Umpiring this year has been awful

Did Ventura even come out and argue and ask the ump to get help?

 

Also bullpen and clutch hitting are gone.

 

Resting the pen in Texas seems to have ended their mojo.

bad call... but runner wouldnt have been out so inning would have continued.

Of course he did.

 

Bottom line was Albers made a huge mistake way ahead in the count and that was the game. Back on track tomorrow

How come other teams replay every f***ing thing imaginable and get every review they ask for and we can't do s***?

162 game season. No reason to dwell on 1

Times like this the Sox could use the leadership of Drake LaRoche

Totally understand what you are saying but it isn't just one. it is the last 6 or so games. We are in a funk and we need to get out of it quickly

i wish our guys had that TWTW

So Springer goes back to first and Gattis still hits the bomb out of here. Sox lose still, right?

Any batter or runner who has just been put out, or any

runner who has just scored, hinders or impedes any fol-

lowing play being made on a runner. Such runner shall be

declared out for the interference of his teammate

 

From MLB rulebook. I don't see why that doesn't apply. A strikeout is a putout.

Batter would have called out for the third out.

Interference is not reviewable.

See above.

I was less mad when I didn't think he was out. Another disgraceful umpiring effort

Yeah if that's the case, that's super f***ed.

Balls and strikes are calls you have to make right away and are made by millimeters. I get pissed at bad calls but can forgive.

 

This interference was so blatant that I can't let it go easily.

Not one, but two. That loss in Texas ....

Literally every Chicago writer/beat reporter is saying that the base runner would have just went back to first. Reading the rule seems to indicate to me he would have been out, what am I missing here?

7.09 (a) - It is interference by a batter or runner when:

After a third strike he clearly hinders the catcher in his attempt to field the ball. Such batter-runner is out, the ball is dead, and all other runners return to the bases they occupied at the time of the pitch;

The media is clueless in just about everything.

I'm not so sure. It's nice to see the lineup still have some fight in them when the pen goes into mental midget mode.

 

Last year in a game like this, down 2 the guys just wanted to leave.

And just to clarify. In the case of Correa, since he was already out, he can't be called out again. So because he interfered with the throw, the base runner would be called out.

I can't recall getting screwed by umpiring so much in one season. Especially this early.

At the very least the umps should have huddled and talked about it, but nothing
