Otto gets out of it, but yeah... that didn't make any sense. If he was going to get Chappy up anyway, he should've been ready for Moreland.
LOL no shit

Yeah he's a pitchers ump no doubt with that outside pitch but he's been calling it a strike all night. The hitters have to adjust. I'd be more pisssed if he wasn't consistent with it.
Yeah, god forbid umpires actually get evaluated like the rest of the world and be told to do better. You cannot ask hitters to swing at balls 4 inches outside of the zone. How about the ump be accountable for the shit job he does?
I don’t give a rats ass about consistency. Being consistently wrong doesn’t make it right. Be better at your job. The fact these guys aren’t evaluated and held accountable is mind numbing. And if they ARE being held accountable, why do they continue to get to use the “pitchers ump” excuse? A strike is a freakin strike. We don’t get to make our own rules. It’s frustrating as all hell.
I agree and in now way saying it's acceptable. They should be better no question.
I'm only pointing out its been going on forever in baseball and he has for the most part been calling that pitch off the plate a strike all night. We can see it and the hitters should to.
They need to adjust to that or accept being punched out. It sucks but that's the reality tonight. If he was back and forth with it then yeah, I think they'd bemore prone to take it and hope maybe this time he gets it right but it's not happening like that tonight and at least he's been consistent in that shitty call. That can be adjusted to but inconsistency can't.

If the decision is between arc and you, you’re not going to like the results. arc is an awesome poster and we’ll respected. Nobody knows who the hell you are. So a word of advice? Tone it down and contribute or get lost. You’re obviously a dupe, and I don’t care either way. But please don’t ruin game threads.

Expecting a player to swing at a ball that far off the plate is ludicrous. There’s nothing they can do with that pitch. I would watch it go by 1000 times out of 1000. You have to trust the IMO to be competent at his job. You can’t just sail away at a pitch out of the zone because the ump may call it a strike
Wipes a lot of that bad taste from the weekend away.
Hopefully we're starting to even out a little and get on track. Gary is on the way back. Stanton is working his way. Hicks is feeling good.
Not all of the reinforcements are on the way, but some are... and those guys will definitely help. We should get a couple back before May.
Not sure if we'll get all these games in against KC - weather is looking iffy - but I'd really like to see us take 3 of 4 there.
Players in the booth from the Scooter to Murcer, Kaat, to the guys we have now have all said the same thing. Umps miss calls all the time but they just want them to be consistent so they can adjust as the game goes on.
I wish it wasn't that way but it is. Again, it's not acceptable to me either but I get more pissed at umps who are inconsistent. That really drives me nuts.
Thankfully it didn't cost us tonight and a fantastic win by our guys and even more so because it was against the Sox!

I wanted to wait until after the game to respond out of respect.
I am yes, a recent member. I am also a Yankee fan of over 45 years. I have lurked this board for a while. I found it annoying that I was called out for being a dupe by somebody and I responded. I cant see how his response to me was necessary while my response was tame and tongue in cheek.
Good win for the Yanks. Many of you need to lighten up
But Chapman's velo is edging up. 98-100 with close to a wipe out slider.
Love that Gardy wins it on an 0-2 grand slam...
How great has Frazier been? Finally got his shot and he’s running with it
So keep making them!

Absolutely section. I agree all around.
I'm as annoyed as anyone else with those calls, but I was just trying to point out he was consistent with it, and I get less annoyed when an ump is consistent with a pitch all night than when he's inconsistent with it.
I certainly wasn't giving him a pass for making those bad calls.
Let's roll the Royals next and keep the momentum going.

Haven't seen them on there...
He had 134 ABs in 2017. I think once you reach 130 AB is a year, that is your rookie year...iirc.
Haven't seen them on there...
Only the gameson YES are on the Fox app. The games in Pix11 are not.

ask for is a consistent strike zone, it is still annoying that guys with really good eyes gets punched out on balls 4 inches off the plate.

Eman, I get it. But the thing that drives me insane is that these umps obviously have no accountability. Why hasn’t someone pulled this guy aside and showed him the video. Say “look, those pitches are not strikes”. Why does he get to keep running out there calling shitty games? Where the accountability? In this day and age of technology, simply saying he’s a pitchers ump doesn’t fly. Be better. That’s all I ask

Absolutely man. You'd think they'd get reviewed and evaluated just like players do but we never hear if that happens.
Plus the whole you can't argue balls and strikes just gives these umps even more power and it's like a built in excuse to not have to account for anything. They're judge and jury and it doesn't seem like there is much recourse.
I know teams can file complaints but we never see much if any improvement. Just look at guys like Angel Hernandez and CB Buckner still having jobs for proof it's not a performance based job. Maybe if they were all forced to face the media post game like players it would help. Could you imagine the ump tonight being asked over and over by reporters about those outside pitches? Now that's a postgame I'd watch!
2 in a row
As much as I’ve been down on Gardy as an every-day player and leadoff hitter, nice piece of hitting in a big spot
Nice little mini-leverage spot to get to see Kahnle tonight. He looks good.
More and more, we’re going to look back on this shitty string of injuries and underwhelming play and think “hey, at least we were forced to give Frazier a truly every-day big league look”. The kid can hit. He should be part of the equation for this team. Maybe he’s here long term and maybe he isn’t, but the point is that he has real value.
Nice win.
That's gone, and his swing looks really sweet.
Haha - I guess Vazquez's HR wasn't porched? As O'Neill said last night, maybe it wasn't a HR in any other stadium, but it was at least a double and probably bases clearing at that...so much ado about nothing.

Whenever I read though the popular Red Sox board following a big NYY win, the talk there invariably devolves into what a joke of a stadium "the toilet" is with the short RF porch, and today is no exception. Same with the few Red Sox friends I have at work. They never want to talk about the shortest HR in ball--the 302ft shot to Pesky Pole in Fenway--nor the Green Monster...stickball anyone?

Yup. To me it's silly to complain about dimensions in ball parks. Their differences are part of baseball's charm to me.
Complaining about them or making excuses comes across as sour grapes to me because I think we've all seen visiting teams also take advantage of the porch, Pesky pole, Green Monster etc.
The Rays will cool off. It's the best run organization in the game, perhaps, but I don't think they have the horses to keep this up. I think the Yankees will not only catch the Rays, but will be fine by season's end for at least a wild card spot.
I have no idea whether on the whole that's a 75-win team or a 90-win team.

They are off to a great start like the Sawx
last year, don't think they are a fluke....
At least as far as being a good team, it's a long season.
I am not saying they will do anything like the Sawx,
simply pointing out a similar great start.
The Sawx started out 17-2 last year IIRC.
The Yanks need to tread water for awhile, until the walking wounded start coming back.
Not quite this legit - but they're good.
That said, they're not the 108-win team Boston was last year and the Yanks are better when reasonably healthy.
Will we get reasonably healthy this year? I hope so.
I'm not going to write Boston off yet. Not for a while. But they have real problems there that I don't think are just going to disappear... especially with their pitching.
:)
