Logan Webb is mowing the Dodgers down again. Very impressive.
Just realized the home plate umpire is Doug Eddings...that explains a lot. He's prone to having bad zones too many times out.No way you are going to convince me this is going both ways. This umpire man…..
Eddings was horrible with the Padres this past year. It all makes sense to me now. He's shit.Tweet

Add that to the outrageous strike zone that was heavily tilted one way and this is example 19379315 why MLB has the worst officiating by a country mile.That is a cruel way to end a game. He did not go around, that is horrible.
I swear I notice this every post season too. So inconsistent it mind fecks the person on base and they start swinging at pitches they really shouldn't be swinging at.Add that to the outrageous strike zone that was heavily tilted one way and this is example 19379315 why MLB has the worst officiating by a country mile.
Have to agree. But I can’t imagine how much it fecks with the hitter. It’s sure to mess with their heads swinging at non hitter pitches. We get to see it every post season consistently.I honestly don’t think they “wanted” the Dodgers to win. It comes down to:
1) Baseball being a hard game to umpire
2) The absolute zero accountability MLB Umpire have.
3) the massive egos every single umpire has.
you combine those 3 and you get guys who each individually decide how to officiate the game, actual rules be damned. They love being known as “big zone” umpire, or “low zone” umpire, or Giant Asshat Joe West umpire.
The strike nearly completely ruined the sport for me, but then it exposed me to association football as the World Cup exploded on the US sporting scene that summer. That void left by baseball, along with the end of my high school baseball career having just graduated that May and failing to get a minor league contract with the Royals, found me wanting other sports. I had the NFL and NBA, and the odd NHL match, but discovering the world's game opened doors that I had not yet experienced. Yeah, in the early 90s one could find the odd Serie A match on the tele but by 94 there wasn't much on tele. Enter HSE (old cable TV network) and their Sunday EPL highlights package. I was hooked from there on.What was different about pre-94 baseball? When I watch old clips it looks like it used to be faster. Less time between pitches etc
Agree he should be paid, but with the contracts of Tatis Jr and Lindor out there, plus Seager, it's going to be a huge salary.Just watched highlights from last night's game. Red Sox should really think about placing Kike Hernandez 3rd or 4th in the order so he can hit homers with at least someone on base.
Astros need to pay Correa. Just pay the man. He's going to be very costly but he's worth it.
Creepy...eight years ago, in the ALCS game 2, David Ortiz hit a slam.GREAT SALAMI BOYS!!!
I love it. Boston has a way with that kinda stuff.Creepy...eight years ago, in the ALCS game 2, David Ortiz hit a slam.
Haha. That's a damn good fact!I love it. Boston has a way with that kinda stuff.
Tessie was sung by the Royal Rooters at the Sox first World Series win and at all their World Series wins in the early 1900s… it stopped being sung in 1918. Then the Sox didn’t win a World Series again until 2004… when Dropkick Murphy released their homage to the song, also titled, Tessie.
Yep. I love stuff like that. Makes baseball such a rich game.Haha. That's a damn good fact!
That's nuts.We just saw history made.
That’s the first time a team has ever hit multiple grand slams in the same game in the postseason.
