Gameday Thread: Los Angeles Angels vs. Boston Red Sox (May 14th, 2021) LET'S GO!!

[rottiesworld]

I can’t believe it we don’t have even one fucken reliever to count on. We have to deal with this crap every night.  I hope they get rid of everyone in the reliever core and bring up the ones from triple A can’t do no worse then these losers.

that was a foot off the plate!

No.

Someone give the idiot behind home plate glasses. 

[tdawg87]

Seen this movie before.

I am so sick of these umpires screwing with the outcomes of the game with their terrible strike zones. 

It really ruins my appreciation of the game. How long is MLB going to let this garbage continue, it's pretty unacceptable IMO. 

[rafibomb]

The bullpen blew yet another lead but this anemic offense is leaving our pitching (which everyone already knows can struggle) with 0 margin for error.

Correct, 5-7 inches.

Ridiculous to call that a strike.

Idiot behind home plate...

No, idiot at the plate. 

Trout plays umpire too much with two strikes. yes, he can recognize a ball that is inches outside and know it's not a strike but he can't leave it for the umpire to see it. He has to spoil those with two strikes, swat them away, make the Boston dugout duck for cover. That ball was too close to a hitable pitch for him to assume the umpire sn't going to call it a strike. And that is one of the reasons why he is in a slump.

Trout needs to stop umpiring and be a hitter.

Watson had retired 21 of 23 batters so he was due for a bad outing at some point.

[bloodbrother]

Pen stunk last year so the new GM cleaned house and got rid of damn near everyone and the results remain the same

[JustATroutFan]

It's already hard for hitters to hit in this season. Expanded strike zones with the idiotic umpires behind home plate would even be more harder to hit...SMH.

Now he blew it once this season and because of that we can't depend on him ever.

Or, you know, the umpire could call pitches 6-7 inches off the plate a ball...like they're supposed to.

Trout is watching way too many pitches cross the plate.

this is ridiculous.

[tdawg87]

It's both. Terrible call but Trout watches strike 3 way too much. That pitch was hitable.

[Revad]

Fletch making an excellent play

[JustATroutFan]

The league slash line overall for hitters this season is 234/.311/.390. So yeah, it's very easy for anyone to go through a hitting slump this season. The slash line tells it all. 

[Chuck]

This ump fucking blows. FIRE HIS ASS!!

Lay off the drugs, dog boy, on that pitch being hittable.
