How slow is Rojas? Good Lord. 

Red Sox defense just giving it to us. 

[Second Base]

Rojas, you slow piece of crap. WTF are we sending a slow runner when you're down and you have a hot hitter coming to the plate as the tying run?

Another fucking example of the NY umps not understanding their fucking jobs.  It’s frustrating as shit.

He was out.  They said he was out.  That's their job.

Terrible read on that ball. Still didn’t look conclusive on replay

[Vladfan]

The replay booth in NY never gets it right in our favor.

I guess I’m not sure what you think their job is if not to get the calls right?

There was no conclusive evidence I saw that he tagged his shoulder. It has to be clear and conclusive evidence to overturn a call. I don’t think we had that there.

[bloodbrother]

He sent him because it's 1985 baseball or something

Well, some of us here think it was conclusive, and clearly the folks in NY did.

No one will ever be happy with umpires' calls.

[Vladfan]

That was NOT conclusive at all. 

Have another 4th of July drink though!! 

[Stradling]

I thought I saw his Jersey move, indicating a tag.  But not positive it’s conclusive.

Don’t be a jackass.  They have a job.  It’s to determine if there is enough visual evidence to overturn the call on the field based on clear and convincing evidence.  I’m watching the game on a 15 foot screen and I don’t know if he was tagged.  He may have avoided it.  The catcher reached back again which is a huge sign he didn’t feel a tag.  The point is that they tend to apply a “what would I have called had I been there” standard.  That isn’t the rule.  The call should have been upheld.  Had he been called out on the play then it also should have been upheld.

I'm not being a jackass.  You're the one ranting and raving, as usual.  It looked clear to me, and obviously did to them, too.  And the catcher reaching back doesn't tell you anything.

You’re just being a contrarian for whatever reason.

Literally the first word that I think of when I think of your posting style, oddly enough.

Thread was going well without you.  Go back to your 15-foot screen.

[jsnpritchett]

Just now, cals said:

You never played this game, did you? You’re taught not to reach back even if you missed the tag unless you know for sure you can get it.  It was the reach back that caused the safe call in the first place, more than likely.

Ah, the typical fallback of dumbfuck jocks whenever anyone disagrees with them.  Yes, I played.

Muting you now.  Should have done so a long time ago.

[TheLordofOuts]

Come on, MFers

[fan_since79]

We have such smart baserunners!

 

[Blarg]

[Justin]

Was everyone a dumbass in 1985?

[jonickell25]

Goddamn. How many more outs on the bases?

[Bronson]

I hate the Red Sox so much.

 

Its basically 

1.Red Sox

2. A’s

3. Astros

In that order. I hate this team so much. I hope someone blows up Fenway park.

[UndertheHalo]

I enjoyed the bit they were doing about pretending to give Ohtani birthday presents.  Best of the year imo.  
 

also, the base running has been fairly bad today eh ? Ah well. 

[Vlad27Trout27]

Damn maybe Defense is really important.

Aren’t you the one who is afraid to meet anyone from here?  

Lol.  Saw this right as I was muting you.  I'm not "afraid" to meet anyone from here, nor am I embarrassed by anything.  I just don't see the need to meet anyone from a message board in real life.  Not my thing these days.
