Just like it’s not fair to make players read if a pitch is .1 inches off.

Yeah that was an extremely juvenile tweet.

I’m gonna guess that’s on par for what normally happens, give or take 100. These aren’t judgment calls anymore with ABS technology. The technology exists where there would be no increase to how long the game lasts, so why not use it? The current system is really stupid, especially with the “2 second time limit” or last night’s flat out miss of a challenge.

So much has changed anyways, they might as well get all the calls correct. These guys throw too hard to expect umps to do a great job. As I said earlier, nearly 1000 missed calls in games last week is crazy.

Fedde and Urquidy next two nights with wind blowing out….good luck. Probably better than Thorpe though.

Do you see a starter when he pitches?

Weather guys, delayed start?

Man they’re bad at challenging

Think I read where umpires missed nearly 1000 pitches last week

Here is the current OPS vs LHP for the 5 outfield options if Grichuk is at DH: .595 (SA), .621 (BD), .524 (BM), .497 (LA), .383 (TP) This is a giant reason for their struggles in the second half against LHP

I’m aware, but I also think they’re a better team with Peters in the lineup than Doyle, Braden is way better vs RHP and no Acuna. Sox are going to need some power by Colson against RHP down the stretch. 5-9 in order today was predictably bad.

At least 9 of next 11 games are against RHP.

Wait until they claim Civale in few days and he gets innings

Well, if Sox go on to miss the postseason, their fans will say it was cause of them (like Sox did with Caruso).

Gonna have to use Thorpe in the next week. 38 games left

If it was better pitching an inning tonight or opening tomorrow, would have rather seen him face Happ tonight

As you said, game was over once the Sox didn’t score. Just sucked that his ass homering was the worst way to lose.

Not a huge fan of pulling your best defensive outfielder when you have the lead.

Sox making postseason would be one of the biggest surprises I’ve had as a sports fan.

Just saw a replay of tying hit. I think Peters gets him if he doesn’t bobble it.

Definitely a best of the worst in terms of pitch calling. Also, how the hell didn’t Hicks throw another splitter to Happ?

I hate the Cubs more than anyone, and that’s ridiculous

Cali has convinced me

Fedde

It’s more the question of what happened to his fastball though? Considering this is out of the pen. I would have thought he’d be at 97-98. We live in an era where Anthony Kay can hit 97 as a starter.
