Awful umpiring. Totally fooled by Q's craftiness.

For a second I wondered if Murph was coming out to bark at the ump

Me too.  He's been barking from the dugout, I think.  Someone has anyway.

Nice outing by Quint. Was hoping he could get through six, but oh well. Hopefully Shelby can clean this up. My heart rate is high.

I have a lot of things from traveling over many years. Probably 30 different hats of different teams across different leagues, and random tees. Go through a lot of hats, some I don't want to get dirty or sweaty...good to have options.

This ump is a great example of the need for the automated ump behind the plate. Nothing consistent. 

[RobertCrawley]

And that’s how you pitch to Willy Adames 

[Nola Beery]

Bughghgh

[yourout]

Miller scares me.

[BCF]

This ump is squeezing the brewers thing inning 

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I am way more open to ABS than I used to be, mostly from watching umpires refuse to use the data to learn and really struggling with consistency. I like baseball better when one guy maybe has a "wide" zone and one guy likes the low strike. But some of these guys...

I have settled on preferring the challenge system to full ABS. Worked for tennis for a long time, and made matches more interesting. The all-electric line judging is less fun.

 

[kevinisaname]

HBP and a walk. Not great, Bob.

[jason21nl]

This is annoying.

He’s got a good spinner but he walks way too many batters.

Tight or big zones are fine imo as long as your consistent for both teams. That’s my big thing is you need to be consistent with it

[willie key]

The walks are getting annoying.    It’s like none of the relievers are ready to pitch when they come in

[kevinisaname]

PHEW! Got out of it!

[kevinisaname]

Please, I beg of you, score some runs, Milwaukee.

[BarremlensTSSC]

That was stressful.

Man, I don't get the hate for these things. I love them. They are better than so many others and kind of independently cool. We should wear the powder blue more.

Frustrating game so far for the Brewers

Is it early May or late August?

I laugh when these umpires make these same bad calls in spring training games and the announcers like to say even the umps are in preseason form, as if they'll get any better once the regular season starts.

Well, begging got me nowhere, lol. It's Ashby time. Please be in control.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Lol. Giants announcers suggesting adding a vegan brat to the sausage race. Tongue-in-cheek. Funny conversation.
