The 2014 MLB Random Thoughts Thread

The strike zone SHOULD be from the knees to the letters. Umps changed the game over the years, but that's a real strike




I cant find Dodgers game anywhere

9:30 MLB Network

it wasnt called a strike in this game. Thats what got me and other fans and Cabrera upset.

Ump changed it up with the Bryce at bat in the 9th, and then that one.

First pitch on Pablo was the same one Bryce got. I thought it had been called a few times both ways before that too.

My FS1 listings have UFC Fight Night

MLB. network
My bad

 

[Billy Preston]

Dodgers Cards is on TBS

My listings show Dodger/Cards on MLB Network. I skimmed through like 5 networks to find it. MLB does a horrible job at making it clear where to find each game.

The call on Harper was bad. The one on Cabrera was borderline and he probably missed it, based on what's usually called in that situation. It's not realistic to expect human beings to get every call that exactly right.

....and RobotUmps call that a strike every time and baseball scoring drops significantly.

I understand that umps arent perfect. All I am saying is I got mad and the players got mad at the late game change-up, and its completely understandable.



edit: I thought that 2-1 pitch from Casilla was a strike.

Nats fans should probably just be thankful the home plate umpire called Posey out in the 9th

 

[yseJ]

I have a bad feeling about this inning...

If they hadn't been 1 out from a victory, they don't get so mad.

I think the Nats are in his head now on the borderline pitches.

 

[nomoreneveragain]

I respect this umps troll game

Maybe not

Next year they should put the Wild Card, division, and LCS games on TNT/TBS
Throw the WS on Fox

of course


shyt, dude screwed JZimm in the 9th. Thats what started this.

 

[Spaceman Piff]

i swear this ump is calling strike if he sees the batter move towards first
