I have no idea why we ran turd Ferguson out there. This is all he does. Bryan King would have been a better option to avoid having to warm up Hader

Somebody's gonna have to explain that one to me. Aren't the hands considered part of the bat on a swing? I mean, isn't that just basic knowledge? How do MLB umps not know that???

That's the result of the 3rd base ump having his head up his butt and not watching the game.

At worst, it's a foul ball.

If the ball hits you in the process of a swing, that is a strike. We have seen a lot of batters k on a pitch hitting them this year. If they deem it as hitting him and not foul, then it is a strike.

Ferguson ain't going to cut it here. Or this season.

Someone will correct me if I am wrong, but it is my understanding that if the batter is ruled to have swung his bat and the ball hits him, it is a strike.

In this case, the 3rd base blue ruled "no swing" and the ball hit the batter's hand so he was awarded first base on HBP.

Hands are not part of the bat. Hand is part of the basketball when determining a foul.
Should have still been a strike. The batter swung but it wasn't called by the 3rd base ump. It can hit you in the head, but if you swing it's a strike.

Whatever we gave up for Turd Ferguson...it was too much.

But it was not called a swing and a check swing is not reviewable. Both the Blue in the bucket and the one at third were asleep at the wheel.

Okay, fair enough explanation, but obviously it was a swing. But at least that makes sense.

Smart play by Victor. Get the sure out and not escalate this further.

I like Blanco/Arighetti for a game 4 playoff start. Just keep them on a short leash and have them piggy back the game.

Blanco is legit
Valdez, Brown, Kikuchi...1-2-3?

I think by this time next week, we will know if the 2-seed is a realistic possibility, then we can arrange our starters the last week of the season to have those 3 ready for the WC round


Yeah for an ALDS I'd go Framber, brown, Kikuchi and then Blanco/Arighetti game 4

That's the crap that happens when the umpires aren't doing their job.
