That call didn't cost the Blue Jays the game - the shitty ABs aside from the ump did. How do you leave the tying run on third with nobody out? Gibbons should have sent anyone but that corpse Navarro out there to fan at pitches. It was pathetic. This isn't on the umpiring.twibnotes said:Just can't be happy for the royals bc of that call. That was fucking awful. For the love of God bring in the robots. Enough is enough.
We will never know what would have happened. That was a HUGE missed call. You can't just toss it aside. Had a massive impact on the key ab of the series.E5 Yaz said:Please ... the Royals didn't win tonight because of one poor pitch call by the ump.

Blue called a similar strike on Navarro in the previous AB which setup THAT strikeout.twibnotes said:Just can't be happy for the royals bc of that call. That was fucking awful. For the love of God bring in the robots. Enough is enough.

We are not talking about a ball that was slightly outside the zone. That was a huge mistake at a key moment. And I'm not saying that bc it was close and late. Saying that bc it affected the hitter's ability to plate a run from third with less than two outs. Don't act like it's just one little pitchE5 Yaz said:
For fuck's sake, how many other single-pitch moments in this game could have swung the balance in either direction?
Thanks Phrenile.twibnotes said:All you guys poo pooing that ump gaffe would be going nuts if the sox were in the jays' shoes. It was a bullshit call that may have changed the outcome of the game - how does that not bother you if you love baseball?

I'm a Red Sox, not jays, fan so I don't give a shit if price blew game one.E5 Yaz said:
And it may not have. You're all pissed off over that one pitch call ... how pissed are you at Price and the Toronto bullpen blowing the lead in Game 1?

I am, however, a baseball fan, and it makes my blood boil when umps have a material impact on the result, especially when we are all staring at handheld advices that tell us where the pitch was from hundreds of miles away. It's fixable...but they won't fix it
It's not a fail if it's aided by a huge umpire error. Davis is a nasty pitcher and revere earned a 3-1 count, which is a materially better situation than 2-2.DeJesus Built My Hotrod said:
Because anyone who loves baseball knows that having the tying run at third with no outs and not getting it home is a horrific fail. The wasn't the doing of the ump - that was the combination of a great pitcher and hitters who couldn't get the ball to the outfield. And to your point, all evidence points to Davis getting Revere even if that was called a ball. They could have called Navarro's pitch a ball and he likely still would have fanned. The better team won.
