LittleHurt05 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 LOL, Lackey and Contreras ejected in the 5th inning today. Anytime you can get both your starting pitcher and catcher ejected in the middle of a September pennant race game, that's impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anytime you can get both your starting pitcher and catcher ejected in the middle of a September pennant race game, that's impressive. That was a terrible call though, it was right down the middle. Ump probably missed it in part due to Lackey missing his spot and Contreras having to reach for the pitch, but you can't miss that call. Contreras has to stay calm though, he can't get himself suspended right now. EDIT: Actually looking at it again it wasn't so much Lackey missing his spot as it was a terrible framing job by Contreras.

fathom Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Clearly a strike that was framed terribly. Lackey is still a jerk though and was complaining about strike calls as early as the 4th pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Wait....people are actually debating that that pitch was a ball?? I'm not terribly surprised it was called a ball given how terribly that Contreras received it, but it was most certainly a strike right down the middle. Just goes to show how much pitch framing, both positively and negatively, can affect an umpire's judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I think the Cubs and Indians are locks for the WS and the Cubs win again. Parade deuce. Cubs and Indians obviously were not into it until recently. They survived the doldrums and are ready to roll again. They have the most talent, folks.
