Ump making up for all the times sox were screwed by them this year

Wow

Lucky break

Bummer, cmon you got this. It's all mental for him

Man I just wanted Mercedes to blast one over that 420 ft center field wall and shut those tiger fans up

I'm sure the umpires are thinking that right now

Remember in the other gamethread where someone called him washed up after his 2nd AB of the season? Good times.

I know...but I'm on the eastern timezone haha. I gotta work at 5:30 am, tough to stayup past 10:00. So I'm a bit more concerned than probably the average Sox fan.

I absolutely LOVE how pumped the bullpen gets after they get the final out in the late innings of these tightly contested ballgames. Gives me the tinglies. I effing hate how late these games go though. They seriously need to strongly consider starting at least at 6:30 central, next season. 6:00ish would be ideal.

We have no Robert, no Eloy, no Madrigal, and Grandal is sitting, yet this lineup STILL looks formiddable. Good Lord.

His pitches have real good movement tonight and he is spotting them well

Benetti: With Madrigal gone, will we get Leury 2 strikes Stone: Well that would be shocking Lmao

Yeah, tell that to the umpires that throw bats at our guys.

This is insane. Absolutely insane.

True, but should make for entertaining play, as they are the best team in the AL record-wise.

I swear this shit always happens right before I make plans to go to a game.

How does one do this?

How much did you pay that umpire to throw the bat at Abreu?

Next time they pan the cameras along the dugout, look to see if Leury is sticking any dolls with needles.

Nice call!

Both

Mets announcer ripped into the umpires last night I believe, for botching replays as well as taking forever to get the wrong call.

I would love to not have the kzone graphics, live anyway. Maybe have them on for replays on questionable calls, but I liked it a lot better when they didn't have the zone up there.

I agree, umps should be micd up like football refs to explain the call.

It blows my mind how much the umpires continue to negatively insert themselves into the narrative.
