    This ump screwed Abreu. Should be 3-0 there. Instead he swings at the same pitch you messed up on. MLB….. fix the damn problem.

    If you don't swing, ump will call strike.

    Astros leaving a boatload of players on base, and Abreu is looking like the regular season version.

    1 ball outside the zone for a strike i get.

    2 balls outside the zone for a strike and beyond ridiculous.

    52 pitches through 3. Not low not that high. He could easily go 6

    You mean the umpire calling 2-3 inches off the plate? Shouldn’t be happening in these series. Ball wasn’t close. 3-0 count means you aren’t looking to swing at a ball that’s borderline. Astros just got screwed by the umpire there.

    If they’re going to give outside on right handed hitters then Framber should work that too

    Grossman pulled a Altuve. Similar area to I think.

    Ump is trash

    Rangers have also figured out that it's better to walk Yordan

    Tucker needs to wake up if we want to win

    Its pretty blatant, imagine having to expand the strike zone to nearly 2x for the visitors to make this an even matchup...
