KevinGregg Verified Member Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 ******** call but realistically he would have just grooved a fastball on the next pitch for a strikeout anyways
BTS Community Moderator Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 That was a classic umpshow moment. Umpire was mad that Stripling had no intention of swinging at anything remotely close, and rang him up on a pitch he likely knew was outside.
glory Old-Timey Member Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 Don't even bother testing out robo umps in the minors. Just implement the technology today and work out the kinks as the season progresses. Seriously can't be worse than what we are seeing nowdays.
DigitalRock Old-Timey Member Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 ******** call but realistically he would have just grooved a fastball on the next pitch for a strikeout anyways You never know, pitches get walked . There is no reason in 2021, for balls to be called strikes.
Stangstag Old-Timey Member Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 It really is, people still defend this is idiotic on so many levels. But muh tradishins. LETS JUST LET EVERY POSITION HAVE A DH MIRITE
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 The sooner the robo umps come the better.
KevinGregg Verified Member Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 You never know, pitches get walked . There is no reason in 2021, for balls to be called strikes. Agreed 100%, just saying I was outraged til I realized the probable marginal loss from that missed call
DigitalRock Old-Timey Member Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 Bo has looked better at SS lately.

Even if the tech is off, it would be consistently off, not at random calls throughout the game.

Orgfiller Old-Timey Member Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 ******** call but realistically he would have just grooved a fastball on the next pitch for a strikeout anyways If he wanted to groove a fastball down the middle he would have done so with 2 strikes, sometimes the pitcher gets psyched out when the guy at the plate has no intention of swinging. It's not a good enough reason for that garbage of a call.
gruber92 Old-Timey Member Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 Bo has looked better at SS lately. Ever since he changed to throwing side arm. I think that's who he is naturally is but was asked to try and convert to over the top because it's a harder throw. I think throwing side arm sets him in a comfort level all around, and feels that he can make up for the less velocity with a quicker release. Thats just my take.
DigitalRock Old-Timey Member Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 Another bogus strike call, changes the entire AB.
Slyfisher Verified Member Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 Just keep the game close Stripling and we'll steal another win in the late innings!
DigitalRock Old-Timey Member Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 Gurriel is so bad right now. He reaches for everything.
Slyfisher Verified Member Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 Gurriel looks like he's trying harder at the plate today.. Guess that talk with Montoyo's got him more focused.. Let's hope
glory Old-Timey Member Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 I'm curious to see what the umpire grade for the HP ump will be after this game. I'm following on Gameday, and it seems like a lot of calls are wrong. More than the usual incompetence by HP umps.
max silver Old-Timey Member Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 Good to see Stripling locked in after the rocky start. Just gotta keep the game close so we can see some more late game heroics.
G-Snarls Community Moderator Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 Stripling has struck out 7 of the last 10 Didn't see THAT coming after the first inning
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 Good to see Stripling locked in after the rocky start. Just gotta keep the game close so we can see some more late game heroics. He's been good since the 2nd out of the game.
G-Snarls Community Moderator Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 He's been good since the 2nd out of the game. Pitching so well Charlie is letting him hit here
BTS Community Moderator Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 Is everyone enjoying watching Stripling hit?
Orgfiller Old-Timey Member Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 Is everyone enjoying watching Stripling hit? It's the strategy that's really doing it for me.
DigitalRock Old-Timey Member Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 Bucks drunk, it was right field buck lol.
