 That's 2 fucking strikes not called

NO that's a very good ump that has called a great and consistent game

[Mo Horn 8933]

Huge inning by Stanek. Let's get some insurance with the heart of the order

Let that hair fly, Stanek.

Now a crooked number. 

[APMP 688]

Stanek with the lion's mane and the Astros bandana is all of us right now.

[alphahorn 1637]

Both of those pitches were near misses.  Neither crossed the plate in the hitting zone.  They were close and Maldo framed them well, but they were both balls.

yes. yes they are.

[cabowabo 4645]

Really need a run or two. I'm too old for this shit.

[billfromlaketravis 11784]

Schwarber was trying to work a walk all the way. Completely gutless at bat.

You shut your mouth.

Not really. He's given two inches off the outside edge against RHB but not even given the whole plate against LHB like some sort of Bizarro 90s Ump.

Consistently wrong isn't acceptable anymore.

You have the camera angle looking down at the plate? 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

You’re dead wrong. Stanek painted 2 strikes that weren’t called. Not shading the ump but you’re fucking wrong.

Exactly what I said as he popped it up- “write an article on that bitch!”

[TonyTexas 10683]

The next motherfucker who counts outs is going to get crowdsourced to oblivion. 

[TexArcher 38816]

I won't be greedy.  Just one more run, please.

[alphahorn 1637]

Stanek was great. His misses were unhittable and could have been called strikes. Unfortunately the ump has been very good and consistent all night and didn't bite on Maldo's framing

He has called a good game, but has missed a few, including at least one of not both of those

What are you talking about?  The hitting zone? They crossed the plate in the strike zone.

Spot on. Both those dots were filled in by the fox computer. They were strikes.

Negged for being belligerently wrong and repetitive and also nonresponsive to questions. I gave you two freebies.

I’ll give you the first missed strike. But the second missed strike was a strike and should have been a strikeout.

In the major leagues where the umps are corrected based on scorecards from the automated system to try to standardize the zone?  Enlighten us on what that's like.

Oh, shit, Scherzer can't go for the Dodgers tomorrow, lmao.

Everyone calm the fuck down. We have one task at hand.

I feel so bad for the Dodgers…
