That k zone this is honestly the worst thing that’s ever happened to baseball on tv. 

Makes every dope at a home a strike zone perfectionist.  As if strike zones being a non exact thing hasn’t been a part of baseball since literally the first time they started playing baseball. 

I thought joe West did a good job in the Houston game.

Almost always they’re fine.  If it’s close don’t look !

The players need to learn a new strike every game...

Brewers are gonna regret not taking advantage of that lead off double.

And I've been bitching and moaning about terrible umpires and their dogshit strike zones for over a decade so it doesn't matter if there's a box on the screen or not.

I really don’t understand this.  Honestly I’m not trying to be a dick.  Did you play baseball much ? I never felt like I had to learn “new strikes” I felt like every pitcher gave you a different look and every umpire was slightly different.  I never thought it was anything other then the game.  By no means was I any good at baseball.  I don’t know.  I just don’t understand this stuff. 

Sometimes umps are egregiously bad.  But it seems pretty rare to me.  What’s bad is when they’re consistently inconsistent.  Sometimes a close pitch will go one way to the other.  I think that’s just part of the game.  It’s what makes it challenging.  Like I said, if it’s close.  Don’t be looking.  I feel like pro’s get this.

I have seen nothing from Aguillar to make me impressed in any way.

I feel the same way about the 2 guys before him too.

Also why the f**k is Moustakas not bunting here? Absolutely retarded lack of fundamental baseball.

[Homebrewer]

They don't mention Mdson making millions with the Angels without pitching

Honestly he looks shitty.  AB’s aren’t particularly good.  Long swing.  And he’s fat and slow.  At least Domingo Santana looks like an athlete. 

Sure would be nice if the Angels could ever get one these guys to go off for 30 homers randomly.

Well I've been watching them through the last 2 months which you probably haven't.

It was something either a player or a commentator said yesterday, I really can't remember who said it, but I watch every game and one Umpire will call the outside pitch a strike, another will give a pitcher the low strike, another the high strike. I see it every game.

[m0nkey]

I usually like using your best pitcher on the road, because what are you saving him for? But I don't know about using Hader here.  No guarantee for a win and you probably lose him for tomorrow, unless it's a short outing

[CaliAngel]

Brewers need to score runs the Dodgers will not go easily and they will swing for the fences, looking for the walkoff.

 

Way too much dicking around by Brewers offense.
