    Juiced balls in 2019 = record for homeruns
    Unjuiced balls in 2021 = record for most no hitters

    Are we going to strand two runners for the third straight inning?

    Looks too much like yesterday's game... good job getting on base, good job on making the pitcher work, but not much to show for it.

    A's on offense paper cuts you to death. Astros offense pours salt on those cuts with leaving RISP

    You’re on a roll. 3 for 3. Get a lotto ticket or get to Vegas but whatever you do stop predicting bad things for us! :D

    It's not a conspiracy theory, it's a combination of factors.

    Mother****ing umps again... they need to be better.

    Why not have the TV feed box with dots somewhere in the stadium. It should be able to be broadcasted real time. At least the fans can see what the umps are missing at the game... they already see it on the broadcast.

    That was the 4th time in 5 innings that a terrible call by the HPU led to a runner getting on base. Just atrocious. Why isn't the players union demanding that MLB do something? These misses effect everyone's stats and sure you can say perhaps they even out on a macro scale but as an individual player why would you let poor umpiring impact you like that?

    Are we going to see Yordan hit a grand slam next inning?

    I am consistently amazed at how well the hitters and pitchers know the zone. Universally bad/missed calls are immediately recognized. There are rarely complaints on “correct” calls.
