I like how the La Russa apologists have identified themselves via avatar.

It isn't about his feelings,  lol.  Seriously?  

So what about the rest of my post? I've never understood that weird logic about "protecting" people who've already been tossed. Its fucking futile. 

Danny is not good.  Tony having a sub par day!

Hamilton, Collins and Mendick couldn’t have collectively looked more anemic in their efforts in the top of the 6th. 

Hot take guy, are u not entertained!?

Burr should tell that ump how he really feels after the substance check. 

They might want to have the 1st and 3rd base umpires do this substance check if it continues to stick. We're going to see some ejections because of it eventually lol.

And that's why we get continually one of the worst strike zones in all of baseball. 

Okay. If you really think we get bad zones because old man LaRussa doesnt shout enough, then I dont know what to tell you. 

Yes, umpires are deliberately fucking the Sox over because they know no one will yell at them. 

These are professionals we are talking about. Your logic still makes zero sense dude.

It sets a tone for the rest of the game. Hell it isn't like Tony does anything during a game anyway.

Cmon, you really think bitching at the ump will get use a better strike zone? Not a chance. The reason we have a "strike zone" issue is because Collins is horrendous at framing and pulls pitches off the plate.

If you don't think there is a mental aspect to this game, I don't know what to tell you.

Hallion is just a trash umpire in general.

What about the tone of this entire season? This game isnt over. It's still very close. I think we all trust that our team is going to give it everything they have no matter what.

You might be on to something if Collins caught every day, but Grandal,  who is a top notch framer gets the majority of the reps.

Nice inning by Fry

Yelling at the ump will endear them to your favor.  Now I've heard it all.

Yowza 7 runs against this lineup? I pray we don’t have to see Dallas pitch in the playoffs again this year.

Well what we've been doing is clearly working. 

Show em respect and they show us none.

Well sitting quietly in a corner of the dugout has gotten us literally one of the worst strike zones in baseball this year.  Working great there.

#1, it shouldn't have taken Katz getting tossed to wake him up.

#2, Once Katz did get tossed, Tony should have done enough to join him. You could see Burr was still visibly upset after the inning.  Protect your guy.

Lol give it a rest this just keeps getting more ludicrous.  The other umps are going to Gove us more calls because TLR yelled at their co-workers prior?  Come on this is peak meathead take.

Dallas has no place on the playoff roster if our top 4 starters are healthy. Unless he fixes his control issues, he shouldn't start a playoff game and Cease would be a better long reliever than him.
