Is it just me or is the home plate umpire blind as a bat? Can't call a strike for the life of him.

He is pretty bad...

Hopefully during the delay he can sober up and make some decent calls. He put Verlander into some really tough counts.

I was thinking the same thing, but obviously I'm a Detroit guy. Wilson got a call on Cabrera's strikeout that was outside, but Verlander can't buy a strike.

BS strike zone!

joan1173 · 10-08-2011, 09:25 PM

Ump is not giving verlander the outside pitch, but is giving wilson. Plain as day too.

Haha! Did anyone see "Strike" 1 to Victor? It was 5 feet out of the strike zone.

Yeah, that was horrible.....it's funny to hear the announcers, "he just got a borderline strike"....they can't say, "what the heck! That was obviously inside!".

Josh611 · 10-08-2011, 09:39 PM

I just love the rain.

obenheimer · 10-08-2011, 09:50 PM

Yea, he's calling a very bad game. He's screwing both pitchers, not just Verlander.

sucram · 10-08-2011, 09:51 PM

Poor umpire man...

Austin Jackson is a bum

What's going on? Do they always sing before the 8th inning in baseball games?

Maybe it's just payback for ALDS game three?

Anyway,

Umpires are to Baseball Games as Topps is to Baseball Cards.

They both suck but there ain't nothin we can do about it.

I almost spit out water when I saw this Texas pitcher about to deliver. Looks like he;s about to swing a bat.

I just got back from the game. 10 hours after getting there. I live like 15 minutes away.
It was a lot of fun but several thousand left during the 2nd rain delay.
Going back for more later on today after a nap.
Gotta love the Post Season!
