Feel the same way about this Dodgers-Braves series as I did the Cubs WS. Dodgers are without a doubt the more talented team and there's no reason that this shouldnt make it to a game 7, but when your best hitter is all of a sudden Cody Bellinger... yikes. Dodgers need to wake the fuck up. [Reply]
That stat from ARod just now. "Laz Diaz missed 21 calls tonight. MLB average is 8 or 9." Man was giving up like 6 inches off the plate on the side he was ****ing setting up on.
I'm like 99.9% sure I've seen Angel Hernandez in these playoffs. It's ****ing ridiculous these guys are umpiring the playoffs, let alone anything.
If a team’s catcher tries to frame out of zone pitches as strikes the entire game long, seems to me they have less cause to cry about borderline calls being missed.
Christian Vazquez spent the whole game moving his glove into strike zone when he caught a ball out of strike zone. The indicator that Diaz missed that strike call on Castro’s at bat was that Vazquez did not move his glove.
It was a borderline pitch that was a strike, but that’s baseball. Red Sox catcher Vazquez tries so hard to get the umpire to call out of zone borderline pitches strikes, seems like he has to live with mistakes on close pitches that go against his pitcher. [Reply]
