As a Royal fan, that’s what drove me nuts about Cueto last night. I know his command was off, but he wasn’t getting certain pitches, and that threw him off even more.

The best part was the Fox crew reminding us, again, that Game 3 was the most important game in the eyes of Joe Torre, so that’s why we’ve got drama queen Hirschbeck behind the plate. Oh, but it’s cool, he asked Sal how his hand was feeling.

OTOH, judging by the winces and grimaces we were seeing on Tulo’s face in the later innings, the ump might have done him a favor by getting him out of there early.

Seriously - I thought that the best umpires were supposed to do the post season games. I saw frickin’ Angel Hernandez doing ALDS between KC and Houston. Isn’t he almost universally regarded as the worst umpire alive?

Yeah he was all over the place with strike zones, some sure fire strikes were balls, then shit in or outside would be strikes. Then it would flip flop, if you’re gonna call it a certain way, at least be consistent with it.

I think it was the 7th where both halves of the inning ended on bullshit strikes. Terrible.

Zone in Cubs Mets game 2 was bizarre as well. At one point they joked that Maddon was making corrected calls from the dugout.

His strike zone was fucking strange, for both teams. He may have been the one who accounted for all the Rogers Centre’s 500 level beers. Oh well, on to tomorrow. Hell of a series so far.

Kevin Millar must have been really happy to get a new contract!

as a royals fan i don’t have a problem with it going seven games. i’ll pass on all the homeruns though

I’ve got no joke for this. Good for Lamar, and I hope he keeps improving.

I will always champion those who break the unwritten rules of baseball, because the unwritten rules of baseball are all, 100%, yes even your favorite one, fucking stupid.

Let’s watch it again!

I starred this. Then I un-starred it just so I could star it again.

This is a good comment.

Take that Brian McCann you fat fuck.

What is he “spot on” about exactly? He didn’t even make an argument, Jones was the only one making actual points. I’ll logic chop it for you so you can at least die on a decent hill for your BS position.

My grandfather was a marine during WW2, and till the day he died he had nothing but praise for the M1 Garand, and he would talk about how it saved his life thanks to how reliable it was.

However, he said the ping was a huge downside. The enemy figured out the sound meant you had used your last bullet, so it could be a
