Until they go to the automated, it's something we have to learn to stomach. I watch a lot of baseball and even though we don't like to admit it, the calls even out.

according to strike zone on MLB.com, Park was called out on ball 2 and it doesn't look close to a strike.

Bullpen has faltered badly in 4 of the last 5 games.

Tough losses

Another bad call to end the game- that's the way it goes

The HP ump sucks, what a crap call.

Certainly agree with you on that but bucs are not hitting either. Tonight we had men on but couldn't `drive them in.

3-4-5 hitters 0-12 tonight with 8 strikeouts. Last night it was the 2-3 hitters going 0-8 with a couple of K's. It's pretty tough on the offense when you get guys at the top of the order going back to back to back oh fours.

I wish they would have just DFA'd VanMeter. Right now there's him, Castillo, Park, and Chavis all basically the same role. Just hate seeing him play so Madris could sit.

It's pretty hard to be affective when the HP ump missed two third strikes giving him a free pass. So instead of being out of the inning you have to pitch to another batter. The odds are against you when things like that happens. I'm incensed at how bad those calls were at the most crucial time in the game.

Agree with you Skinny. The calls were bad especially the last one on Park. But like another poster said, it usually goes both ways
