These umps...

These umps...

He definitely didn't offer at that

 

[Chase17]

I'm starting to think Procello won't go the full 9.

 

[Sanjuro]

RICK!

He definitely didn't offer at that

Pfft.

 

[jello44]

More chances squandered.

 

[Sir Alemeth]

lol how come you hate them so much?

I bleed orange and black. It's in my blood to hate them.

 

[Sanjuro]

Hmm...

 

[Rock And Roll]

Blood is supposed to be red, go see a doctor.

 

[Line_HTX]

He must be a pumpkin.

 

[Rock And Roll]

Welp we all knew that was coming.

Farrell should have at least gotten his money's worth.

 

[Tall4Life]

You fucking idiot

 

[JambiBum]

Pedroria is lucky he didn't get tossed there. Ump gonna get booed on every call now though.

 

[Sanjuro]

I wonder what color the ump's blood is? 🤔

 

[davidwhangchoi]

ump just mugged both hitters.

0 outs bases loaded. what a waste..

[Choomp]

Fuck that ump

 

[TS-08]

None of those calls was worth getting yourself thrown out in the second inning of an elimination game.

 

[Tall4Life]

The ump's a Yankees fan

 

[Chase17]

Those pitches were close, seems worse since it was back to back. Probably not a good call to get thrown out there, but I guess Ferrall was falling on the sword for Pedroia.

Was hoping the could at least score one there though lol.

 

[Line_HTX]

Should throw Pedroia into the mud Pedro style.

 

[ZeoVGM]

I'm not sure what's more frustrating: some of these calls or the fact that the Sox can't do shit when the bases are loaded.

 

[ZeoVGM]

None of those calls was worth getting yourself thrown out in the second inning of an elimination game.

They were pretty rough calls to have happen multiple times. But I overall agree.

Problem is, he needed to protect Pedroia from being thrown out.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Shocking. Absolutely shocking, I say, to see Boston fans pulling the victim card.

You can get in between the umpire and the player and cool things down without getting yourself thrown out. The ump gave both of them a lot of leeway considering it was balls and strikes.

 

[Ramirez]

The ump is shit, Porcello was not getting those same type of close calls. (Indians fan!)

 

[Tall4Life]

They're warming up Sale, wtf

 

[Sanjuro]

I'll take it.

Anyone see my comment about how to stream FS1? My comment was last on a page.

Electronic assisted strikezones.

Coming to a theater near you 2020.

Bad calls in the postseason in high leverage situations against popular teams....

The Red Sox made the sacrifice for the greater good of baseball.

I can do it on Xfinity, but I need a login.

I think you can stream it on Fox Sports Go if you have a supported cable log in. I can log on with my Vue credentials, for instance.

if you don't subscribe to a package containing the channel, you won't be able to watch a legal stream.

It truly is shocking that a fan of a baseball team would be upset at a series of close/questionable calls.

Surely, this is just a Boston thing and you certainly never see this happen with other teams!

 

[Line_HTX]

Sox gonna need a better Apple Watch for the 3D strike zone.

😗

 

[Chase17]

Welp!

 

[Rock And Roll]

Was a pretty bad send, ball was pretty shallow and Gonzales had a lot of momentum to throw him out

 

[spyder_ur]

They absolutely shelled Morton for the second straight inning and got 0 out of it.

 

[Sanjuro]

The catcher ruined his path to the plate and deflated his stride. Give them one run.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

that's some slow running.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Sending Moreland there... well that was dumb.

Was he actually sent by the third base coach or did he blow through a stop sign? Either way one of them should be fired.

 

[Bsigg12]

Moreland had no chance

 

[ZeoVGM]

That ball clearly wasn't hit deep enough to have him go home.

 

[Caja 117]

So here's a question about the possibility of an automated strikezone future. You obviously can't have the same zone for every player because of heights, (look at altuve and judge) so how do you account for that with automated zones.

Hope this never happens.

He looks a lot like Mookie from a distance.

 

[Jack Scofield]

Dodgers are going to go all the way this year. 😒

I'm not sure I like the idea of Sale here. I'd rather try to get Porcello through a couple more innings (seemed to be hitting his stride and was finally getting some of the edge calls the Astros were) and have Sale for game 5. Especially given the uncertainty around him in this spot.

I'm guessing they see this as a do or die game so they're throwing everything they can

Hire a fat man to recalibrate the lasers after every inning.
