LOL, Aaron Boone is complaining about that call... That guy is entitled or delusional, maybe both!

To be fair, he may have been complaining about one of the 30 or 40 pitches the umpire missed, not ball four to Urias.

Boone was not wrong, the umpire was awful and several of those pitches to Urias we're close

Yeah, but alot of them could have gone both ways all game. It probably balanced out

He screwed the Orioles too, and the last pitch of the ballgame was a ball, clearly.

They deserve to lose. Missed his spot and didn’t have guts to go heater.  

Oh I agree, the calls evened out

Great call from Kevin Brown there….

Has anyone ever been thrown out of a game that no longer exists?

If any manager was a good bet to do it would be Earl Weaver.

Fair enough, but the guy screwed both team so...

I love Urias bypassing the interpreter to do the interview in English.  As someone that is learning Spanish and is around the same level as he is in English...it takes balls to put yourself out there.  Good for him. 

Maybe someday I can have a walkoff win and do the post-game interview in Spanish.

Boone's being interviewed. Says he thought the last pitch was high but there were lots of other bad calls, and that he rushed the umpire to protect his catcher

I thought the calls during that at bat were correct.   The previous pitcher got ripped off during the Gutiérrez at bat.  Tough.

Boone said it was high. YES announcer and total jerk Jack Curry said "it looked like it ticked the top of the zone." Sheesh.

Well I had no view of that on TV.  You'd think with how bad the umpire was that Boone would have had to go and get thrown out protecting his catcher earlier in the game.  Sounds a bit weird to me.

Here is the chart. I thought the last pitch was closer than the chart has it but appears a good call. Pitch 4 appears to have caught the zone (barely). Not the worst call he made but when you are that bad throughout the game all your calls are going to be questioned and the losing manager is going to be pissed with some justification.

Where do you find these?   I’ve been looking ever since BrooksBaseball shut down.

A walk off walk. I'll take it.
