Could use a break like the Rangers screwing up.

Good thing we didn't play Colabello last game.

 

[Chev-boyar-sky]

Colabello having a game. I like him.

 

[herman]

BABIP power

 

[herman]

Oppo power!

 

[Chev-boyar-sky]

Well I'm crazy, but I'd bunt up the first base line and have Colabello starting home...

Giving Hamels the close strikes but not Stroman.

Funny, he didn't give Hamels strike 3 on Donaldson....

Got one for ball 3 on Donaldson?

 

[herman]

Smart play by the Rangers.

Quite the "impressive" display of fundamentals today.

 

[L K]

Colabello's putting on a clinic at 1B.

 

[herman]

That was a special K.

The Ump must have a Texan grandma.

Seriously.

That is some interesting strike calls for Hamels this inning.

If you go on YouTube there are plenty of clips of this umpire being a wank. Not surprised his strike zone is all over the place.

Hamels getting the inside call to the righties.

It'll never not blow my mind that the MLB relies on umps to call balls and strikes when the technology exists to do it automatically.

I read there was a bias against LHP to RH on the outside corner. Ump's giving him the inside calls though.

From twitter:

@darenw

Umpire Vic Carapazza rung up the most hitters this year on strike 3 on pitches out of the zone this year with 78.

Looks like at least 3 freebies for Hammels.
