I mean here you have a tight game and the umpires have to remind you that their present at the game. It's really astounding in this sport that they can't help it but interject themselves. 

That's true in every sport.

I would have Jace in to start the inning actually but we know he won’t be proactive 

Here you go

Good effort by Yolmer.

Agree in principle,however out of the 6 pitches he saw 5 were unhittable. What's he going to do? 

Sure, I'm not saying he sucks or anything. I was impressed with the way he worked the count, and It didn't help that he had to guard 3 inches outside the plate too, which is where strike 1 was. I just would have liked him to be a bit more aggressive there in a tight game. 

Bummer in the 6th?

Great play but did it look like Yolmer lollipopped that throw on the replay?

Yoan and Bummer in for Rondon and Nova

Moncada coming in???

Well done Ricky.

YoYO!

Not as much in this sport. I think the ego of umpires in this sport is far and beyond what it should be. I'm not sure a Joe West would be tolerated in the NFL or NBA. 

Moncada in at 3B.

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you but there are still 12 outs for them to get

Amazing scouting thinking Nova would be effective.  Giolito is saving this from being the worst starting staff I’ve ever seen.

Pretty amazing.

Failure is expected from the awful bottom of the order...

Rondon:  .567 OPS

Cordell:  .597 OPS

Sanchez:  .619 OPS

Cole Hamels OPSed 560 back in 2012 FWIW

Ever heard of Joey Crawford?

The Ump Show in MLB needs to die a brutal death.

I have to say putting in Moncada cold like this is not great for his back

Yeah, he may have lowered his ERA to 6.01 on the season if Bryant doesn’t cross the plate.  ?

Put Moncada in... right after Rondon got out? Wow Ricky that’s just brilliant 

Why would you pinch hit him for Rondon and then have to pinch hit the next inning?
