ChiliIrishHammock24 819 Posted June 11, 2018 Remember when Matt Rose was looking like a dude for the first 3 weeks or so of the year? Well he's batting under .200 now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have to figure in AA, it's probably worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's why it's important to never react to small samples (good or bad). I remember Garfein talking him up based on such a limited sample size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
runtheballdown 90 Posted June 11, 2018 It was almost like the home plate ump had it in for Moncada this weekend. Renteria needs to go out there and make a point when the umps are this bad. If he gets tossed who cares. I couldn’t believe what I was watching. The umps are terrible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you're referring to the Twins series. I thought the home plate umpiring this weekend was fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BamaDoc 369 Posted June 11, 2018 Frank Thomas reportedly catcher asked an umpire why it was a ball....."because Frank didn't swing at it" Same story goes around about all batters with great eyes. On umpires, I would tell my young players " There is a reason this ump isn't in the majors". Not sure what you tell a major leaguer. LOL. I agree Ricky needs to go out and get tossed. Players will appreciate it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, there were several pitches in the Boston series to Moncada in particular that were horrible. Porcello K's Moncada in the 6th Price K's 6 (Moncada, although it was very borderline, so not awful) And just for fun, Porcello's 5-K performance (Yolmer strikeout) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
