Thanks DAZ!

It's tough when they lose, and you feel like you've started a couple game threads lately and heck, you weren't very good luck anyway (speaking for myself).

Like the optimism!

by **skatingtripods** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 8:15 pm

Choo should have kept running regardless of the HR call. Then we'd have the argument that it'd be an ITPHR if it wasn't actually out.

That's as close a review as it gets.

Was just coming to ask this question. If overturned, at minimum he should be on 3rd.

by **rebelwithoutaclue** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 8:17 pm

Or because they blew it, not even going to give him 3rd.

Just another umpire shit show.

Agree. That's at least a triple. He was rounding for third before Upton even got to the ball.

by **rebelwithoutaclue** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 8:18 pm

It wasn't a home run but it definitely wasn't a double.

by **drum** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 8:18 pm

I thought that was a HR until that very last replay/still STO showed, definitely not a HR

by **skatingtripods** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 8:19 pm

And we're gonna fucking leave him there.

by **drum** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 8:20 pm

Thank you very much for that free run on passed ball.

by **skatingtripods** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 8:20 pm

No matter how hot Brantley is, that's the only way we were scoring a run.

technically they did, TB drove him in :cheers:

by **skatingtripods** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 8:22 pm

Alex Cobb should take more time between pitches. We'll be done by 10:45 at this rate.

by **drum** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 8:23 pm

some asshole has a vuvuzela

by **skatingtripods** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 8:25 pm

Hope that 1st inning isn't a sign of things to come. Choo has HR overturned that misses by inches. Lopez just a tick out in front of a 2-run jack.

Has the makings of an interesting game.

by **googleeph2** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 8:35 pm

Well, zero runs would have had a really bad feel to it.

You have to remember that it's Tampa Bay. They're not real fans and don't know how to behave at a baseball game. Remember when they made the World Series a couple years ago? A bunch of assholes had cowbells then.

Can't watch the game here in SC, but if the pitch track on MLB Gameday is any indication McAllister is getting squeezed big time.

He's really close but they do look off the plate a tad. The ump could give a little off the corner though.

Strike zone's weird. It's pretty narrow, but it's tall. He's calling the middle of the letters with regularity.

by **skatingtripods** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 8:44 pm

I'm getting really tired of Santana backing off the plate any time somebody throws remotely inside.

Around the league, Joey Votto has had knee surgery and is going to miss 3-4 weeks!

Huge blow for the Reds.

by **googleeph2** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 9:01 pm

WOWWWW

The Reds have had the entire pitching staff intact all year, and only the odd Rolen injury with position players. Votto carried them for several stretches. Bad news for them.

Quentin's price just jumped.

by **LakeErieWarriors** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 9:01 pm

That's crazy about Votto.

Anybody notice the Cleveland fan on STO that they just showed? Takes a chug outta plastic cup of beer with his right hand. Places it in the cupholder and then proceeds to drink a Coors Light can with his left. Double fistin' representin'

by **skatingtripods** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 9:01 pm

Damon turns on a ball. Choo drives one over the LF's head. I like it.

by **drum** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 9:03 pm

That does hurt but 3-4 weeks isn't bad

by **skatingtripods** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 9:07 pm

Nice.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 9:10 pm

Holy Christ, Cobb is slow!

by **skatingtripods** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 9:13 pm

Don't let him off the hook. Step on his throat.

Free preview on MLB Ticket this week.

I would like to shove the vuvuzela up that guy's ass.

by **skatingtripods** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 9:15 pm

Sigh.

by **drum** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 9:16 pm

annoying watching Cobb suck yet they can't knock him out. all hits are doubles but he's gotten some breaks like that liner double play to stay in the game

Sweet! Thought it was only this weekend. Thank man.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 9:31 pm

I think Rick Manning just said "all THREE quadrants"..... good work Rick!

by **skatingtripods** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 9:34 pm

Please knock this guy out of the game so it's over by midnight.

Asdrubal needs a knock in the worst way here.

by **andrew6586** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 9:42 pm

Nice plate discipline by Choo.

by **drum** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 9:44 pm

Molina has been to the mound no less than ten times

by **andrew6586** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 9:45 pm

Wow. Just wow.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 9:46 pm

WHY are they so bad with the bases loaded? Can't even get a Sac fly.

Christ on tricycle........

by **skatingtripods** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 9:46 pm

andrew6586 wrote:Nice plate discipline by Choo.

I understand Choo's thought process. He's 21-for-105 (.200) against LHP this year, so he's looking for the first fastball. Problem was that it was under the thumbs and jammed him. He knows he's buried if he gets behind in the count against LHP.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 9:47 pm

Crap!

Well, Z-Mac better throw a shutout because the mediocre LHP is in the game for TB now so we're not scoring again tonight.

by **Erie Warrior** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 9:48 pm

That was a craptastic inning. Bases loaded, no outs and...... no runs.

by **skatingtripods** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 9:48 pm

Still 20 less than Arencibia by this point in the game.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 9:48 pm

They need to limit that and pitching coach trips. It slows an already snail paced game down even more.

by **Erie Warrior** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 9:49 pm

What kind of facial hair does this asshole have?
