That qualifies for some bad words I am too much of a lady to type, but not too much to yell out in my living room.
Can’t really fault Schriber there when the ump makes you put it right down the middle of the plate.
Player option for $13.4M and I believe he's paid $7M if he doesn't pick up the option. Both are reasons for him not to.
Schreiber was literally blameless there.
The "hit" was a medium grounder that bounced up in the air off the mound.
The "walk" had three pitches in the zone not called a strike.
The homer was only in the zone because this ump refused to call a strike anywhere that wasn't down the middle. So he threw it down the middle.
In short, fuck this ump with a hammer.
Valentine isn't likely to make his 5:30 ET dinner reservation now. At least we can take solace in something.
Took me 10 minutes to figure out where to watch this game. The picture quality on Amazon totally sucks. And now more horrific umpiring.
They can’t take Martin out fast enough when he breezes through an Inning and they let Schreiber get a 5th batter after retiring 0?
He is getting squeezed hugely. No pitcher is going to be at their best when the ump is essentially forcing them to through center cut pitches.
The umpiring seems like it's taken a turn for the worse this season. It's a little peculiar because the call for ROBOTS has grown louder and, IIRC, the minors are experimenting with them.
