They are calling a strike on balls 4 inches off the outside of the plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tired of the sh*t we see night in and night out. From what I understand but would just be someone in a booth telling the ump if it was a strike or not. The commissioner was adament that it isn't a robot making the calls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 Cody Bellinger is absolutely on fire for the Cubs and besides Ohtani will be one of the most coveted trade deadline acquisitions. For the 3rd year in a row instead of building around a guy like this who has found his old form the Cubs will be sellers once again. I'm assuming Cashman from the Yankees has already made the call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is that the Yanks have nothing imo. If I were the Cubs I would be looking to the Twins or Indians as trade partners for Bellinger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 For the Cubs brethren. Things starting tomorrow it appears. Michael Fulmer is slated to get the start. He threw 15 pitches today which means at best he goes 2/3 of an inning. Must mean a deal is in place or close for Smyly or somebody else.

IU Scott Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Ball is not carrying lime usual at GABP. Reds has hit 4 balls yo the warning track and two them were caught up against the wall. When the ball left the hat they seemed hot well enough to go out. Game tied at 2 after 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't just starting that umps suck. Sorry, some umps suck. I've umpired probably 200+ games behind the plate, 12U and below.. man it isn't easy, flat out cannot imagine doing it at the pro level. I don't understand the hold up. Edited July 22, 2023 by btownqb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted July 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Not sure if Jeff Brantley or IU Scott is calling the game tonight for the Reds. Brantley just said that pitch limits in the minor leagues is contributing to the starting pitching issues plaguing major league clubs this year.
