This umpire sucks big time

Yeah, if he continues to look this bad during the remainder of the season, he becomes a non-tender candidate. Not joking. I don't know how they could pay him what he'll get in Arb based on this season so far. He looks like he's lost it completely.  If anyone offers something decent, take it and run. 

He isn’t going to be non tendered 

Shields getting no help from the defense, no shock.  Omar is putting on a bad framing exhibition this inning.

totally, some good taste

Can’t take all the credit. I only do about half of the games like I said. Been a long time reader of the board and we just saw it the other night and tried to take request but I wasn’t allowed to post for 2 days. It’s a long season so we try to find ways to make it fun for us when it gets long. 

Sox making Leblanc look like Cy Young!

I know, because he shouldn't be this bad for the remainder of the season But if he is this bad, they have a tough choice on their hands.

WTF ARE YOU SWINGING AT???????????????????

Taking strikes, swinging at balls from almost all of them. Makes you wonder about their game plan.  As for Abreu, he can't get traded soon enough.

He’ll hit .400 in August and September for the Sox.

Well of course, garbage time baby

I'll wager a sandwich we get a runner in scoring position this inning.

He has had excellent years and now having a tough go. Reminds me of some of the years Konerko struggled. It sucks but he will continue to work hard to get straightened out. We can survive after all it’s not like we are competing for a championship 

someone needs to get thrown out.

LOL, Moncada fucked over yet again

Absurd.

Another awful called 3rd strike..

Now this is just some fucking bullshit. Get out there Ricky. Wimp. 

Poor Moncada. 

Twice...this is becoming like a baseball-wide conspiracy against Moncada.

This x infinity. 

Moncada gets rung up again on a pitch clearly out of the strike zone. Shields is getting squeezed by this home plate ump who is calling balls on pitches clearly strikes and our hitters get screwed the other way 

It's to the point where the Sox need to make a stink about it to MLB.  I can't remember another player getting fucked over this badly constantly.

Season high in K’s, because...of course!

No shit, I've been saying that since late May. This is a fucking pattern. It is like the umps have it out for him. 

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