Sometimes a contrarian position is just wrong and can't be backed up with actual evidence, other times a contrarian position can be supported through sound logic and reasoning. Likewise, just because a belief is the consensus among one group doesn't mean it is based in any sound reasoning. We are all human and emotions do come into play in how we interpret things. Obviously, if you went on to a Reds board yesterday my guess is that they interpreted the 2-2 pitch to Castellanos quite differently than the masses here as well as the move by Yelich to 2nd. All I did was point out that there was no actual evidence that the umpiring yesterday was any worse than any normal MLB game (as opposed to the first two games this series), and I even provided the link to the umpire scorecard on page 1 of this thread to support that reasoning. I don't know why you would have such a problem with that. I honestly don't really care how a Reds' board would interpret the weekend; obviously they'd feel pretty good. There have been numerous terrible calls this weekend by this crew that shouldn't matter if the team would just take care of business, but since they've gone into a hole, it's been highlighted how bad the calls actually are. What I have beef with are posters who act like they are, somehow, less reactionary than other fans because they somehow agree with some of the terrible calls we've seen this weekend; Adames' "overslide" today being part the latest example. Why would we have a problem with that? I can only speak for myself in that I don't really appreciate posters telling others that they're overreacting to a bad call when there's literally ZERO evidence of the call being different from the initial call on the field. Please, explain to me what you people are seeing that we're not because when a call is made on the field it should be OBVIOUS that there was a different outcome; not just someone saying "there's a degree of doubt whether or not he stayed on the base." Sorry, I'm not going to let this go. Also, this is an in-game thread where people get to vent.
