For the sake of all things that are good, Ubaldo,
please go 9 today. And win, while you’re at it.

I had a dream last night...
We were up by one and the score was some crazy number like 20-19 or something like that. It was only the third inning, but we didn’t want to lose the lead, so we had Street pitch for seven innings.
The bullpen is giving me nightmares.

that was a ludicrous pitch
probably a ball, but at that speed and that close, easy call for the umpire. Reynolds probably did get jobbed a bit, but that’s what you want the pitcher to do.

Gameday has it as a strike
right on the edge
by realmenwearpurple on Jul 22, 2009 1:24 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
on the top-view replay
it was clearly off, definitely not on the edge, but well within the zone that umpires often call. Too close for Reynolds to take.

Ubaldo
throws sliders/changeups when he just needs to throw his heat. See..throws his heat and freezes Reynolds. That’s what he needs to do
by GoRockies!! on Jul 22, 2009 1:22 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs
Agreed.
Establish your fastball in the early innings, and then later on mix in off-speed stuff when they are already expecting the fastball. Especially when you can throw as hard as he does.

by realmenwearpurple on Jul 22, 2009 1:24 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
You always hear pitching coaches and managers
talking about how everything keys off the fastball. If you can command your fastball, the other pitches become more effective. But until you’ve established that your fastball is a weapon, they can wait for a hanging off-speed pitch.

because it was off the plate.
Probably too close to take, though.

Gameday called it a strike. Also called the inside fastball a strike. In fact, according to gameday, only two of seven pitches failed to touch the zones

Unless the ump is wildly inaccurate,
Gameday calls everything the ump calls a strike, a strike. You’ll even see that they go back and change the placement of some pitches on Gameday after the game.

That is not the case.

do they change outlier calls after the inning to look like the umpire is more accurate?

Nine pitches in the ab to Reynolds. Two balls, none in the middle of the zone, seven right on the edge, with all of them low except a 99mph heater. He was really locating, with gas, change and slider. Wow

yep
they showed a slo-mo of his change/forkball and that thing had some serious break. If he ever learns how to use that pitch effectively (ie, not just as a change of pace) he could be unstoppable. Probably not at Santana level, but Santana can’t hit 99.

When
even very good umpires can’t agree across the board as to what a balk is, I’m not sure how you can just point to MLB’s rules and call them “clarified”.

by DbacksSkins on Jul 22, 2009 2:26 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
That comes down to the fact that a lot of umpiring
is personal judgment of what they see. Did they see the ball in the glove or the foot on the bag first? Did they see the ball outside the plate? MLB provides the framework for defining a balk, the umpire has to determine if what they saw violates those rules.
Basically, they’d each have to see a movement, decide if they thought it was a balk, and call it. You’d get some who thought it was fine, while others call a balk. It really depends on how tightly those umpires interpret the rule. Can’t really “clarify” judgment calls further than that.

Whitesell did sort of get boned there
I think Street would have closed it out anyway w/2 outs though.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!

I usually don't like to complain about umpiring
they are usually at least pretty consistent. Today, he was not.

well
we shouldn’t complain about umpiring for awhile. That ump just wanted the game over…

The thing is
he had called it a strike a lot earlier in the game. Call it or not, at least be consistent.

I hope it is 120K +
I wish I had a few hundred extra bucks to fly out and see some games.

It will be this weekend.
They are expecting an average of 45K from what I’ve heard.

Josh
got SCREWED there.
Strike 2 and strike 3 were even further off the plate than ball 2.

So is Reyburn the new host of Press Your Luck?
The Angel Hernandez gif seems appropriate at this point…

He had been calling it earlier in the game
so ball 2 could have been a strike just as much as the other 2 balls. I agree he sucked, but he was bad for both sides… hard to be a hitter with an ump like that.

If consistency in the game is too much to ask,
then at LEAST give us consistency in the inning. If that’s too much, THEN AT LEAST CONSISTENCY ON THE SAME BATTER.
Not just hard to be a hitter like that. Hard to be a pitcher, too, with an amorphous K zone like that.
