No shit. Criticize the umps Hahn. and take your fine. It is for the good of the team and Moncada. 

usually full counts too where you SHOULD BE REWARDED for not expanding your zone.

This may sound ridiculous but you could honestly argue that 15% or so of Moncada's strikeouts were due to horrible calls 

more like 20-25% but 15% Easily. 

I'm starting to become convinced that Moncada banged an ump's daughter on a road trip or something. There is no other thing I can think of that could make this sort of consistency with called third strikes that aren't close to the plate.(the previous comment is obviously sarcasm)  It doesn't matter where they are, or who's the home plate umpire it seems to happen at least one game per series where he gets fucked over like this.

Yep except it would probably backfire by causing umps to screw him even more.  He looked like he felt helpless after the last one, so good to see Ricky sitting on his ass.

Shields pitching great. Easily could have a shutout going with a competent defense.

Someone had to do it

Ricky is such a horrible manager. I never thought I'd want Ozzie back because I despised him, but now I realize how good he was. He'd  be perfect for this team. Too bad he burned that bridge to the ground and pissed on the ashes. Ozzie really knew how to handle a pitching staff, and he also knew when to go get his ass tossed.  Ozzie wouldn't have had a second thought about holding the Umps accountable. Renteria is chicken shit.

I really like Omar offensively but man he needs to work on his defensive side... 

Turning Yolmer around to bat lefty?  Strange managing by Servais

Here comes the Sox bullpen to make their mark

Every throw Delmonico makes into the infield is garbage. He looks very bad all around tonight.

Minaya throws hard but we see to many HBP, walks and wild pitches. Can’t put away the hitter with two strikes and Mariners score another run

I never thought Nicky was a good OFer

Pretty sure the Moonstars stole Abreu's ability

Looks like another great pitching performance completely wasted.

Just a horrible effort by the offense

Nice eye for Yoan

Solid contact, not even close to a homer.

That was a good AB though

That would've been a 4 walk game for Yoan if those 3-2 pitches were called correctly. 

Really not a fan of the flickering lights after a win that some teams have taken to. Hope the Sox don't jump on that bandwagon.

You just made @greg775 cream his pants

The Sox have to get hot pretty soon or their playoff chances will fly out the window.
