chuck - watch the strike zones a few games at fenway , then watch them on the road

i wouldn't make a big stink , but, a buddy of mine has been tracking this stuff , and 5+ yrs is getting ridiculous ---20 games more a year at home they are winning

Gales I watch far too many baseball games as it is. Anyone that "tracks" that kind of stuff without using the technology found at mlb.coms gamecast is wasting their time. And if there was a trend that favored the Red Sox you can bet your ass that they would have been outed already. It is so stupid that I would seriously advise you not to repeat this in public unless you are solely in the company of other delusional Yankee fans. Most Yankee gibberish is just from spoiled fans who are perhaps the least objective group of fans outside Lexington, KY. The umps are cheating against the Yankees and for the Red Sox? Perhaps the most idiotic yet.

Come on Gales, I detest the Red Sox more than any team on earth but this conspiracy theory is ridiculous.

Please don't tell me that you are going to do recaps of blown calls in MLB on a daily basis. I'm not sure if I can take it.

gales0678 · #6 06-25-2009, 09:46 AM

no , i won't , i won't go over them on a daily basis , but , just give me your opinion on this one (if you saw it) , maybe joe getting thrown out fired them up?

Yes, it was a terrible call. But it happens in baseball, football, hockey, basketball, soccer and even professional wrestling. You just have to deal with it and move on. Hell, didn't a bad call contribute to the Cardinals losing a World Series.
It's almost like Horse racing when you only bitch about the takedowns. In baseball you don't remember the wrong calls that go your way, just the bad ones that go against.

that's why we need to be able to look at reversing plays / calls - just like in football , i'm not talking balls and strikes , but with a quick look over to a replay booth the home plate ump could have eaisly reversed this call and got it right

i'll leave it alone now

Baseball players dont hit better while "fired up". maybe "juiced up" but not fired up.

Should have calls at 1st reviewable. I see soooo many blown calls at 1st base.
