ALCS Series GDT: Houston Astros vs. Boston Red Sox

[5ToolPhenom]

Man, that call was criminal. Betts was clearly reaching over the fence.

 

MLB just has a boner for the idea of the Red Sox facing the Dodgers in the World Series.

[DigitalRock]

Bunting is stupid.

[Atlas]

Like I said...based on THAT pic. What pic did you see? I’d love to see it.

 

Saw the side angle shot of the security guard blocking the view too.

 

But doesn’t this feel like the “Bat Flip” game? I mean, there’s no way the Astros aren’t going to let those first two Boston runs be the difference now?

[Atlas]

Although...based on that bunt....sheesh!

[Omar]

Kemp is s***.

[DigitalRock]

All sox so far in Houston. This blows.

Yep. Astros are lucky it is so early in the game however if they end up losing by a run.....

Joe Wests chin scares me.

Has nothing to with bias, has to do with the stupid way that replays are handled. Checking to see if the call on the field is correct is stupid, because umps are stupid and make wrong calls all the time. Had it been called a HR on the field, the replay would also be inconclusive and it would have stood as a HR

 

They should only look to verify 100% if the batter/runner is conclusively out. If they can't he's safe.

[5ToolPhenom]

Maldanado has money on the Sox... Man, he's been TERRIBLE this series... I thought he was known for his defense.

Yeah, it's ridiculous. West was in no position to possibly say whether there was interference or not. Whatever his call was should've been meaningless once they went to the review.

 

Bottom line, it was a crap call. Something that shouldn't be tolerable in the playoffs.

[Omar]

 

 

[DigitalRock]

Springer loves the post season.

[Abomination]

Maldonado with another easy f***up, what is with elite defensive catchers being s*** in this postseason?

 

It's happening with so many, I feel like there may be something different with the balls.

[DigitalRock]

Yuli sucks.

[Atlas]

Tie game....whole new game now

[Orgfiller]

It's actually pretty unbelievable that they called that interference, ridiculous.

It is...I dont understand why MLB is do bad at this.

[TheHurl]

wow another bad call

[DigitalRock]

Another bad call on the Sox favour.

[Orgfiller]

The umps are giving the Red Sox everything.

plexiglass all around the stadium.

[thatoneguy]

This inning should be over.

[Orgfiller]

Now that was an unreal throw, what a missile.

[DigitalRock]

Great throw.

[Omar]

Better umpires in the stadium.

You'd think that MLBAM would be able to create better camera angles to catch every angle. I suppose that would quickly make it no longer a billion dollar asset as that would be expensive with no actual return. But still their angles are s***.

[BigCecil]

Seem to remember a certain bearded fan reaching into the playing area in KC in 2015 ALCS on a ball hit by Moose - called a home run anyway.

 

So if its closer to a catch on the ball its an out? According to West's eyes and MLB.

Meh, no ump is going to get to the perfect angle on that one. He is right that the fan hit the glove...Let the camera angles decide if the fan is over the fence.
