I could not believe that. Honestly. I just sat there on my couch for a minute, thinking "What?"

Umpires interfere with infielders much worse than what the Chicago base runner did to the Baltimore shortstop, who had no trouble catching that pop fly. 

The infield fly rule had been called, and the shortstop's path to the ball was not hindered in any significant way. 

The 3rd base umpire severely misapplied the rule.

Runner at 2nd must always be aware of what the shortstop and the 2nd baseman are doing. Vaughn also knew what he was doing...but I may be a bit biased here.

That was a pretty good pitch - just below the knees.   Adames’s first ever homer on a 3-0 count.

That was the main course. For first course, Jays 5 Sox 1

He's 1 of the worst umpires I've ever seen behind the plate. He should have never gotten out of Single A ball.

[Principled Man]

Don't go away bad, Hernandez.  Just go away. 

 

I haven't been this happy about a game official leaving since Ed Hochuli and Jeff Triplett retired from the NFL!

He should've had a gun with him, like Leslie Nielsen.

One of the headlines I saw today was, "Everyone knew Angel Hernandez's name. That was the problem."

 

It's a good headline.

I commented a few times on that article.

 

Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot
Wouldn't you like to get away?

Sometimes you wanna go

Where everybody knows your name
But they're never glad you came
You wanna be where you can see
The troubles on you, they blame
You wanna be where everybody knows your name

 

When Angel Hernandez walks into Sam Malone's bar, everyone yells out, "BOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

A majorly entertaining series, this was!  Some great clutch hits, stellar defensive plays and a few freaky lucky plays.  I wish I had been there!

I can't hope for a Chicago loss today.

I HATE baseball ! 
 

Brewers have bases jammed and no outs against Zack Wheeler.  
Brice Turang, their fastest runner, is at the plate.  

What does Turang do?  He taps into a 1-2-3 double play.  Contreras then strikes out.  
 

I HATE IT!
