Hold onto your hats. Here comes Tilt.

Dumb question I know to some but I missed it so don't yell at me, but why is he called "Tilt?"

 

[Van Everyman]

I am only seeing my extremely high expectations. He just looks off today. So, very recently.

Did you see his hit? He crushed one off the Monster. Looked Boggs-ian.

 

[nvalvo]

Fair enough.

 

[Van Everyman]

Completely fucked by the ump there. Strike three was, like, 3-4 inches inside the zone. Not even remotely borderline.

 

[nvalvo]

Why must we walk Miles Straw every time?

 

[InsideTheParker]

Dumb question I know to some but I missed it so don't yell at me, but why is he called "Tilt?"

It refers to the way he angles his neck/head.

He tilts his head when he pitches.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Why must we walk Miles Straw every time?

The umpire did it.

 

[nvalvo]

The umpire did it.

He definitely helped!

 

[Soxcat]

We will end up needing Jansen today.

 

[InsideTheParker]

It refers to the way he angles his neck/head.

You know, he is doing it less right now, but believe, me, he has done it for years.

 

[Big D]

How would the umpires take it if there is a pitch chairmen allowed? I would think they would feel like the team presenting the challenge is showing them up and we all know how most umps deal with that.

 

[nvalvo]

This is kind of a huge PA.

 

[Big D]

He should see a chiropractor about that

 

[Coachster]

Ramirez looks like he just smelled something awful.

 

[E5 Yaz]

I'm more interested in seeing how fans react once there are automated strike zones, and pitches are called strikes on the edges and corners

 

[Coachster]

And Tilt just is awful.

 

[Van Everyman]

This is kind of a huge PA.

I was fine with pitching around Ramirez there.

 

[Redkluzu]

Tilt quickly screwed us

 

[budcrew08]

Dumb question I know to some but I missed it so don't yell at me, but why is he called "Tilt?"

Because he tilts his head to the left when he’s in the set position.

 

[nvalvo]

Youk just dropped a bit of wisdom there.

 

[S. H. Frog]

Gut-check time.

 

[Van Everyman]

And Tilt just is awful.

The ump was. He gave up one hit after a walk in which he threw strike three near the middle of the plate but was called a ball. Then he walked their best hitter rather than give him anything to hit.

In other words, Tilt was fine.

 

[Redkluzu]

Damn that sucked

 

[Van Everyman]

Thanks, ump

 

[brandonchristensen]

oh nice.

 

[nvalvo]

Oof.

 

[S. H. Frog]

Ugh. And a shitty bounce, too. Drat

 

[budcrew08]

Thank you, Ryan FUCKING Brasier.

 

[Beomoose]

Schreiber is excruciating

I wouldn’t call this “fine.”

 

[LesterFan]

The ump was. He gave up one hit after a walk in which he threw strike three near the middle of the plate but was called a ball. Then he walked their best hitter rather than give him anything to hit.

In other words, Tilt was fine.

He made two non-competitive pitches after the ump missed the call then threw a FB down the middle to Kwan. He sucks.

 

[Van Everyman]

Thank you, Ryan FUCKING Brasier.

HE GAVE UP ONE HIT AND SHOULDVE BEEN OUT OF IT. I KNOW ITS A GAME THREAD BUT PEOPLE NEED TO ACTUALLY WATCH THE GAME.


Thank you.

 

[patinorange]

We will end up needing Jansen today.

Optimist

 

[GreyisGone]

I can’t believe I’m still watching Brasier in MLB.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Should have put in Swayman.

 

[Soxcat]

Schreiber is excruciating

They didn’t exactly give him an easy job there. Cora changes pitchers with the bases loaded a lot.

 

[nvalvo]

I can’t believe I’m still watching Brasier in MLB.

We have Martin and Joely due back in the next few weeks.

 

[GreyisGone]

Schreiber is excruciating

Yea he’s not nearly the same guy this year. He’s fine but like a 6th inning guy.

 

[Doc Zero]

HE GAVE UP ONE HIT AND SHOULDVE BEEN OUT OF IT. I KNOW ITS A GAME THREAD BUT PEOPLE NEED TO ACTUALLY WATCH THE GAME.


Thank you.

He gave up one hit and walked two. He got jobbed on a strike call but, like, he’s got one job, dude.

 

[GreyisGone]

We have Martin and Joely due back in the next few weeks.

Hopefully. Seems nothing keeps Brasier off the roster.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

I wish to unsubSchreib.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Bad performance but it's 6-2 with correct umping. Robot umps will really help get those type of pitches (miss the spot across the plate, but still a strike) get called correctly

 

[Doc Zero]

3ER on 1 hit and 2BB when you’re up by 4 in the 7th is not “fine,” non strike call or not.

 

[Doc Zero]

I wish to unsubSchreib.

lol God damn it

 

[pk1627]

Problem is, with Martin out we really have no one who can defuse a situation like that

 

[E5 Yaz]

HE GAVE UP ONE HIT AND SHOULDVE BEEN OUT OF IT. I KNOW ITS A GAME THREAD BUT PEOPLE NEED TO ACTUALLY WATCH THE GAME.


Thank you.

I'm going to have to see that diagram thingy on the Straw at-bat before conceding that the blow call was just about right down the middle

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Sweet bullpen we got here

 

[brandonchristensen]

Did they blow it?

 

[Van Everyman]

3ER on 1 hit and 2BB when you’re up by 4 in the 7th is not “fine,” non strike call or not.

One walk should have been a strikeout. The other was him being almost certainly told to pitch around their most dangerous hitter. Would you have preferred that he tried to pitch to Jose Ramirez?

I get not liking Brasier and why. But the results of this inning weren’t his fault.
