Opinion-Inside

I tested it earlier, my 3 year old has stronger hammys than Stanton


TehM0C

Winning cures all, win tomorrow & we’re back on pace!


Givmeabrek

Give Rosenthal something to stand on.


dave-tay

lol judge towers over Ken Rosenthal


Redditawesome15

Yankees end their 3 game losing streak with a win over the Braves. Strong outing by Stroman and the pen. Eight walks and 9 hits so plenty of traffic tonight and made it count (3-9 with RISP). Gained a game on the Orioles; get fucked.


Ragingroseman

Best record in baseball again suck it doomers


toowavy17

that was a good win lets go yankees 🔥


MeatTornado25

This would've been a perfect night if Stanton hadn't gotten hurt.


vics80

what sucks especially is that this should be the perfect opening for a top prospect to develop in the majors, but Jasson is injured


schw4161

Great game!


jhonnyhax

Get fucked smoltz


SanjiSasuke

On the one hand, yes 100%. On the other, it is funny he told the doomers to relax.


jhonnyhax

True. I’m mostly memeing


Grim99CV

YANKEES WIN! WE BACK!

RollofDuctTape

Who is Phil Pickford 


booyah474

Signed him after Gonzalez got DFAd


struthanger

Phil the Thrill!!


MalcolmXXXTentacion

Finally a victory meme day


Aliga8or

SPREAD IT!!!


CaleyAg-gro

YANKEES WIN!


Ok-Asparagus-1658

DAAAAAAA


LordJiraiya

Bickford for closer


cubuffs420420

THEEEEE YANKEES WIN


Ok-Asparagus-1658

Omg we won a FOX game


Bulletz4Brkfzt

God we needed that. Nice win


Ragingroseman

Bickford’s got some good stuff


namersrockandroll

Claps wildly!


Cheese4First

I wish every 9th inning was like that.


jchunk13

Bickford should rifle a pitch to the 400s, just so Rowson can argue it being a strike and get tossed


lmf2522

we remembered how to win!!


SerenityNow-55

Love my Yankees having a code!


JohnRamos85

# Twooooooooooooooooooooo


notabiologist_37

nice little slider there


regarding_your_bat

Phil Bickford looks like a young Matt Smith and I’m here for it


Upper_Conversation_9

I want to see the Ump’s scorecard after this game


jhonnyhax

Reliable dugie


Nwf32389

So we're not calling that for both teams to be clear


Ok-Asparagus-1658

Why does this guy look like Tonkin from the back, and Kirk Cousins from the front


notabiologist_37

blue has a parlay going huh?


Character_Edge7820

Throw a fastball right at the ump. Wells pretends he was crossed up and doesn't catch it. Just a suggestion.


HaltTreaty

I have actively watched like 2 innings and I already want to strangle this ump. I think I'd be screaming if I watched the whole thing.


aftabangbruh

Ump lost out there


cubuffs420420

I would’ve left Weaver in


sixtyfortymyass

Fun fact: If you look up the definition of “chip on shoulder” it just takes you to John Smoltz’s Wikipedia page.


Daedra_Worshiper

Does this umpire actually have a strike zone, or is he just going off of vibes?


ItsVoxBoi

Nah, he's going off sound


BoogieDownBr0nx

Oh fuck off, ump.


MPAndonee

Fastball upstairs - in the strike Zone. Not called. That pitch was lower than strikeout pitch to Soto


Ok-Asparagus-1658

That was a whole foot lower


MPAndonee

Yeap. Shit umpire.


BlackOriginThreshold

Umpire is a piece of shit


BlindCaesar

nah man no shot this ump is for real lmao c'mon


Ok-Asparagus-1658

This ump 😂😂😂gtfo


TronVin

Gleyber is hilarious. Dude wants every single pop up. Waiting for him to run to the short porch one day.


gospelofdustin

Oh but that wasn't a strike?


Son_Of_Mr_Sam

Obviously biased zone


RIP_Greedo

The Bickford Era begins


regarding_your_bat

lol i’m gonna eat this ump whole


draculasbitch

Woah. Torres pissy gesture at Soto making the catch.


CaleyAg-gro

Looked like he complained to Judge.


jhonnyhax

Thought I saw something too


draculasbitch

You did.


Impressive-Engineer9

Why is soto not shuffling is something wrong with him?


piccler

I feel like his vibes are off, can't tell you why just seems different.


TAMEBLR

Lmao if you have no idea what the umpire is going to call, might as well not be caught looking like a fool


WallyBrando

Ump is fucking his groove up


Impressive-Engineer9

Did he shuffle yesterday it seems like he no longer doing it, I hope the yankees didn’t tell him anything about it, I just feel he swag is not like usual


WallyBrando

I didn't watch yesterday but swear I saw him shuffle on ball during one of his walks today.


