[Stangstag]

Ooof that was a bad ball 4 call to Kirk there

[Blazeit420]

Springer's hair is barely holding on.

 

My prayers go out to him.

[JFD]

Not a strike lol

[BTS]

lmao that strike 1 call to espinal

[JFD]

Umps love being the talk of the town. It's all about them

[John_Havok]

Dang, dont see Espinal chase that pitch very often

[JFD]

yikes at that swing

[Scion]

Dang, dont see Espinal chase that pitch very often

 

The way this game is being called I have a hard time blaming any of these hitters.

[Acemeister79]

I’ll stir the pot… The reason these useless umps are never taken to task is because, like many POS workers, they’d are protected by unions. That’s reality.

[Kordesi]

Umps love being the talk of the town. It's all about them

 

Yeah - to think they get paid really well and like any other professional do decent work. Ok you may get the odd one wrong from time to time but this consistently miscalls is just shocking

[Stangstag]

Oh man that pitch was meaty

[John_Havok]

Tapia the double play machine is one deck even if Springer reaches

[John_Havok]

Had to swing at that, it was gonna be strike 3 called either way.

[Jonn]

Tapia hitting infront of Bo and Vlad. Jesus H. Christ

[BigCecil]

Perfect pitch to K Springer.

[Deadpool]

Tapia needs to get on here, so Bo can get out and Vladdy can end the game in the on-deck circle again.

[John_Havok]

Perfect pitch to K Springer.

 

Only due to umping incompetence all game. Had correct calls been made all game long he probably lets that go and takes a walk.

[JFD]

Tapia is actually swinging for the fence lol

[JFD]

Worst game of the season

[Buster]

I have two questions:

 

1. Why do I have to watch Tapia play? Is he really the best option for that role on the planet? Really?

2. What do we do with Ryu now that the junk baller is just junk.

[glory]

Horrible umpiring legit cost the Jays a game here. No excuse not to have robo umps whenever Manfred can unilaterally make changes.

[Spanky99]

Well, that ballgame was PAIN!!!

[JFD]

[bzapple]

I'm so glad we batted one of our worst hitters leadoff to guarantee him more at bats.

[JFD]

[Grant77]

Maybe players like Tapia shouldn't hit at the top of the lineup.

[EdwinsParrot]

Imagine an mlb manager actually thinking tapia leadoff is a good idea. Lucky us.

[TheHurl]

came here for the whining...then I remembered I'm a mod.

[Omar]

When the umpire influences the outcome to this degree it just diminishes the sport as whole. An embarrassment for mlb.

[Abomination]

Well, good news everyone. Now you can switch over to watching the Raptors get screwed by the refs.
