vs. Angels 5/5 Cinco de Mayo

[Rex Thunder]

Tell you what man, you all can tell me if I'm wrong, because I was at the game yesterday so couldn't see replays or anything, but it seemed like we were getting squeezed bigtime yesterday by the homeplate umpire, and after watching Trout get credit for a stolen base when he was out by a good bit- sure makes it feel like the umps are trying to help the Angels as much as possible here.

[WEAVERMAN]

He can't throw strikes consistently.

Hammel just isn't the same guy this year.

To be fair, any pitcher faces a challenge in getting 4 outs per inning.

[ACDC27]

This is the Hammel The Rockies traded.

He called Trout safe because it's Trout, that's how these umps operate, they're horrible in general.

[Gurgi]

lets get it together Hammel!

[SpringBarb]

Are you kidding me? Ugh.

[crowmst3k!]

Awful. The hits keep coming. Even the ground ball finds a hole.

And there's a run that should be charged to the second base ump. :cussing:

A simple ground ball the short would've taken care that bad call.

And there's another run.

[scOtt]

Crap!!

[WEAVERMAN]

This is not acceptable Hamml, not at all.

[ChinMusic]

Should have been out of the inning, but Hammel's got to limit the damage. This is on him as well.

[BaltimoreO's]

We have no pitching.

[allquixotic]

We're gonna need a moonshot with men on base. That's all there is to it.

Oh, and a pitcher who isn't a #5 in any other team with a greater than .500 record's rotation.

[Eutaw]

Chernobyl-esque meltdown.

He'll be alright tho. It's only the first.