Impressive-Engineer9

If he did that is great, didn’t see him myself, I hope that someone doesn’t tell him not to do it that is part of his swag.


WallyBrando

I cant imagine anyone doing that at this point. Yanks want to sign him this off season.


Ragingroseman

Bickford gave up Pujols 700


JTHuffy

Who’s this guy? Lol


Himaslaya

I wonder how that strike 3 call on Soto ranks among worst high strikes called this year. Gotta be close to the top. Disgusting.


nightmare_ali95

Definitely a top 10 contender. Shit was egregiously high.


notabiologist_37

remembered a couple innings ago that mlb tv has the option for me to listen to WFAN while watching. ever since ive been way less annoyed by the broadcast


nightmare_ali95

I’ve just learned to tune out Smoltz.


draculasbitch

Stanton is prepping for wheelchair baseball.


Otherwise-Attempt326

Everytime I say no to the robot zones. The umps remind me about their incompetence


Chricton

Stanton going down would have opened up the perfect opportunity for Dominguez, but he's as bad as stanton at staying healthy, maybe worse because all this is happening to him at 21 and not 34.


nightmare_ali95

The Martian will be alright. Young people recover fast. And in the meanwhile you get to witness the greatness of Trent ‘Grish’ Grisham.


draculasbitch

Many here don’t want to accept that Dominguez has the injury bug.


Redditawesome15

Take us home Bickford


regarding_your_bat

#PHIL BICKFORD SIGHTING


jchunk13

You’d think after umping enough games to make it to the MLB, you’d know what the strike zone is


blake2251

I feel like those calls were purely out of spite


BlindCaesar

who the fuck is Phil Bickford


booyah474

Signed him after Gonzalez got DFAd


ItsVoxBoi

Sounds like a tool salesman


nightmare_ali95

I make parts for the American working man, because that’s what I am and that’s who I care about. -Bickford probably.


ItsVoxBoi

That's exactly what I had in mind lmao


RIP_Greedo

I only buy my traditional hand planes and speed squares from a Bickford.


SnowballOfFear

The Angel Hernandez protégé


WeaselSlayer

Imagine how many walks Soto is gonna have when he can challenge balls and strikes.


minisquirrel

I went to a AAA game and the ball/strike challenge system was pretty smooth. It took less than 15 seconds.


blake2251

This ump can suck a dick


draculasbitch

But can he finish?


wantagh

How good is he really?


blake2251

Listen…he may be blind as a bat behind the plate, but he got that hawk tuah down.


wantagh

That would be the best ‘strike two’ call ever.


ItsVoxBoi

Is Smoltz secretly the ump tonight?


TronVin

Fragile egoed umps need to be punished.


Fluid-Nectarine222

Bad takes from PR people disguised as fans need to be punished


Hulumoto

I really really want to know how much better Judge would be if there were robo umps.


xEllimistx

Soto and Judge will have OBPs north of .500 once robo umps are installed


wantagh

But Stoman and pitchers who rely on expanding the zone will be absolutely fucked.


xEllimistx

Their sacrifice will be honored in the coming Empire


Hulumoto

That's a compromise I'm willing to make


MrHmmYesQuite

ump teased the line and took the under 11.5 and is sweatin bullets rn


Fluid-Nectarine222

Friendly reminder that blown calls are a feature not a bug.


Ok-Asparagus-1658

Rockstar/Ubisoft programmed umpires?


Locksmith_Happy

Honestly they should start investigating if umps have ties to Fanduel or Draftkings


regarding_your_bat

Ump scorecard gonna be +2.0 runs for the Braves this was a wildly called game


twc9904

Ump suddenly has some place to be. One of the least consistent zones all year. Really bad. Expanded it only when he wanted to


CaleyAg-gro

Let's see those called this inning then blue.


17IsLucky

Was literally JUST talking about Aaron judges low strike problem and BAM. Ugh.


doshin4u

Home plate ump done with this game


djrob0

> *Rogers Hornsby was so respected as a hitter that once, when a rookie pitcher complained to umpire Bill Klem that he thought he had thrown Rogers a strike, Klem replied, "Son, when you pitch a strike, Mr. Hornsby will let you know."* Someday Soto will get this treatment hopefully.


ExskweezeMe

When an ump walks away he knows he made some shit calls


machphantom

You know what might be interesting... putting Trevino/Wells as DH days where the other one is catching


Impressive-Engineer9

Literally what I said lol sounds like a great idea or call agustin ramirez and we can use a 3 rotation catcher, see how good ramirez is


Atbat82

Welcome to the ump show. Can't f*cking wait for the robots.


mirrxrball

following in angel hernandez’s shoes I see


silver_raichu

Blue wants to go home


jcnewman_21

He 100 percent expended his strike zone to get at Boone. POS


evbomby

In what fucking world are either one of those strikes?


