what the fuck is that strikezone?

An atrocious one

that Abreu groundout was 108.2 MPH

Terrible calls against Sox so far this season

Well no, but that call was horrible.

True but Jose still hit into a double play. 

The superimposed zone for tv is way off or yet another home plate ump has no fucking clue where the plate is...

Yeah this ump sucks. Meanwhile, why the hell is Grandal batting 4th still.

Cause Ricky loves switching the handedness of batters in the lineup. 

Five runs !!  Where??

ROBO/AI umps please.

Jesus, that was an inconsistent strike zone.   Both teams should be pissed, if it's going to be like that all night.

I'm sure Keuchel will take that strike zone

They’ve all been huge so far. I have no idea what to make of this one though. 

balls and strikes have been a joke this year...

 

It's beyond time for electronic balls and strikes

It's the same as the one on mlb.com. This ump sucks. 

That awful call on the 2-1 pitch to José changed the entire inning. Also, Jose did it hard...can’t be upset with him. 

Whit Merrifield is one of the five most criminally underrated players in MLB.

elevate the ball.

LOL.

That first one to Mondesi was WAY low for a strike.

 

White Sox historically bad defense the last 5 years coming under attack by Royals' announcers.   Who'd a thunk it.   Comparing to 2013-2016 Royals' teams, that's a pretty tough standard to live up to.

That's been Jose's issue forever. He hits the ball hard, just not always at the right launch angle.

Were you saying that to Robert yesterday on his clutch two out hit in the 9th a couple days ago?

Exactly 

You think Adam Engel made it clear to Robert that he's not Leury...RF is mine big fella

Well that was easy

Boring Keuchel innings are one of my new favorite things

Abreu 0-8 RISP this year.  Middle of the order has been one giant rally killer.

123 1st for Keuchel!
