Proud2BAHoosier Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Yankees won today vs. the White Sox 5-4. Yanks had a 4-3 lead going in to the top of the 9th, but allowed the game tying run. In the bottom of the 9th, the guys in pinstripes won on a bases loaded walk off walk to sweep the White Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 Ross already been run because Angel Hernandez 2.0 Erich Bacchus wants a turn on the national stage. Ross being mic'd up was funny. Rookie ump falling for Yadi moving 2-3 pitches 3-4 inches is comical. Time for autozone for me. Tired of umps influencing games. I'll deal with whatever the fallout is from the tradition of the game.

Seeking6 Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) Interesting strike zone stat to keep an eye on. Wainwright had 31 called strikes tonight. Most for any MLB pitcher this year. It's baseball. I get it. Cubs blow Cards out in game 1....Cards win last night and tonight it's down to one at bat or pitch...but when you look at the standings come September 18th remember the random game in late May. Bad strike zones matter. Edited May 24, 2021 by Seeking6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stlboiler23 Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 Hate losing a very winnable game. Leaving bases loses with no outs doesn’t win ballgames. Oh well... still the best team in an average division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) The reds are a mess and their lack of young talent in their orginization is showing. With Denzel, Moose and Votto out you have guys like Schrock and Blandino as replacements. Also they only have 3 guys who are hitting with Winker, Costellanos and Naquin and the rest are not doing great. Also I don't like having Winker and Costellanos as the 1 and 2 batters in the lineup. Especially in the NL where the bottom of the lineups are not very good You want runners on base when those two comes up but being at the top of the lineup it doesn't happen. Winker has 6 HR in the last 5 games but only 7 RBI Edited May 24, 2021 by IU Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winker has 6 HR in the last 5 games but only 7 RBI Have you seen what Garcia is doing in the minors? Greene? There is talent down there. Tucker and Tyler are having good years at the plate. Pitching is the Reds downfall...a team ERA north of 5 ain't gonna win a division let alone get ya in the play-offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 One more stat from last night. Home plate umpire Bacchus had 83.3% on correct calls when Ross was tossed. That was lowest in baseball so far this season. By end of game it moved up to 85% which still made it 6th lowest. Judging by Ross post game comments they knew about ump before the game....and credit to Wainright/Yadi for taking advantage of it as well.

Bryant is having quite a year (10/28/.312)...Do the Cubs try to win this year, or at the trade deadline get what they can for Bryant and restock the farm system... I think they'll trade him... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
