NLDS Best of 5 GDST: Game 1 Dodgers @ Giants 9:37 EST

[HealthDream007]

Now or never for the Giants. Let's get some drama!

[Brownie19]

I want to see Max just start warming up and tell Roberts that he's coming in the f***ing game.

 

f*** yeah...here he comes!

[BTS]

1 out left!

[Jimcanuck]

oh he didn't go

 

what a bad call

[Stangstag]

Oh no... thats def not a swing. Brutal ending

[HealthDream007]

Awful check swing call ends the game. Completely unacceptable.

[Candy Maldonado]

Robo Umps for check swings!

[thatoneguy]

Holy f*** what an awful call.

[Jimcanuck]

wasn't even close actually.....

[Omar]

Umps deciding another game.

[Spanky99]

Kind of sad to see a check swing called to end a fantastic game like that.

[Stangstag]

Even on a borderline swing, in that situation you’d think the ump would say no and force a proper end to the AB.

 

But that wasn’t even really close

[Jimcanuck]

i swear the umpiring is killing the game, the San Fran fans and media are going to be batshit crazy

[HealthDream007]

Umpires screwed the Giants. Not just the game ending check swing call, but earlier in the game where it should have been 1st and 2nd 0 out. Instead it's a man on 1st and 1 out. Why? because the umpire called 2 strikes, 1 that wasn't remotely near the strike zone. Completely changed the game there.

[thatoneguy]

That such a terrible look for the league to end a great series/game like that. f*** that s***.

[philly30]

It wasn't even close to a swing!!

[John Balkabella]

I’m both a Jays and Dodger fan. Normally, I’d be through the roof, but I hated to see it end that way.

 

Both teams deserved better. Baseball deserved better.

 

My hat’s off to the Giants. They had a helluva year.

[Omar]

Umps notwithstanding, you can't go down looking in the bottom of the 9th. He should be taking his cuts.

[Stangstag]

He... didn’t?? Unless you’re talking about Wade Jr

[EdwinsParrot]

God damn that is f***ng brutal way to end a teams season. It wasnt even close smh.

You don't just stand there and swing at everything, That was not a good pitch to hit

[Omar]

Flores went down on a check swing. Take your cuts!

On the check? Max is praying someone chases that. Good AB to lay off. It’s hard enough to hit him the ump doesn’t need to help. I’ll never forget the Texas cardinals World Series. I think cards were down to their last strike from losing series 7 or 9 times…whatever. It blows the ump took that strike still left from the Giants.

[HealthDream007]

A classic game gets marred in the end by the umpires, such a shame.

[Omar]

two down, two strikes.......protect the plate

Nope....protect the plate.

That does not mean swing at everything, it was not close

[thatoneguy]

What? That pitch was a ball. Checking your swing on a ball is not a bad thing to do.

[HealthDream007]

Can you imagine if this had happened at the WS (Game 7)? Good lord.