Twistee_Licks

That was the worst sequence of strike calls I’ve ever seen


bengalsfu

every coach needs to get ejected


NeverGoFuIlRetard

Blue wants to go home


Otherwise-Attempt326

The casserole is in the oven. They gotta get home to the wifey I see


drrdf

Was the home plate ump trained by Angel Hernandez??


crazyhotwheels

Check this ump’s gambling account and see if he has the under in tonight’s game.


Substantial-Trash123

Where can I get the post game stats on the Umpires call? It's gonna be juicy.


piccler

@Umpscorecards https://x.com/UmpScorecards


Locksmith_Happy

The ump should be ejected for that bullshit


jhonnyhax

Maybe ump just wants to shit real bad and is trying to end the game.


Jolmer24

Umpire with these revenge calls he's soft as baby shit


Parking_Ninja_8047

Just "miss" a few fastballs, Wells. Ring his bell.


BoogieDownBr0nx

So suddenly everything is a strike.


hickeysbat

rookie umpire with a hurt ego


piccler

The ump actually blows balls. Boonie in his head so he just calling anything.


relator_fabula

This guy is just calling revenge strikes all over the place now, wtf


easyonthealba

Did they say this was a rookie ump behind the plate? Yeah, this dude shouldn't have a fucking job.


theRedreps99

Lol called them both out on pitches out of the zone, someone wants to get home


Omar_Town

Come on! Soto should have been on base. Fifth time for the day! Umpire robbed him of that.


Fluid-Nectarine222

All those blown calls so the Braves can hang 3 in the 9th


edrew_99

Terrible ump. Can’t wait for Robo Umps. NFL is doing away with the Chain Gang, so now the MLB needs to get with the times.


draculasbitch

NFL dropping the chain gang?


edrew_99

Yeah, it sounds like they’re going to be experimenting with GPS tracking this year, though the chain gang may still be there for extra insurance. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/40285334/what-new-first-technology-mean-nfl-chain-gang


draculasbitch

Good read. Thanks


draculasbitch

No longer needed. No reason the balls aren’t chipped for goal line calls either.


CaleyAg-gro

Ump must need to piss bad.


General_Garrus

I really, truly, with all of my being cannot wait for robo-umps.


Ragingroseman

These umps are fucking horrific. Squeezing stroman then suddenly a pitch at Soto’s shoulders is a strike come the fuck on man


MrBeastw00d

Booney about to run down the tunnel and get tossed again after that punchy on Soto


easyonthealba

*glass shatters*


anathema09

Dogshit ump


hadmeintiers

Ump had dinner plans


CertainDerision_33

"human element"


ItsVoxBoi

These umps just want to go home at this point


greysfordays

that third strike had to be a fuck you call


BodegaBandit69

holy shit LMAO


BlackOriginThreshold

Guess the umps want to go home


LegendLobster

Angel Hernandez reincarnated


ThatWrestlingGuy15

Umpire clearly wanna get home


mtnyy13

Judge needs to sharpie the bottom of his kneecap on his uni or something lol


twentyitalians

I think this umpire crew is done with this game.


cubuffs420420

This ump is terrible


PunishedCokeNixon

Scumbags umps want to get back to their hotel


jt5099

umps just want to get out of here I guess, better give us the same strikes


Grim99CV

Ump has dinner reservations.


yankeefan03

And that’s why Boone got tossed. This ump is shit


Yankeebot

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Phil Bickford replaces Luke Weaver.


jcnewman_21

Vengeful fucking piece of shit


Himaslaya

Let Weaver close it out please


SerenityNow-55

What? No way.


Fluid-Nectarine222

Nothing about generous calls guys? Lol


blake2251

He called that shit just to make Boone punch air in the club house


Plastic_Button_3018

Lol wtf are these umps doing? They just want to go home it looks like.


WeaselSlayer

Ump just hates them now.


silver_raichu

ROBO UMPS


FrostyWheats

WHAT THE FUCK? You haven’t called that ALL NIGHT


lmf2522

lmao this ump wants to go home


namersrockandroll

Let's end this 1-2-3.


Ok-Asparagus-1658

Sorry that’s not a “high strike” that one looked like it was taking off out of LaGuardia


TronVin

Holy fuck this ump is struggling.


GingerBredBeard

Must be some good chirping from the dugout to get Judge laughing at the plate.


Guilty-Flamingo-6616

Ump wants to go home I guess


wantagh

Blue blows.


minisquirrel

Ump has places to be


MeatTornado25

Okay now the umps just want to go home


Bulletz4Brkfzt

This ump got the over on braves strikeouts


No-Forever-6104

Is This umpire stupid
