    There goes Will again, trying to lose a game again on purpose with his lineups. Wait a second...

  • Finally someone besides Romo gets it done. More of that guys...Drew can't carry you bums forever.

    Will does a lot of great things but burning the bench too early is a bad habit he has. It's a 4-4 game in the 6th, you have a decent chance of going to extras. Stop blowing up your bench too early.

lol please no. Not in a 1 run game.

Really sucks we had to use the top bullpen guys on Friday when we were up 5. Might cost us today.

Yeaa….weve seen how that story goes unfortunately

This game has been too close to lose your good lefty batters halfway through the game. I just hope the bullpen can save it; otherwise this one will be on Venable and his ridiculous love of platooning.

Omg this umpire

Someone has to have a talk with him, he didn’t learn a thing in Boston.

Cmon ump….newcomb no walks

Newcomb seems to have lost his release point.

You just can’t walk guys in a late close crucial game.

this bullpen is a nightmare man, seems like at least 75% of the time in late close situations, they can't get these dudes out without base runners, even when they're facing the bottom of the order

Not sure they actually got him, let's see.

Gonna let this thing slip away right here aren’t we…

Safe by a lot

Ha that wasn't even close, 1st base ump.

He's safe. These umps have blown

umpiring all around has been horrific

Clearly safe at first

safe lol

This might be the worst umpired game I’ve ever seen. And I don’t think I’m exaggerating.

Are these umpires literally blind, so many bad calls. Probably all hung over, what else is there to do in Detroit on a Saturday night but tip a few or 8.

Edited by The Mighty Mite

So when MLB grades umpires, they basically forgive any miss that is with .75" of being correct. By that standard, home plate ump is at about 94% correct today. Average full-time ump is 96.8%, so certainly a below average game. If you give no margin for error, he's at 90.1% relative to 93.5% average. Bad game although it looks like he's been somewhat victimized by having to make a lot of relatively close calls. And it looks a little worse because his misses aren't that predictable.
