Be nice if we could get to the Reds pen. ..

I would have no argument if the pitch to Castellanos was called a strike, it was one of those pitches that was so borderline it probably gets called a strike 10 times and a ball 10 times over 20 pitches. It sucks that he homered on the next pitch, but that's baseball. That doesn't shift the previous pitch up 3 inches in the zone and make it a terrible call when it clearly wasn't. Guys are acting like it was egregious when you could make an easy argument either way depending on which team's jersey you had on.

I'd be all in favor of robo umps. Take any variability out of the equation completely.

No, it wasn't. It was a whisker below the zone, extremely borderline, could have easily gone either way. There's nothing other than pure frustrated emotion to justify saying it was a terrible call, unless you have some evidence to the contrary to present. LOL So you have none to present. Just clarifying. My evidence is this entire series; but I suppose we're all just being emotional. Is that the response you would like to hear each time you whine in these in-game threads (of which, you're the biggest participant)? Both the zones from Thursday and Friday were terrible but you want to act like you're being reasonable by acting like tonight's zone isn't equally terrible? Hence my LOL. "Of which you're the biggest participant" Cool, way to get personal now just because you're frustrated. It's been a poorly called zone overall this series. It hasn't been a poorly called zone tonight relative to average. That's all I'm saying. If the umpire scorecard after the game shows I'm wrong, I'd be happy to admit I'm wrong

I get that the overall umpiring has been bad this series. I get that we as fans are frustrated. But dude didn't blow the ball/strike call to Castellanos. I complain about umpires all the time -- when it's justified. It's ridiculous and undermines your entire credibility every time you complain about umpires if you cry "terrible call" on a call that literally can be visually proven to not be a terrible call.

Those were strikes all game for Miley yesterday. Batter before broke up a no-hitter with a weak shift hit. Why does an ump bail out the batter on 2 strikes like that? Wasnt outside, right center low zone... It's BS to be at home and throwing games for the road team on borders of zone. While calling 2-3balls out of the zone for other team. Right. Agreed it was a strike yesterday. But you can't expect the guy to call a bad zone just because the guy yesterday called a bad zone.
-
Still waiting on your visual evidence of a terrible call on the borderline ball/strike.
-
It was a terrible call. It was, among a sea of bad calls this series. There were a lot of bad calls yesterday. And the day before. Again, show me the actual evidence that the pitch to Castellanos was a terrible call. I know the frustration is a culmination of this whole series, but it's pretty silly to get tossed on the one night that the umpire actually calls a decent zone.

It really wasn't a bad call. The conspiracy theory stuff is silly. We're just frustrated. The getting tossed act would have been much appropriately utilized yesterday. The fact that Castellanos homered on the next pitch doesn't make a borderline pitch worse.
-
And now we're going to lose. I hate this freaking game sometimes.
-
I don't know why we can't figure this guy out. He's nothing special.
-
We've had like 10 of these this year through 5 (or it certainly feels that way), and if one does ever hold up, I think it'll almost certainly be combined.
-
Well. That was a different ump. I'm aware of that. Consistency would be good, if not a requirement. "Accurate" is the real requirement, and they can't accomplish that. I'd settle for consistent in the absence of good, but only within a specific game. The ump last night doing a bad job and calling pitches several inches off the plate strikes should not preclude tonight's umpire doing the same thing. The call to Votto was certainly correct.
-
Always gotta be one turd in every inning that makes Freddy throw a ton of pitches.
-
Pretty terrible 0-2 pitch from Gutierrez. We make this guy look a lot better than he is, for some reason.
-
Yelich has been very average for nearly a full season's worth of games at this point. It's pretty scary.
-
That was an offseason deal though, not a deadline deal. Most of our deadline buying deals have been pretty minor. Honestly Schoop was probably one of our biggest ones. I would guess this deadline is mostly minor buying. A rental reliever or two, maybe a bench bat. We were one of the finalists for Machado in '18 though, so I don't think anyone can necessarily say we aren't willing to deal top prospects at the deadline. Just hasn't happened. I think it would have to be a pretty good value. Hard to see Mitchell being a good value sell for any rental.

Prospective trade deadline targets?
adambr2 replied to adambr2's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I don't think it's a bad or unfair deal, I just don't think it makes a ton of sense for either side. Tampa dealt Adames I think with the intent of Franco being their guy there. Meanwhile, with the emergence of Adames and the performance of Urias we are pretty well set in the infield everywhere except 1st for a couple years. Woodruff and Burnes are still controlled for 3 and a half more years each. Plenty of time to think about moving either if it comes to that at some point, but mid-season 2021 when we've been riding them to a big division lead isn't the time. -
Well fret no more, because Omar is now in.
-
Omar has been way better than Yadi, but career and reputation makes up for a lot of production when it comes to AS credentials. Just the way it's always been.
-
Lol.
-
You couldn't have just said, "I disagree and think Mitchell's stock is much higher than it was in preseason, and is worth more now than any rental the Cubs could provide?"

2021-07-09: Reds (Miley) at Brewers (Lauer) [Brewers lose, 2-0]

So not only was Eddings bad, but he was bad almost entirely in favor of Cincinnati.
