Buck and Tabby will be jerking each other off for the next 3 hours because Vlad hit a 65 MPH dribbler through the hole after being really late on a 3-2 fastball.
PUKE.
Exactly - as happens in almost all unions, equality and inclusion are deemed more important than performance.
Why would any umpire go above and beyond to get better when Angel and Joe West still have jobs and get playoff assignments.
If Brantley was on this team, then either Vlad is playing 3rd (with Tellez on 1st) or Panik is in our starting lineup. Semien with Tellez/Grichuk combo at DH is vastly superior.
