A call that bad almost makes you wonder why we even play the game.

An atrocious call by the umpire, to send a 107 win team like the Giants home. It is further incentive, to change the rules in the post-season, and allow more challenges/replays in playoff games.

Still not as bad as Revere and Navarro.

"i thought he went"
yes, we saw that

"we don't have the benefit of multiple camera angles"
ok, so what if robots did your job instead then

"one of the hardest calls we have"
ok, so maybe we should have robots replace you if you can't get it right

"the plate ump appealed the check swing to me. i thought he went, so i called it a swing."
yes, we know that. we were all watching as your incompetence took centre stage.

[crew chief]“Yeah, no, we, yeah, yeah, he doesn’t want to say,”
he doesn't want to say he was wrong? why not? what kind of job is this where you can't take accountability for your **** up?

the "human element" argument in baseball is the dumbest imo. to not at least partially shift into a robot-human hybrid umpiring system by now is on par with the NHL allowing goalies to play without a mask for over 40 years.

I truly miss Gibby and his interviews. It was almost always a guaranteed laugh.

I'd also take him back as our manager in an instant, but I know that will be a divisive comment.

I'm rooting for AA.

**** Boston. Don't need to explain why.

**** Houston. **** Cheaters.

**** the Dodgers and their $1 billion payroll.

Yeah, they're a **** team riding a hot streak, but they're by far the most likeable of the teams left. And I'd like to see AA get a ring.

I don't know who'd rather choose between the 2. But I know one thing... this board isn't ready for Ratul's vengeance if Braves win the WS.

I'm cheering for the meteor already.

Finally the Astros do something.

Pretty satisfying seeing red sox nation bitching about a boarder line pitch going against them for a change... Hard to cheer for almost all these teams..billion dollar Dodgers payroll, in 4/5 last world series. The cheating stros.. I'll never cheer for the red sox... Soooo, go AA and Hotlanta

A curveball that misses its spot badly and grazes up and away isn't a huge miss. The other 22 ball-strike calls he got wrong? Yeah.

And I'm Team No One in this playoffs, really. Don't want the Red Sox to win, obviously. Not particularly the Astros and the Dodgers, either. And it's hard to cheer for a team that would have failed to make the playoffs if they played in any other division. Meeeeeeeeeeeeeh.

That’s the thing. When you’re left to cheer for the Braves, you’ve been reduced to cheering for the randomness that is the baseball playoffs. In no way, shape or form are they the best team. However, given the other teams involved…Go Braves!!

Actually, anyone but the Red Sox. They irritate me even more than the Yankees.

When Atlanta ultimately has to change their name, the Atlanta Entropy isn't a bad entry, I suppose...
