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.

Ugh. Got under it just a little.
-
Nice work Devin!
-
Would be a good spot here against the lefty to try to get 4 outs out of Hader. (Ducks)
-
Not sure what you're saying here. Like, you shouldn't have to actually stay on the base?
-
There has to be a different angle that we can't see that clearly shows the foot leave the bag. They can't be reversing based on that look.
-
I was with you on the first part. Then you totally lost me on the second part. There are not 15+ teams that would use Brad Boxberger as their closer/#1 option in the pen. That's a major exaggeration. He's been very solid for us and I'd pretty much leave it at that.
-
Our .132 hitting seldom used backup catcher has as many homeruns as Christian Yelich at the AS break. Jackie Bradley Jr. has more.
-
I am beyond frustrated with Hiura, but he has youth and upside. Robertson is a known quantity of poo. Big difference.
-
I know this is far from a "must win" game but it feels like a very big one. The momentum and vibe between going into the break 6 up on your biggest competition, versus 4 up, plus a series split versus a loss, just feels big. Hope they can come up with a way to scratch this one out.
-
I would guess he is not long for the roster, and his continued presence on it is probably entirely dependent on the health of Kolten Wong.
-
JBJ needed that badly, and fantastic sequence by Jace to put himself in position to score. Nice to see Woodruff off the hook, who has been a victim of poor run support numerous times this year.
-
I'd expect nothing less than that atrocious AB from Keston. You might as well just let Rowdy try to hit lefties. He does have reverse splits.
-
If Avi goes up with the same approach as Jace in his AB we've got 2 on and nobody out getting into the Reds pen already with no one in the 6th. Castillo's command is shot and Avi flat out handed him an out.
-
What a horrible chase from Avi.
-
It's relatively impressive to me that that was probably one of the 3 worst outings I've seen from Woodruff all year and he went 6 innings and gave up 1 run against a really good lineup.
-
Huge break on Naquin. Chased Ball 4 not even close.
-
Previous guy walks, next guy comes up trying to be a hero, sees zero strikes in 4 pitches, and makes 2 outs. That's how you get shut out.
-
Gotta cash something in here. 2, preferably.
-
Hasn't been a very well called game today either. The guy last night might have been average but the average of a bunch of garbage is still garbage. The cumulative performance of the overall umpiring in this series has been very poor, no doubt. Sooner or later something has to give and we'll see an automated zone. They can still stand behind home plate and do their exaggerated hand gestures, they just won't be making the decisions anymore.
-
Horrible strike call to Urias.
-
Eh, who would you hve pinch hit with that would give you more confidence than the pitcher they'd have to put in to cover the next (and probably next two) innings? Probably Taylor and then 5 for the pen. If Woodruff was dealing today I would probably lean toward letting him stay but he's laboring. Not sure throwing away the chance is worth squeezing another inning or two out of him on one of his bad days.
-
If they pull Woodruff after one more inning I will be pretty disappointed with Counsell not taking a shot there.
-
Man. I would think about pulling Woodruff for a PH here. It's a big multi run scoring opportunity of which we don't have many, you have 5 days off coming up and Woodruff hasn't been near his best today anyway.
