Sigh I feel the "where is Zimmerman hurting us more" thread will get bumped again soon

The articles I have seen generally say the umps get about 85 percent of the calls right. So there is probably one bad call in almost every at bat. My own eyes tell me that most of it benefits the pitchers nowadays. So if you are a batter need to swing at close ones with two strikes.

The panic is pretty evident when the game has hardly begun and the posters are crying about the umps and other posters.

Would have been out anyway I think. Son of a nag we can't catch a break, everything hangs up.

I don't know why they don't anyway. Fouling balls off/away is an art, maybe a lost one, so many damn taken strikes.

To troll.

That's what I assumed. His non answer spoke loudly.

Need a big two out hit.

Might already be silenced by the Mods.

Rendon did that in the first at bat. Swung at a couple that might have been balls. Will help in the long run.

I can't believe he called that a ball. Those umps frikkin suck.

BeltwayBaseball · « **Reply #61:** August 01, 2015, 07:23:15 PM »

HAHA WOW, pitchtrack didn't like that but I thought it was a strike and so did Werth

GburgNatsFan · « **Reply #62:** August 01, 2015, 07:23:46 PM »

Man, I thought that was a strike. But Pitchtrack says no.

Would have rather seen him swing and put it in play.

It's the first inning and we have a chance to put a dagger into the Mets.

Yeah I've been liking Rendon's ABs a lot lately, just hasn't gotten the results.

Ohhh, what a brutal swing by Desi...
