Kalapse Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Amazing that he'd expand the zone like that when the f***ing guy couldn't get the ball over the plate. You almost NEVER see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Well that was a completely momentum changing pitch on that bad strike call. Oh well, it was nice to make it that close, not that disappointed because of how we finished.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood_AU Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 04:05 PM) That third pitch to Rios was such a bad call. Got Marmol back in the count. Also the 4th pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 That 2-0 call really did change that AB. Sucks if you have to swing at a pitch like that against Marmol. Might have pulled off the comeback if not for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I really think if Rios swings at that 2-1 pitch, we win that game 9-8. That was a pitch he's crushed to left all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Rios was forced to protect on that last slider with that incredible expanded zone. He didn't have much of a chance after strike 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Yeah, you suck ump. If that had been a ball, Rios would have hit a home run. The Sox would have won the game.

BigSqwert Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Oh well. Was a nice run and we can start another streak tomorrow. It's too bad we brought up a very good looking reliever to have him sit and watch as the worst pitcher in baseball added to the Cubs lead. Who knows what could have happened if Ozzie didn't bring in dead man walking Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't have much of a chance after strike 1. Yeah, and I think he was still reeling from the strike 1 call on that second strike, otherwise, Fathom is right, he has handled that pitch all year. He should have taken a step out and gotten his composure a little better before stepping back into the box.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very proud of the 9th inning effort, and we just have to start another win streak tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a great series and a great last game with two (three?) really bad calls by the umpires. I'll take 4 of 6 from a crappy national league team, but I'd prefer accurate calls and a legitimate chance for Rios in that AB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still irks me though. Bringing in Williams is a sign of conceding victory. Threets is here so why not give him a shot? We already know what Williams brings to the table and that's absolutely nothing. And it was 7-3. Edited June 27, 2010 by BigSqwert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
