Speaking of umps,
I just bought this book. I’m about halfway through the preface, so I can’t attest to whether or not it’s good, but it is well-written.
So far, the MLB umps sound like jerks.

i said that McClellan’s problems with walking batters is like Izzy.
some guy disagreed. maybe now he will agree. walks lead to runs. period.
by CardsCentralChamps09 on Apr 28, 2009 9:24 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
and I’ll repeat last night.
His issue isn’t walking batters in general,he’s having issues with his curve. It’s two damn games already. He had at least one K in that inning not called and another I could argue for.
So, no I won’t agree.

This team has a bunch of decent pitchers,
but in a close game all but Franklin and Motte lose their aggressiveness.

was aggressive.

I didn't think McClellan lost his aggressiveness.
It was clear that they intended to walk Chipper. And then he lost control of his breaking ball.

I think your interpretation was fine
“You were watching the same game, yes?” is not asking if you were watching this game on TV or following on Gameday. It’s implying you must be following a completely different game because you’re so wrong about what happened. Not that there’s anything wrong with a little snarkiness, but it clearly was a snarky comment, not a “valid question” in the non-snarky way that implies.
by BTown Birds fan on Apr 28, 2009 9:55 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
it had nothing to do with what call was made – keep it in context.
you made a comment summing up all of the pitchers (you clarified it to BP after).
My question wasn’t even remotely in the context of a bad call. You weren’t even directly referencing one.

If you can’t keep the discussion in context, you can have it – I don’t care.
My whole point to this was to clarify my comment and make note of either how you chose to take it, or how I literally meant it either one wasn’t “trashing” other posters as you aptly put.
Thanks though.

+1
our pitching has been great, and is it so hard to believe that we have just run into average pitchers who pitched well the last few games? Not to mention Jurrjens and Harden are pretty good pitchers.
"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."
