GDT(3/3): Toronto Blue Jays @ Los Angeles Angels - Stroman vs. Wilson - 3:35 PM ET

[Deadpool]

New York Guy 1: "The Jays are calling again..."

New York Guy 2: "Wait, that Canadian team? Haven't they got the hint yet?"

New York Guy 1: "I know, most people that get trolled this consistently give up long before this..."

[sh3156]

Jesus. Nothing but incompetence in New York. Inexcusable. The evidence is in front of their eyes.

 

Not incompetence, bias

[Anemic0ffense]

Conspiracy

[Terminator]

This is frustrating. I'd like to hear an explanation on this one.

[KingKat]

Sorry you've completely lost me but that's o.k. Kind of bored with the conversation anyways.

 

Upon re-reading I guess what you're saying is something along the lines of absence of evidence does not equal evidence of absence. I really don't see why that would change the decision process in the slightest but if you want to split hairs that's fine.

[DickeyJohnsonWang]

they need to rethink their protocol. Or get more camera angles to make calls more conclusive.

[Candy Maldonado]

Bautista pissed off the video review umps.

They can suck it up and do their f***ing jobs...

 

Unless they were told in no uncertain terms by the umpires union "don't overturn too many calls, you can't have umpires looking bad!"

 

That wouldn't shock me at all.

Same, but I'm sure it would just be "it wasn't conclusive" and that would be the end of it.

[Terminator]

They need to define what conclusive evidence means. Right now it seems that if it's a really close play they stick with the original call.

[intentional wok]

They'll hedge this ******** with a work-in-progress excuses, which doesn't even remotely explain why black and white calls don't get made correctly.

[Iluvbjs]

This replay system is a complete joke. I also have a huge problem yet again with Reyes there. When you get up from third and are told to go home, you hustle. He was not running anywhere near full bore there and he turns around to look at where the ball is, the tries to turn up the speed. I see no hustle in this guy when he needs it. It's why I have a problem with his cockiness.....he doesn't hustle or play the game hard enough to earn that right. He plays it more like he takes it for granted. An arrogance that has no place on a team that wants to win. I literally can't stand him.

[Anemic0ffense]

All of that and 0 runs lol

[Candy Maldonado]

lol 3 hits no runs

[Governator]

This is insane... don't get me wrong brutal by Reyes for jogging in and not diving in hard but what... the.. f***.

[Terminator]

Christ almighty. So frustrating to get ZERO runs that inning because of a s*** review call.

[Iluvbjs]

Is that MLB history right there? I'd love to see Carson dig up on that one. 3 hits, 2 errors, but don't score a single run? Shopuld've scored at least 2 and still be at bat had reyes hustled on that play period.

"If the Blue Jays don't make the playoffs,then the Yankees and "Jeter's final run" have a better chance. It's better for the game and the fans."

 

Bud Selig..

[Terminator]

What luck. The ball bounces right back to the fielder, the ump on the field makes the wrong call on a close play, and the review is totally botched. Any of those go the other way and we get multiple runs that inning.

[Inklink]

Something fishy is going on in New York with regards to Jays reviews.

[MrMariusz]

STAY CALM. Stroman has got this one.

 

No jinx intended.

I'd be slightly shocked if Bud Selig knew there were teams other than the Yankees.

Good game calling by Thole thus far

Luck? You mdon't leave the game to luck. If that were a player who hustles his ass off, like Kawasaki for instance, that's an automatic run. It was a bad review call, but it only went to review cos Reyes took it for granted and didn't run as he should. I mean why the f*** turn around to see where the ball is? Run your ass off, do your JOB and get to home plate as quickly as you can and it doesn't f***ing matter where the ball is.

Nothing fishy, simple bias. Its called Racism.

 

Minorities know it well

[admin]

I could be way off-base here, but I don't know, I get this strange feeling of almost expecting the Jays to win everytime Stroman is out there. Is that just me? Never had that feeling about Buehrle, or Morrow, or Romero at any point. Come to think of it, I haven't had that feeling about a pitcher since Halladay.

 

I'm not saying that I expect him to be that good this early on, but it's just a random instinctive feeling I get everytime I see him as the probable pitcher. It's probably just me.

 

You mean the feeling we are supposed to have with Dickey?

[Abomination]

It's early, but Stroman looks locked in. Keeping the ball down and on the corners.

The throw would have beaten him to the plate even if he was going full bore, that lucky bounce is what killed the play.

 

Yes, he should have hustled more, but I doubt it would have made a difference.

Because he doesn't trust Rivera, who has already gotten 8-10 runners out at home this year due to poor calling. That might be a reaosn
