I've never understood that weird logic about "protecting" people who've already been tossed. Its fucking futile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might want to have the 1st and 3rd base umpires do this substance check if it continues to stick. We're going to see some ejections because of it eventually lol.

If you really think we get bad zones because old man LaRussa doesnt shout enough, then I dont know what to tell you. Yes, umpires are deliberately fucking the Sox over because they know no one will yell at them. These are professionals we are talking about. Your logic still makes zero sense dude.

Cmon, you really think bitching at the ump will get use a better strike zone? Not a chance. The reason we have a "strike zone" issue is because Collins is horrendous at framing and pulls pitches off the plate. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the tone of this entire season? This game isnt over. It's still very close. I think we all trust that our team is going to give it everything they have no matter what.

You might be on to something if Collins caught every day, but Grandal, who is a top notch framer gets the majority of the reps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas has no place on the playoff roster if our top 4 starters are healthy. Unless he fixes his control issues, he shouldn't start a playoff game and Cease would be a better long reliever than him.
