    I have thought several of his calls/reviewed calls have been in favor of the Sox. I also thought he was biased against us last year.
    I could be wrong, just my opinion.

    Demand their pitchers wear sleeves.

    They favord the Sox because that was the right call. Just because they’re winning the challenges doesn’t mean there’s bias. It’s only meant that’s how the play went. Even the one last night was the right call. It was called wrong on the field.

    This ! They just don’t care ! If your a star and juiced up they don’t care. If you pitch for a big city market team and using pine tar ! They don’t give a FFFFF ! It’s all about money

    They may have gotten the call right but if the play is not reviewable then that should take precedent. You can't review a charge in the nba or PI in the NFL. You can't just all of a sudden make the rules up like they did on that foul ball.

    They didn’t review it. They put on the headset to clarify the rule. Some of you guys just watch things with rose colored glasses. Try being objective once in a while.

    Screw the head seat to clarify the rule? Clarify what?! The play was non reviewable so no need to wear some damn headsets on. So Shut yo dumb ass up and put on your rose colored glasses on you fool.

    From what I understand, the umpires got together and agreed that the ball did hit him. That is perfectly ok. They then went to the review to make sure he was in the batter's box when it hit him. Again, perfectly ok.

    Why is that perfectly okay? That does not appear on the list of reviewable plays by MLB, either.

    What I'm more interested in is, Joe Kelly's dark-looking substance on his arm in that game against the Yankees (let me look for it, I saw it somewhere). I really hate that guy, he's total trash. He takes pride in hitting batters, and when he hit Bregman, the Boston fans broke out in cheers. Total trash. And of course there was also those Patriots fans flipping off a Chiefs player and throwing cans at him after he scored a touchdown in Sunday night's game. Total trash.

    Duly noted. As I said I may have not seen it properly. Just came off eye surgery and in a lot of pain. If I saw it wrong I saw it wrong. I’m not a blame a ref person usually anyways.

    Why wouldn't it be? Unless I'm reading or seeing something wrong? Go look at V.G. http://m.mlb.com/official_rules/replay_review

    Anyone else notice that BSPN (the B is for Boston) only covers illegal baseball activities when it only against them? And not committed by them.
