"You know what, you hit where the glove is, you should get the strike." -- Chip obviously from the thethe school of umpiring.

Utnil we get robot umps this will be the rule.

Is there no such thing as ump interference?

What I was thinking...there should be.

Good thing that ball four was called strike three or that could've cost us two runs.

Ump messed up on ball 3 on Russell, so not really.

There is such a thing—we just witnessed it—but no recourse to do anything about it, unfortunately.

Joe Simpson’s love affair for Freddy Galvis borders on creepy.

Classic old school infielder. Shouldn't be surprised.

Faulty doesn't get frustrated and walk two there would be no run at all....

 

[Carp]

Should have been a passed ball, not a wild pitch. Ball went right through Suzuki's legs on a swinging strike 3 (actually strike 4). Not sure how any sane person calls that a wild pitch.

I mean, the actual rules literally say otherwise ... but ok.

I don't think he's trying to walk those guys, I think he just doesn't want to get hit, which leaves him painting and thus depending on borderline calls.
