ABS has shown just how terrible umps are calling balls & strikes.

Imagine Nico challenging that call yesterday. Who knows if a 2-run single would have followed?

But yeah, ABS has made the umps REALLY LAZY

Why is Boyd still pitching.

That slider by Scott is filthy though

I agree, but three sliders and strikeout by Bregman?  I didn't like it at all.

Counsell seems to like to give it that 1 baserunner or outs in that extra inning he gives a starter...

 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

boyd was unlucky with the bloop hits before the homer in the first, don't think he was that bad.

He meant 10 by the 7th inning.  We may need more.

Because the bullpen hasn't had a day off since Nixon was president and its a fairly comfortable lead

[mk49]

I think Craig wanted Boyd to pitch against Ohtani.  He had 2 soft hits, and that's all.  It worked.

would like more strikeouts. but it's a very good offense.

I guess we won’t be seeing the new reliever who’s name no one can pronounce or spell, tonight?

No

Poor Trent cannot get a whiff to save his life

[JHBulls]

Good thing Sut isn’t in the booth tonight. You just know he would have attempted the most awkward high five imaginable.

How many Hernandez do they have?😁

[chibears55]

Will Zeferjahn replace Theilbar tomorrow or will it be Woodford or Ferguson

I would think Woodford.  I'm sure they'll keep Thielbar.

Pirates beat the Brewers..

Did they do anything besides adding May
