    He has a .938 OPS with 7 HR, 7 2B and 18 RBI In his past 25 games.

    Whatever, I just laid out the facts and tried to help after you have shown difficulty understanding a few basic moves in this series. I'd gladly debate it further if you had anything to add but snarky remarks, but I'll just take that as an admission of ignorance.
  3. Grant77
    Well for one thing, left handed batters have a .482 SLG against him.

    A force play can mean the difference between a hit and an out on certain ground balls. You'll see it come into play every game or two as you watch more baseball. Logic and statistical analysis make it an automatic move in most situations, especially with the men at the plate and a pitcher that walks very few batters. Buck and Pat brought it up, so did Zaun after the game. Franconia ignored the new age stats and the old school logic for a gut feeling. I can't support that. He made a mistake before Saunders even hit that double.
  5. Grant77
    What don't you understand about the logic? I notice you've had trouble understanding a few basic moves in the last couple of games. Saunders is a bad matchup for Hunter with a good matchup on deck, 2 outs, run on first doesn't mean much, sets up a force at any base. It's the obvious play, hope that clears things up for you in the future.
  6. Grant77
    Gibbons hasn't done anything as stupid as Franconia not walking Saunders for a long time, but we'll continue to think that he's the worst manager in the league.

    ~50% of them will support an open racist that is also extremely xenophobic. They can't play the ignorance card, he's the only thing on the news.
  8. Grant77
    Carapazza should see a longer suspension than that. Systematic bias is not acceptable in this sport. I don't even mean the balls and strikes.
  9. Grant77
    They are almost all like that, it is well deserved. Go there and talk to people or look at how many people support Trump before you disagree.

    There have been more than 250 Canadians in MLB and never a single umpire, despite Canadian umpires being held in high regard on the world stage and obviously qualified for the position. That should tell you everything you need to know about MLB's umpiring institution. Also. I'll chip in for the guy's bail.
  11. Grant77
    Disgraceful umpiring, needs to see discipline, etc.
  12. Grant77
    You simply can't blame the hitters for this game. I hate to use the old cliché, but anyone who has played this game knows that it is damn near impossible to hit when the umpire is set on screwing you. Look at Russ Martin, look at Eddy, listen to what Zaun said. It's so, so difficult.
  13. Grant77
    That game is over about 5 times if Carapazza isn't the home plate umpire. Simply disgusting.
  14. Grant77
    I'm proud of how we battled either way. Umpiring has clearly cost us the win multiple times.
  15. Grant77
    I have a lot of admiration and respect for Bo Schultz after that performance.
  16. Grant77
    Quit criticizing Schultz. You can't expect much more from your 7th man in the 'pen.
  17. Grant77
    It was the right situation, the right batter, and the right pitch. You have to adapt to the situation and make the right call. Barney gets that ball on the ground at a very high percentage.
  18. Grant77
    Clown Carapazza making the game about him again.
  19. Grant77
    It was 1-1 when I said it.
  20. Grant77
    Game over if they did the squeeze on 1-1, perfect pitch.
  21. Grant77
    Suicide squeeze please please
  22. Grant77
    How is it that we don't bunt in pretty much the only situation where we should?
  23. Grant77
    My god, if we had a Thole walk off...
  24. Grant77
    God this is killing me. I want more than anything to see Carapazza walk dejectedly off of the field after failing to get his desired outcome. I want the fans to serenade him with insults. I want him to feel like a failure when he goes home. The effect on the standings is secondary. It would be such a huge moral victory.
  25. Grant77
    You know there's more than just bad calls at play when Russ freaks out like that. This is personal. Vic Carapazza has been out to get us from the beginning. He's such a disgusting piece of s*** and a disgrace to baseball.
