Sunday August 7th - Let’s Get This Sweep

[NashLumber]

Hope Chirinos is ok, btw. That was a hit. 

Been doing housecleaning and had not been following closely and I initially thought "wow, Adley got nailed" and my heart skipped a little. Not that I'd wish getting pounded like that on anyone, but Adley already had one collision in recent weeks.

Ridiculous call.

This whole game besides the Mateo home run is just gay. 

What the hell?!

These prima donna umps are really annoying. Make the call give an explanation and play ball.

Probably should have taken the pitch on 0-1 with Mateo's jump.  Yeah it'd of been 0-2 count but you'd have 2 chances to get him in.  The 0-2 steal attempt wasn't a good jump and Mateo probably should have stayed put.

It’s a pitch out pitch, stupid as hell to run there.

Such a dumb rule.  And what a knee jerk ejection by the umpire.

What a bunch of crap. You’re basically saying the catcher doesn’t have the right to catch the ball. A stupid rule created to stop super rare injuries. The thing is, if Allen slides there he probably breaks up the throw.

That out was stolen by the Umps.  Chirinos did not block the runner.

This game is really happy? This game is sexually attracted to games of the same sex?

Glad I put tinman on ignore. Geezus.

Precisely.  Stadium intercoms weren't working, of course Hyde is going to come out and want an explanation.

What a pitiful day by the offense and bullpen.

On the bright side , the dude the MFY got at the deadline is getting shelled.

And yesterday they got shut out by Montgomery, the pitcher they traded.

The rule changed because of money.  When that SF catcher got hurt right after signing a big contract the Giants cried like babies.  And they changed the rules.   All for contracts.

You do realize I'm saying that the 0-1 pitch is when it was good to run, not the 0-2.

Baker and Akin really came up short today.
