[pacopete4]

Wow, overreact, much?

[adambr2]

Keon!!

[owbc]

Keon again! Tie game.

[jjgott]

KE-ON BROX-TON clap-clap-clapclapclap

[PinaMadness]

Hopefully this is the beginning of good Keon Broxton.

[rcc]

Another homer for Broxton and tied again. If it weren't for those errors the Crew would be on top. Hopefully those errors won't screw up this game.

[torts]

Pittsburgh is SO pissed they traded Broxton. The radio show this morning was talking about how the guy they got is playing in Japan (Jason Rogers) and how Broxton would have been huge for them this year with Marte and Polonco missing time. Love it. so much.

[bigredrobbo]

Pirates 5, former Pirates 4!

[stoutdude04]

Home plate zone is pathetic. Machines.

[TJseven7]

I think we need to stop benching Broxton just a thought

[adambr2]

Home plate zone is pathetic. Machines.

 

Can't wait for machines. These guys have gotten so bad. This guy loves the high and outside ones.

[jjgott]

High and outside to lefties, low and outside to righties. No consistency.

[TJseven7]

Kind of love this Neil Walker guy

A Hairston-esque pickup from Stearns

[RollieTime]

This umpire is very one sided. It's been a poor strike zone all game. Lots of pitches off the plate that are called strikes for Pirates pitchers. At the same time, Nelson hits the corners and they are balls. Frustrating zone to say the least.

[TJseven7]

Santana struggling so hard right now

[adambr2]

Vogt looks like a 50 year old history professor in that picture .

[MoreTrife]

Home plate zone is pathetic. Machines.

 

Can't wait for machines. These guys have gotten so bad. This guy loves the high and outside ones.

 

I wonder what it will take to make the change? I don't recall ever seeing it this bad. Not just on pitch trax but guys walking away shaking their head. A high profile blown strike or ball call in series?

 

And yes, Santana struggling right now.

[adambr2]

And now the first pitch from Swarzak a clear strike called a ball. I want to punch this umpire in the face.

[owbc]

Has our outfield defense been this terrible the entire year? That was two poor plays on back to back pitches.

[rcc]

Not an error but not a good play by Santana. Oy!

[markedman5]

It will take both management and the players wanting it.......they will then have to,take on the umpires union.

 

I don't think it will happen anytime soon.

Even the save last night was a joke. 2 clear balls out of the zone.
