This is the first time it's blown up on him in a while. I think him not being stretched out might be part of it. Once get got past 40 pitches, the command just went away. You could see it progressing that entire inning. He fell behind the first 2 hitters and got them out.

Whole season he did that in minors. He is destined to be a 2 inning max RP

Ump is awful damn

Doyle with a strikeout and a DP. He stinks.

Don't worry, next time he gets a hit you'll be hearing from the usual suspects.

Shouldn’t, go to Hicks

A lot of guys weak against RHP coming up for the Guardians. Not sure if I want to go with Hicks so early but I'm not totally against it either.

Playoff ball shouldn’t have an ump this bad calling balls and strikes.

Crowd should boo the ump that was horrible

How does an ump miss that lol

Ump is having a nightmare of a game

How are you a playoff umpire missing a pitch right down the middle?

This umpire... What is going on? You can't be this bad during a playoff game.

That was a strikeout, lol.

He knew ump is s%*# and would blow it - 4D Chess

If you wonder why the Sox have had some bad takes, consider the umpire's issues calling Messick's pitches

Both teams need to start using their challenges more often because he is brutal.

Too bad Teel blew one.

Messick has one 1 in inning max left at 78 pitches. Absolutely great job by the boys to keep working the count. They need more runs obviously, but its encouraging

Alright need a shutdown inning. Don't let Adell get on here

He’s been doing pretty good and plays excellent defense

Mune shook up Messick but Doyle let him off the ropes. No knock out punch.

78 pitches thru 4…….love it

Cuts both ways, because you also want to have them available late when the ump is this bad.

You should get extra in the postseason, like they do with manager's challenges

Dude, I’ve got one saved in my notepad to copy and paste when he gets a hit. May start a new thread praising him.

GIDP was unacceptable.

It is crazy, because most TDL hitters have yet to make an out yet for their respective teams.

440 foot bomb, 112 off the bat. That's the farthest Mune has hit a ball in a long time.

Mune hit 4 HRs in the last 10 games of the reg season, he's back
