IU Scott Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 The Reds starter tonight is not even close to being a major league pitcher. He has started 2 games before tonight and has given up 12 runs in 8 innings. Tonight in 2.1 innings he has given up 3 runs and could have been a lot more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phillies has loaded the bases in every inning. Sad that the Reds don't have any major league ready players in AAA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stlboiler23 Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) Beyond annoying when the HP ump botches a checked swing third strike without asking for help from 1B ump. Awful call and then throws Arenado out after it. Edited August 25, 2022 by Stlboiler23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wanting to o u.ps wouldn't have helped on a check swing. Also if they go to robo umps I will lose more interest in the game. I am tired of everything having to be perfect and taking any kind of personality out of sports. I loved the era where the managers and the u.ps would go face to face arguing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That picture isn’t helpful because you can’t tell if he broke the plane at all. Have to look at the video. Brush up on your rules. "Breaking the plane" has nothing to do with it. It's whether, in the umpire's opinion, the batter "made an attempt at a pitch." He clearly did. https://baseballrulesacademy.com/lesson/what-is-a-swing-5/#:~:text=A swing is an attempt,to attempt at a pitch. "WHAT IS A SWING? Definition A swing is an attempt at a pitch, that is not a bunt. That includes what is referred to as a “checked swing” or “half swing.” It is up to the judgment of the umpire(s) if the batter attempted at a pitched ball. Contrary to popular belief, a batter does not have to “break his wrist” in order to attempt at a pitch. While noting whether the swing carried the barrel of the bat past the body can aid an umpire on this call, the final decision is based on whether the batter actually attempted at the pitch."

Very familiar with the rules. Regardless, he should’ve asked for help from someone that had a much better view of the play. Then he smiles/smirks before tossing Arenado? Clown show.

You brought "breaking the plane" into the conversation, when that's not even a relevant term according to the rule. If the ball has been 3 inches lower, it would have hit his bat...

Reacher Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 I haven't checked out this thread in awhile as my White Sox have disappointed this year. I am going to the game this Fri. My wife got 4 free club box tickets (comes with wait service) and a parking pass. Elvis night and fireworks. Should be a great time. Now if only they could get a few home runs and win the game! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To do so, they have significantly reduced games against divisional opponents. People that come up with these ideas are stupid. Why is it stupid? I'd rather see a variety of opponents than half the schedule being against the same 4 teams. Edited August 25, 2022 by TheWatShot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
