mmmmmbeeer

She’s proven herself to be awful. There’s nothing merit-based about a person coming up to the majors, be it in St or reg season, and consistently blowing calls. She missed an obvious check swing tonight, too….wasn’t even close. She/he/they/ are fucking awful at their job, man. The Twins were out of challenges. The crew chief thought another look was warranted. How often do we see that happen?

So she just shits the bed in the majors? That crew chief review absolutely screwed us. And I can’t help but feel that wouldn’t have been called if not for her being at 1b.

I saw her in ST and the teams were f’n livid with her when she was behind the plate. There was another game earlier this season where she was f’n up balls and strikes, too. Merit my ass.

Because it’s that shitty female umpire who has no business being an MLB ump. There’s some irony to Sam being called last week for intentionally dropping a line drive and then this happening tonight.

Good dub. We need that Kay more often.

Arm side miss after arM side miss. Repeat.

Has he thrown a breaking ball for a strike? Throw the heater, man.

Defensive Communication seems to be a real issue on this team. Ya know, the s%*# you learn when you’re 6yo playing tee ball.

Missing the cutoff man is an inexcusable error for a bubble player. Good riddance.

Sometimes a guy just needs to do his job. That s%*# is on Fedde to get through 3 2/3 today. Brutal schedule coming up so can’t burn through the pen to baby your 4/5 starter who is no longer an MLB caliber pitcher. You lose the game you lose the game…bailing him out there could cost you multiple games due to a depleted pen.

Gets us out of the game, not the jam.

Sunglasses?

I think Leasure gets out of this. I don’t know why, but I do.

Just grooving them. F’n bum.

I mean, it’s not like any other lefties are hitting that dude. You can’t see the ball until it’s leaving his hand.

I think we’re out of this inning if Kelenic hit the cutoff. Would’ve been set up to turn two which may have plugged the hole Chapman hit through. bad ABs, bad defense, bad decisions. Just a bad ball player.

God I can’t wait until that bum of off this team.

Didn’t it have something to do with pickoffs?

I would’ve beaned Naylor. Play bushleague games, get bushleague results.

And the fact the 3b coach waved him as soon as that interference call was made makes me 100% believe that’s a play in the Mariners’ bag of tricks.

Is one of the runner’s legs longer than the other? In no normal route was Sam in the way. It was bushleague bullshit and the fucking umps awarded it (after JUST fucking Sam for what could be called bushleague bullshit (if the drop was intentional)).

Glue guys have places on MLB rosters, as long as their production is positive. Both Chase and Sam, early in their careers, are showing themselves to be competent MLB ball players. We aren’t in the locker room, but even from the outside it’s clear that the two of them are part of the team’s core personality. We made fun of Hawk for his TWTW theory, but there is something to it. If they can’t carry their weight, I’m with you. But it’s clear Getz and team value bringing in the right people as much as they value bringing in the right players.

I live down in ATL and went to the Cubs Braves finale tonight. They took over Truist…it was crazy. I hate that they’re leaving here on a high note. Had the Braves swept them, they may have been more vulnerable this weekend. Sidenote…having grown up in Chicagoland, I always despised the Cubs. I haven’t lived up there since 1994, so a lot of that Cub hate has been diminished. Until tonight, that is. Their fans are as awful as I remember from back in the day. I did enjoy the sCrUB fan behind me who, to describe a Braves player hitting .146, said the guy is “hitting one and a half”. Who says that?

The boys win again. What else is new?

Pretty sweet transparency from the org. Insert the overused "that escalated quickly" gif.
