Sizemore showing that fire paid immediate dividends. Showed Wendelstedt who was boss and right away they started getting the calls.

Hyde has a lot to learn from him.

Is this sarcasm? Benintendi promptly got rung up on a pitch way outside right after.

These umps should not have the discretion they do. Being able to miss multiple calls egregiously and then to compound it by throwing out multiple players/managers for calling out your mistake is absurd. Bring on the robots.

Agreed. 9-0 or not, call the game right. I mean, if you wanna give the close ones I get it, but 2 or more balls lengths is ridiculous.

Lol, actually Wendelstedt made a revenge call on the next batter getting Beni ejected as well. That was a direct result of Sizemore getting ejected.

I know, I thought I was laying the sarcasm on pretty thick. 

Wendelstedt is an absolute embarrassment — but the idea that they’re changing the calls in your favor in response to getting berated is kinda goofy regardless of who the ump is.

Pretty terrible to Hyde. Mayo got on base two of the three times he batted in his last game which means he needs to sit for 3-4 full games before getting a random PH appearance.

Maybe our bench coach is just napping

Ah, got it. It is very, very hard to tell sarcasm these days. You did an excellent impression

[baltfan]

I am convinced we will have Eloy just long enough to make him good for someone else.

Fantastic outing by Povich!

[Tony-OH]

AAA team or not, great night for the rookie. He did exactly what you do with a big lead.

[Baseball fandom]

Hopefully Burns is watching Povich tonight and learning a thing or two In all seriousness this is the outing we would had hoped Buns had yesterday.

Good spot for Kimbrel.

Nah. It’s not a tied game in the 8th inning

I've been a skeptic of Povich. I have seen him great and Ive seen him dreadful too...tonight with a big lead, he's been magnificent...better than he was vs the Red Sox.Sure, its the horrible White Sox, but you still have to pitch...and he's pitched as well as any starter this year for 7 innings...NO WALKS in 7 complete... pretty damned good...

If this is Povich moving forward, he may be better than I gave him credit for. Impressive showing.
