vs. RED SOX, 4/17

[Nevermore]

I missed Ubaldo's performance. I obviously know he was ejected, but I also know he walked 3 batters in less than 4. Was he good? Good enough? Did he look like more of the same from game 1 or did he look shakier? Let me know please.

He wasn't quite as sharp as the Toronto game. But he certainly was doing well enough to win. He as pitching a no hitter when he got ejected.

I want to say I saw Mattingly hit into a 5-4-3 TP at Memorial Stadium. Although normally I always sat on the west side of the stadium, I was in the right field upper deck, maybe Sec 32 or 33, for that one.

Now I'm going to have to dig through baseball reference to try and find it.

As usual, I dig through Baseball Reference and find that my memory is not quite right.

Mattingly didn't hit into it, he was tripled off first base. Steve Balboni hit into it.

Just now watched the replay on mlb.com . Excuse my French... Jordan Baker is an asshole. NO REASON to toss Ubaldo. Cost us the game because U was cruising and Gausman... is Gausman this year. Freaking prima donna umpires! You are a SIDELINE to the game, NOT the focus. You're a damn orange road cone. Egotistical bastard!

I'm kinda lukewarm on De Aza. Awful lot of K's for a guy that doesn't really do much else well.

Cry me a river, Rat Boy!!! Go sit your arse down, son.

What's the point of changing the scoring a few days after the fact?

Yup, Rodriguez is going to have one of those vintage Texas great years on a terrible team.

We all hope..

The beginning of a 4-game series and now the bullpen is going to be all f'ed up. Unbelievable.

This is what this JOKE of an umpire cost us! Asshole.

On the bright side... maybe they'll finally send Gausman down where he belongs and get a useful arm up.

Ump needs to be disciplined. This was completely mishandled!

I was thinking about this, at work tonight after this all happened... Buck didn't get run, and he was pretty critical in his post game comments... but he could just GO OFF in his post game comments, and HE would be the one suspended or fined! Meanwhile the ump won't be disciplined or EVEN LOOKED at by MLB.

These umps need to be taken down about three notches!

[scOtt]

This makes it all so wrong....

Sandoval didn't take offense to the pitch and didn't think it was a fastball with intent.

"I don't think so," he said of if Jimenez was aiming for him. "It's part of the game. I was taking one for the team."

[scOtt]

If this ump doesn't have some consequence from this....

[scOtt]

Johnny Oates...

[scOtt]

Only man who can answer that works until 11:00 tonight.

I actually work till 11:15 but why am I THE MAN?

[scOtt]

How are they even allowed to do that?

Because there's NO GOD DAMN consequences for umpires! Like I said above... Buck could go off in his Gary Thorne interview, even worse than he so deftly DID go off... but the umpires have NO penalties! NO review board! NO consequences! If they feel like stepping up into the spotlight... and making themselves into MORE than the game is... They will do it! Again, with no consequences or oversight WHATsoever. :spit:

You are NOT the game! You are a side line to it. Egotistical bastards.

[scOtt]

I'm outta here! Before I get myself a vacation. What a pissed off game!
