13 hours at the restaurant when the dodgers were just getting beaten up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 That's probably for the best, anyway. Certainly better than being exhausted and forcing yourself to stay awake through a rally, just to see your team and your hopes get kneecapped by a walk-off home run in the 10th.

MercenaryChef Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 this season has just been heartbreak after heartbreak. things must turn around soon.i anticipate a win today with ryu (shoryuken!!) on the mound. he has been very impressive and seemingly worth the sacks of cash that scott boras extorted from the dodgers.we need zack healthy. he is back in two to three weeks.kemp needs to start hitting. gonzo and hanley need to be healthy.anything less than a playoff run by the dodgers is a total failure of a year.

wolverine Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I watch, play, coach, and umpire a lot of baseball games. I am actually disgusted with how bad pretty much every major league umpire's strike zone is. Every fucken ump stands on the inside corner and will not call balls that are ON the inside corner but then calls shit 3-6 inches off the outside corner. I am not using hyperbole when I say that every ump I have seen this year has his zone shifted to the outside of the plate. Lefties seem to get particularly hosed on these calls.The other thing that annoys me about this, is these umps don't seem to understand how a breaking ball works or what framing a pitch is. They call these back-door breaking balls that are CAUGHT a couple inches outside and appear to have crossed the plate even further outside. What is even worse, is seeing a pathetic attempt at framing the pitch by a catcher yanking it towards the middle of the plate and the ump rewards him for this. IMO if you can SEE the catcher moving the pitch in MLB it is almost never a strike.C'mon MLB umps you are better than this. You actually make tons of amazing correct calls on the bases, but the strike zone width is driving me nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kairparavel Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 E:60 just did a piece on the 23 MLB perfect games pitched. And ended it with a teenager who pitched a perfect game.Good stuff (and I generally don't want E:60 because it's a little too Entertainment Tonight with it's pieces) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greywolf2375 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 C'mon MLB umps you are better than this. .Actually, no - they're not. This is as good as it gets - see Hochuli Hirshbeck running Harper in the first inning. There are more gregarious displays all the time, yet the ump states "I was being nice". No, unfortunately many of them need to be part of the show and things like this and the sliding, adjustable strike zone are just examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all umps/cops are power hungry pricks who got too many swirlies in high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
