Larry Vanover is 68 years old. How the hell is he still allowed to be a MLB umpire?

I'll give the benefit of the doubt that he's not maliciously bad but either he's lazy, quiet quitting or not physically up to the job anymore.

He is well above retirement age. Give him his pension and let him go.

He’s one of the last guys left from the 90s when the strike zones were awful. They got rid of most of the terrible old guys when they stupidly resigned in 1999. Somehow this guy got his job back.

Where are all of the defenders about how our offense is still ranked 5th etc etc. it’s just as big of a joke as the pitching and defense. 6 or 7 hits in 14 innings against these joker Blue Jay pitchers? Pathetic. 

It’s 2 games. Not even 2 full games.  They play 162. 
 

If the Ravens first drive of the year is a turnover or 3 and out the season isn’t over.

Yet it is you who acts like the internet police.  Coming in on any post that you happen to disagree with and acting as if it is your way or the highway.

I am reminded of the great movie Gladiator.  "The time for honoring yourself will soon be at an end." - Gladiator.

😂😂😂ok Russell Crowe. 
 

No internet police here. I just like to see people explain their opinions and cite tangible examples.  IMO, the worst kind of debaters are the “it’s my opinion, bro!” types.

Probably got in the wrong line... ;)

    • There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.  
    • I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.
    • Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization. 
    • The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.    
    • I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.  
    • Roster Resource thinks it has tonight's lineup and Kjerstad on bench again. He is 7 AB shy of 130 MLB regular season AB with 3 games left, and if he ends up short some prospect list makers may still label him one.    If still with the Orioles, he will be 26 years old by Sarasota. I think the OP has its answer as it has been Cole and Lopez these two nights and the team is preparing for that intensity.
    • I care I bet the over on 88 wins, looked like a lock now not so much, come on O’s, daddy needs some new shoes
