It's not like someone would have trouble making similar observations about some of our in-game threads. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Pretty funny stuff. A Dbacks fan buddy kept texting about how the ump's zone was generous with Yo and tight with Kennedy. I pointed out that the ump had a fair but tight zone all day with only 2-3 pitches called strikes that were off the plate.

I like the guy who, at the beginning of the thread, was excited to see Hairston at third and wanted them to attack him. I almost feel bad for the one guy who is a Nebraska fan in addition to being a dbacks fan.

Hurt? I hope he's got friends and family keeping an eye on him today..........

Those guys over there are railing on today's strike zone again. The strike zone was the same for both teams ya know..............

 

The home plate umpires for both yesterday and today were definitely pitchers umpires; and certianly weren't screwing over the Dbacks. The strike zone was low yesterday and Gallardo took full advantage; certianly not his problem.

 

And I didn't really notice any major issues with the strike zone today either. Personally I think the TBS Pitch Track graphic is a little tight which makes the borderline strikes look 3 inches outside

fondy, apparently you never watched the pitch-tracker on the screen. It consistently showed pitches catching the corners and edges being called balls. It was definitely a hitter's strikezone both days, except in Yo's 8th inning.

Reading the past two in-game threads on that board makes me appreciate the fact we have a language filter here. Bunch of 5th graders.

Well that certainly isn't how I remembered it. I recall a number of pitches well outside the box that were called strikes and not really all that many the other way around. I don't think they were hitters umpires at all.

I agree with fondy that it was a largely a pitcher's strike zone (for both teams) the past two games.

Anyhow, remembering back to after the first two games of the '08 NLDS, it's kind of nice having the shoe on the other foot.

I still blame the umpires for contributing to the Brewers game 2 loss in 2008. It's easy to blame the umps when you lose a playoff game.
