GDT (3/4) Toronto Blue Jays @ Los Angeles Angels - 3:37 PM

[TBJ12]

Is there any rule that says that your delivery has to be identical every time though? There shouldn't be anything wrong with making your delivery a bit quicker as long as there's no illegal move being performed or stopping in the middle of the windup.

 

This. At least we know why the put the clock in now

[King]

exactly... over zealous ump seeing something he's probably never seen in the minors.

Can we stop this now?

[Orgfiller]

Batter was set...worst call I have seen. The umpire got tricked into thinking he wasn't ready is the only reasonable suggestion...which still proves he has no business umpiring

 

If this is the worst call you've ever seen then you clearly haven't watched a lot of baseball. There's no need to be so reactionary.

because we know the worst call was the Kelly Gruber triple play that was missed

It's the worst call I've seen this year by far. None of us watch as much baseball as you though.....

No one should be blaming an umpire for actually enforcing the rules of the game. The question here is whether the call was warranted and the rule was properly applied, not whether the ump is trying to show off to his other ump buddies.

 

Come on o2.

[fatcowxlive]

Stroman down well so far, offence pick up the slack plz

It wasn't the right call though. I'm done with this now, but don't understand why people are defending a call I'm not sure anyone here has ever witnessed before.

[West Texas Forever]

Guys stop getting off track here. The real question is, can Goins stick?

I doubt any of the other umps make that call. how many times have we seen Stroman do exactly that and not have a call made?

 

 

he was over zealous.

It's a GDT right?...so there is a need to be so reactionary lol....its a terrible incorrect call either way

[Orgfiller]

Who says I'm defending the call? I don't agree with this being an illegal quick pitch.

[King]

Good on the ump for knowing the rule I guess.

 

I disagree with it too. I really don't think he makes the call if Calhoun doesn't take his bat off his shoulders and walks away during the middle of the pitch.

[Daniel Labude]

At single A he has a chance

[West Texas Forever]

Bautista's hips don't lie.

[King]

[TBJ12]

 

Ump clearly ready for pitch. No idea why Calhoun dropped bat.

[Effit]

This is depressing. The excitement of a new season is long gone and it's still April.

[TBJ12]

This ump is a disaster.

[Bobthe4th]

Stroman efficient so far, only 60 pitches

[o2cui2i]

home plate ump asleep at the wheel again

[o2cui2i]

Stroman is dealing. hope the offense can get it's s*** together

[TBJ12]

Anyone want to continue defending this clueless ump? Gibby should be playing this under protest.

[Jonn]

Stroman efficient so far, only 60 pitches

 

Outside of BABIP f***ing him hes been outstanding. That was his best inning. Dominating Trout, Pujols, and Cron.

[Daniel Labude]

Hopefully the offense can pick up here and actually score some runs

[el duque]

I like Jose but now he should not be hitting third

[BlueJays]

Lol Bautista

[saskjayfan]

jose going deep here

[Bobthe4th]

Bautista, smh

[fatcowxlive]

Stroman efficient so far, only 60 pitches

 

Same story as a couple of starts ago, he'll go 9 innings and lose 1-0 lol
