That brings up a good point, why arent umps penalized or rewarded for their game calls? They should review every game and the best umps move up in pay and playoff appearances.
Great job by DK. I wouldn't oppose a decision of using Neshek with this lead to get his confidence back a bit.
I think there is a rating system for umps. The better rated ones do the playoffs..also probably a seniority thing.
7th inning, Qualls and Thatcher ready. Marisnick to cf, RAsmus to LF (great play he made in the 6th) I think Rasmus will be re signed. At 1b, bring Singleton or Marwin as defense sub for Carter.
Seen alot of bad umps this year, surely there are better ones waiting in the wings. Some old heads are firmly entrenched though I agree
Man, what a year Keuchel had. Enjoy that he might get his 20th win, guys. Took a perfect 15-0 this year at home to do it.
Well I said I wanted the guys to have at least one game this series where they ALL hit on all cylinders. This is that game. Thanks Stros !
Seriously. Great offense (CRUSH CITY), great pitching (CY KEUCHEL), and great defense (RASMUS OVER THE SHOULDER). Great Game.
