McGonigle has been a pest this series.

He’s gonna be a problem for the next decade.

God the umping this series has been awful. Another missed call.

did you see the two major incidents this weekend? one ump refused a challenge, even though the hitter tapped his helmet immediately after the call, and another umpire was issued a challenge (ball out of the zone), the ABS showed it was a ball, the umpire said nah that's a strike, you lose your challenge

my god how many popouts can we hit.

Infield pop ups galore today

Is it a rule that they have to put the first pitch in play? 5 pitch inning with 3 pop ups. Bleah.

3 popups for outs this inning? That sucks.

yea the 2nd one apparently was an ABS official issue. How he looks at that and says it's a strike is beyond me but it happened. Ump was just relaying it.

Pretty odd watching Romo's tick behind the plate after a pitch is thrown.

What’s his tick?

Umps are instructed to deny challenges if they think the player is getting guidance from the dugout, which I believe was the case in the first situation

Burke's heater is nasty

So if someone in the dugout yells "Challenge that", the ump can deny the challenge?

100%. And that's the way it has to be.

I don’t get this southpaw birthday stuff… according to google his debut was June 13th, 2004.

Burke is doing great, come on offense pick it up.

Absolutely- I want nothing of even a slimmer of the Trashtros in baseball.

Burke is dealing. Let's put up some runs.

He was born before he debuted

Anybody read lips? What did Burke say walking off the mound

Just get rid of southpaw. I know this organization is corny but a fuzzy green mascot for the sox makes no sense

This is pathetic. He's throwing a perfect game honestly. That hit was an error.

Can we make this guy work a little more? This is like me playing the Show.

The movement on his slider is insane right now.
