2021-07-10: Reds (Gutiérrez) at Brewers (Peralta) [Brewers lose, 4-3 -- Ump Show Strikes Again]

[DuWayne Steurer]

I’m watching Cocomelon right now. Which seems like a better option at the moment but did Yelich make a move to 2nd?

 

He rounded like half a step, stopped when the ball bounced right back to the 2nd baseman and then stood in fair territory and got tagged. No time had been called. As much as it sucks it's the right call.

He moved his head towards second a bit but didn't actually take a step towards second at all. I don't think that call gets made often but it probably wasn't as crazy as some of the weird interference calls we've seen this year.

[AKCheesehead]

I think different strike zones would be the big nuance removed by robot umps. I don't have a problem with different umps calling a different zone (within reason, obviously) but when it's an ump having a different teams/pitchers, that's where I get fussy. Now I'm not saying that's the case today, as I'm not able to watch, but it sure seemed to be the case yesterday.

[magnoliacrew]

That's the most argument I've ever seen from Yelich on that ejection. Maybe it starts something in the second half.

[adambr2]

It was a terrible call.

 

No, it wasn't. It was a whisker below the zone, extremely borderline, could have easily gone either way. There's nothing other than pure frustrated emotion to justify saying it was a terrible call, unless you have some evidence to the contrary to present.

 

LOL

 

So you have none to present. Just clarifying.

 

My evidence is this entire series; but I suppose we're all just being emotional. Is that the response you would like to hear each time you whine in these in-game threads (of which, you're the biggest participant)?

 

Both the zones from Thursday and Friday were terrible but you want to act like you're being reasonable by acting like tonight's zone isn't equally terrible? Hence my LOL.

 

"Of which you're the biggest participant"

 

Cool, way to get personal now just because you're frustrated.

 

It's been a poorly called zone overall this series.

 

It hasn't been a poorly called zone tonight relative to average. That's all I'm saying. If the umpire scorecard after the game shows I'm wrong, I'd be happy to admit I'm wrong

[timpep]

Man, watching that replay I'm pretty convinced the tag was so high that even though the ball beat him by a ton Narvaez was safe.

[brewcrewdue80]

We all know it’s not but the zone should be the zone.

 

If the zone should be the zone then everyone should agree that the pitch to Castellanos was a ball.

 

Except the zone has a piece of the ball touching it. It's a strike if we had robo ump. 100pct.

[titletownking]

Baseball is so damn dumb sometimes. Brewers have been the better team and will lose this game.

[Jopal78]

If composure counts for anything the Reds are going to win the NL Central. Brewers whining over calls and making dumb decisions based on emotion (Yelich whining, Narvaez trying to score) the Reds are just playing.

 

That's an ok send with 2 outs. Takes 2 good throws. Take a chance.

 

I see that, then again it’s the worst base runner they have and they put off for another inning getting into the Reds bullpen.

I'd be all in favor of robo umps. Take any variability out of the equation completely.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I think we're also forgetting that in this series Josh hader got a huge strike zone in game one much to our own benefit.

He did more than move his head, His left foot was on the line after he crossed and when he realized the ball got by Votto both his feet ended up in fair territory.

7 of the 10 worst calls in the first game were in the Brewers favor.

[82brewcrew82]

That first pitch to India was called a ball in an earlier AB this inning.

[brewers888]

Lets comeback and win this one.

There have been bad calls both ways. Terrible umpiring is terrible umpiring whether in our favor or not. This has been a horribly umpired series.

[Bulldogboy]

Now that Yelich is just a average mlb player this team needs a huge bat to really go the distance. Nelson Cruz is available but seems to be done playing the field. Joey Gallo would look great at first base. Mancini doesn't really excite me. Anybody else we can get for our small batch of prospects??

Expect Rowdy to be our last offensive add. Adames was our one and only big offensive addition.

[brewers888]

I would settle for a new hitting coach and hope that something clicks for the offense.

They didn't trade big league pieces for Tellez to replace him two weeks later. Urias-Adames-Wong aren't being replaced. Yelich-Garcia aren't being replaced. Centerfield is about it and I doubt they do anything there.

[adambr2]

I would have no argument if the pitch to Castellanos was called a strike, it was one of those pitches that was so borderline it probably gets called a strike 10 times and a ball 10 times over 20 pitches.

 

It sucks that he homered on the next pitch, but that's baseball. That doesn't shift the previous pitch up 3 inches in the zone and make it a terrible call when it clearly wasn't. Guys are acting like it was egregious when you could make an easy argument either way depending on which team's jersey you had on.

[jason21nl]

I’m pretty certain it’s not a rule that you have to round to the right or stay in foul territory. You can come back to first in fair territory as long as you didn’t make an attempt to go to 2nd. Not even a flinch.

[Jopal78]

Why did they fade for Tellez; they’ve started Hiura in almost every game since the trade and now pinch hit for Tellez with Hiura their 2nd worst hitter

[adambr2]

Be nice if we could get to the Reds pen. ..

[brewers888]

Its enough with Hiura. Just send him down and be done with it for the season.
