should have been 1 out ump completely missed 2 pitches for walker's AB he should have been at 1st and paredes at 2nd with 1 out
Offense has struggled all season when Correa or Peña miss games. One isn't until '27.... the other has fresh lower leg discomfort. Bright side is the differential only suffers -1 and the AL still sucks.
Did we really lose because the ump wanted to be a prick about missing the call on Walker and looking for a technicality to pretend he couldn't use the replay?
hopefully cam was able to find something about his bat after this game that's already his 3rd multi-homerun game in his career and it's only his 2nd season i'm worried about altuve...............
i've seen it before. umps have been instructed if the batters look into the dugout after the pitch, that in itself negates the ability to challenge stupid rules but whatever umps should not have missed 2 pitches and walker should have just challenge immediately because it's the 9th and they were down by 4 runs
Looked like Walker didn't ask immediately because he assumed the walk. Count was full. His first steps were toward 1st. He did look in the dugout though. Pitch was 2" high though.
It was super obvious it was a ball AND the ump was a bit delayed ringing him up. Walker needs to be more deliberate/aware especially in that situation but **** that ump up one side and down the other. His mistake determined the outcome of the game. Nothing worse in sports than umps/refs determining who wins. Only thing I can think of that’s worse is finding out somebody was gambling a threw a game.
Don't know, didn't see it, but I will tell you that Brennan Miller is a horrible umpire. eta, here's just 1 AB, pitches 1 and 8 were called strikes
