STOP CALLING PITCHES THREE INCHES OFF THE PLATE YOU horsefeathers.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

for serious though, how different is this game if Arrieta and Corbin have the same zone?

[halplm]

I am more angry now than I have been all year

[BigSlick]

Arrieta has lowered his FIP from 2.72 to 2.50 in 4 innings.

he's facing an .800 BABIP against right now

Corbin rolling right along...

[halplm]

Not only would Jake probably be winning right now if he had the same zone, but he would have thrown about 40 fewer pitches.

[David]

this umpire is horrendous

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Corbin rolling right along...

 

Is this gonna be your thing now?

[BigSlick]

hahahahahahahah

 

that at bat sums up the whole game. Ump misses strike 3, and then the pitcher hits a soft bloop hit

 

I ain't even mad

[Transmogrified Tiger]

4 strikes to Corbin before that single

[Tim]

Corbin rolling right along...

Remember to take deep breaths...

[halplm]

this is the most ridiculous thing ever

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Miggy can throw out pitchers at least.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

that's just dumb

[Ski]

I want to see Joe get ejected if this garbage strike zone persists.

 

I mean, yeah, we're going to lose baseball games, but I would much rather the other team beat us.

[BigSlick]

*that* is why i hate michael bourn, fyi

[BigSlick]

hahaha every ground ball has become a base hit, what a weird world

 

This is an extremely strange game (that we will likely still triumph in)

[halplm]

now the 1st base ump getting in on the action

[UMFan83]

What a weird ass game for Arrieta

[Ding Dong Johnson]

now the 1st base ump getting in on the action

is "the action" making the right call?

[Tim]

dbacks 7-8 on balls in play so far.

 

Baseball

I'm just gonna assume that the guy who has went nearly a full calendar year with a sub-1.00 ERA has had some amazing BABIP luck along the way and that this is just settling the score. Because this whole game has been stupid with the BABIP and the zone.
