Fantastic night at MMP. First time in the Gallagher Club, and that place is first class. They really did a great job with it.

Also, our outfield looks terrible.

The Chris Stapleton concert seems to have taken a toll on the outfield.

Don't really think this was from the concert. Outfield looked much better in the series Labor Day weekend. Never saw anything official but hear they laid new sod.

Still ticks me off and that strike call at the end was a classic case of an opportunity to fix a mistake that he made by calling foul ball "because he heard something." He knows he f***ed up and could have called that last strike a ball as a make-up but nah.

If we're not going to go full robo-umps at least use the old school approach of a make-up call.

He missed the best clip from last night. The 2 second bit on Dubon standing rooted off 2B staring at Yordan's first shot bouncing into the terrace behind the second deck was amazing. The look on his face was priceless. He didn't run at the crack. He didn't move. He just stood there with his mouth open.

I've never seen a runner just stand there looking like a loon while watching a ball.

I think this was more it being about the Astros than anything. Pretty crazy they cannot get replay right, blind man can see that one. But MLB blackout rules are in great, right????

Likely would have been the call for any team (except maybe NYY or LAD). Some of the review rules are terrible. Foul tips are not reviewable, but HBP is. Astros could only challenge the no HBP ruling. NY decided there wasn't enough there to definitively say the pitch hit his arm. By rule they were not allowed to review/change the foul ball part of the call.

Kinda dumb they can review if the ball hit one thing, but not the other.

So idiotic that they can make all these changes but can't include foul tips...why? I'd love to hear their justification. Do they think there are that many that would be challenged it would slow the game down?

Even if NY "technically" got it right blue should have provided a make-up call because he knew what he heard was the ball barely grazing Breggy's jersey and not the bat. He looked at the replay too, he knew he f***ed up the call, especially asking 1B ump if he swung if he "thought" it was a foul tip based on what he heard.

Yeah they got the call right per the rules.

But the rules are fckd and the call on the field of foul ball was egregiously bad.

Clanton is wrong on this one

the goal is the 2-seed

win 2 of 3 in Cincy -- and just 3 back of the Guardians

This is what I just do not understand about making replay rules. The ultimate goal of replay is to get the call right so there should always be flexibility built in to get it right or clearly avoid getting it wrong no matter the situation.

Agree to a point but if the team did not crap the bed to start the season (just play around .500 ball) and this particular series or any of the frustrating games of late would not have mattered or at least not that much.

While I'd love to get to the #2 Seed, since going to this postseason format, three of the four teams that advanced to the World Series did not earn the bye so I'm mostly focused on staying in front of the Mermen.
