I found this post interesting and a bit more realistic than the conspiracy theories floating around.

I don't think it's BS. Westburg called off Mounty on a ball that's caught 99.999% of the time and he flubbed it. Inning should have been over, it's a shame they can't charge the runs to the offending player.

I'm on record saying that I think the Royals aren't for real this season, but when you have to play the Yankees you have to beat the umps and the team, and it's stupid. I'm looking forward to the series later this month.

Kind of sad that the biggest highlight of the Rays' night will be the ballboy making that great leaping snag.

Exactly right. It's crazy talk to act like there is some great grievance to be had if Burnes doesn't pitch against the Yankees in a game in June.

Right, that's what I said, the sleeve of the side of the batter facing the plate, so a LHB facing the plate gets a patch on his right arm, and a RHB facing the plate gets the patch on his left arm. Switch hitters have to change jerseys each time a pitcher makes them switch sides of the plate.

We've played Minnesota 3 times. The only 4 game sweep is CWS right now.

Doubt he goes anywhere. His value is higher to us than we'd get back from someone else I suspect.

They want them on the sleeve on the side of the batter facing the plate. I doubt they'll go both sides, nobody will see it on TV.

Scheduled day off. We have 1 team day off in a month.

Probably the pitch he just destroyed into RF.

Yeah, but listening to the Tides broadcast the guy adds UH to the end of every word.

They gifted Gunnar a hit.

Get out of my brain.

Jose Siri needs to get some glasses. He argues good strike calls more than Derek Jeter did.

Don't worry, they'll see him soon.

If McKenna hit, there would have been no one who didn't want him on the team either, even if he dropped the ball. If Westburg goes on a .500 OPS tear for the rest of the year, let's see how fondly everyone is speaking of him.

He keeps dropping routine popups and he'll get that reputation.

They literally said on the broadcast that they asked Hyde about it today and he said no, it's just how it's been working out with the past few games and giving Adley rest. Now, everyone can speculate that Hyde is lying to the media, and that wouldn't be surprising. The conspiracy theories on the OH are legendary.

I emailed them for Melanie to be the full-time color person.

I barely listen to whoever is talking anyway. There are a few things I couldn't care less about than who calls the game.

If we lose it could be argued it did. That still remains to be seen.

He had another fake HR call last night.

I think the point is a routine catch is a routine catch no matter the inning and even guys like Westburg can boot one.

Jackson has had 46 ABs so I'm not freaking out about his batting average. Dude hit 28 HR's in the minors, it's not like he has no pop.
