Tomorrow's game will be interesting.

Boneheaded mobe by Uribe. Koenig was just sent down and cant come up unless there's an injury so I think the only guys on the 40-man are Martin and Ashby. Am I wrong?

Will Martin get the Pannone treatment from last year? Up for one game and DFA?

Can't Uribe appeal any suspension and continue to pitch?

Yeah, I doubt he will

Actually, a common thing to do is appeal the suspension. Throw 2-3 innings over 2-3 days and then drop your appeal. Thus, your suspension falls on a bunch of days you would have never pitched anyway.

Clown show from the umps in the postgame. 

 

Three problems:

#1 Something tells me this umpire's history would not show a bunch of ejections without a warning. That alone would be pretty suspect. 

#2 Siri had absolutely NO reaction to being hit. He was going to just kindly take his base. Didn't look at a single Brewer. Why WHY on earth would any umpire feel it is necessary to eject the pitcher especially after no warnings? Honestly, it doesn't make any sense when it is almost an unwritten rule to give warnings. 

#3 Why doesn't the umpire acknowledge HE is the reason there were punches thrown and a brawl happened? None of that happens if the umpires don't eject Peralta and Murphy. The umpire basically upped the emotion. It was done and over with once they hit Siri....but no, the umps had to reignite everything.

Unpopular opinion but the age-old tradition of throwing at a guy because he did something naughty is one of the dumbest things in sports. They rarely care that they've been hit and I'll never understand how giving the opponent a free runner is some cool, good thing to do.

Ejection was equally dumb though.

The ump show is getting ridiculous.  Last night was one of the worst I've ever seen.  Guccione really ought to be suspended.  He ramped up the emotions of that game for no reason other than his own feelings.  A warning would be been sufficient and that would have been the end of it.

Look at the sign Contreras put down and it says everything you need to know.  🤔

Yeah, this is what tipped me over to believing that Freddy hit him with purpose.

Contreras gave a classic fastball inside sign and then some other motion, looks like a fist. Levering even remarked on it saying, "Going the old traditional signs." Video here.

Why is the catcher giving an old school sign? That's not the norm anymore. I doubt there's a button on the communication device that says, "Taladra a esta perra."

Anyway, I agree with the other poster that said even if it was intentional it seemed pretty mild as far as throwing at guys goes. It wasn't obvious in the moment, maybe there was some chirping on the field after the Siri home run earlier that tipped the ump off to something but the umpire jumping directly to tossing Freddy out wasn't really something I think most viewers would expect. Seems to me giving a warning would have been enough.

I have no problem throwing a guy out without warnings…but hitting the guy intentionally in his thigh and to get ejected? Come on…that is like the most harmless place to do it. Hand/Head, send the guy to the showers, but that felt extreme.

I don’t want to be a conspiracy guy, but it felt like the umpire wanted to stick it to us and stand up for us ripping on them multiple times this week.

Wait, is this the same crew for the Yankees series?  I'd have thought new crew each series

It is a different crew.

Saw that too, especially in the profile.

From straight on I think his head is a little more square.

My first thought was Molitor.  At age 44.

 

Dude looks old.

I wasn't referring to them as the same crew...merely standing up for umpires as a whole.

Murphy's post game comments give me the impression that he had a big problem with something the ump said or how he said it. "I hope they have audio of it". 

Braekdown from Jomboy. Yeah, Guccione is a piece of work.
