I'm surprised he didn't chuck the helmet at Hernandez.

Nobody can be that bad at their job, nobody. He is just trolling at this point, trying to rile people up.

Do umpires not have an overseeing body that reviews these umpires? Like, how does the league not only allow such incompetence to continue, but also let them to toss players and managers willy nilly whenever confronted over their horrendous call(s). They have way too much power.

Handing out playoff assignments is really all MLB has. Umps union basically fights everything else.

All that really exists is public shaming via resources like umpire report cards on twitter.
I’m sure MLB has their own internal grading system and dole out post season work based on their ratings, but like @Dr.Funk said their union moan and whine at every turn.

Welcome to Unions.

He did that city a massive favour. My sister lived there for work for years and I visited multiple times. It's a dogshit city...

I just don’t see an ability to do away with divisions in North America when they’re essentially built on the idea of minimizing travel costs/time. If they set up a single table they would have to reduce the amount of games they play as well which would further complicate things for owners.

I don't want the divisions changed. f*** Rogers, were a big market team and we should be spending to compete with the Yankees and Boston.

I watched the Seattle game last night , check out this AB

They have been spending lately, and are a tax team this year.

Can Texas still miss the playoffs? Man none of these teams appear to want to play in the post season.

 

[trellaine201]

72 pitches already for Castillo

 

[trellaine201]

Huuuuuuge hit with 2 out

If Jays win tomorrow, Astros go 1-1, and Seattle sweeps Tex then they’re out. Seattle in this scenario would win the division (best overall record at 14-12 vs Tex/Hou), Astros get WC3 (13-13 record), and Texas gets eliminated (12-14 record).

I’m sure the Rangers want this win and probably even tomorrow too (if Astros win tonight) for the bye.

Thanks tips. I'm talking about it they were moved to a division with other small market teams.

Sure glad Schilling was able to get ahead of this while Wakefield was literally on his death bed. RIP.

If anyone need a punctuation on the fact that Schilling is a self-absorbed knob-head, there it is.

 

[mikeyz]

2-0 Houston already

 

[dredeye]

Just saw the Wakefield news. So sad.

They are not doing that suspended Marlins-Mets game tonight, are they?
