Unreal
What in the literal fuck did I just witness. I’m in disbelief.
I don’t usually get pissed this season after a loss but that one is infuriating.
If Im Q I’m taking the lineup card out tomorrow and getting tossed at the plate meeting
I mean even the Sox commentators were surprised that wasn’t a strike. Just saying.
Well, at least Ragans looks like the real deal
Proper fucked
Ump needs to be executed
Unbelievable. Un-fucking-believable. Losing is fine, losing is part of playing, but that??? I’m absolutely livid. Cheapest walk off slam of all time.
i like seeing q stick up for the guys, i hate that weve had two ump shows so close together both when it really mattered
Imagine celebrating like that after being gifted an extra out at the most crucial point in the game.
Congrats, Sox. You needed help from the umps to beat the 2023 Royals. We’ll save you a seat next to us when the playoffs roll around.
Dear MLB,
Eat shit.
Sincerely,
Everyone watching your dogshit umps constantly fuck up games
Umps must hate us the past couple days.
Horrible. Then he knew he was wrong so he tosses Q to double-down on his absolute trillion percent wrong call.
Hope all the fans in Boston enjoyed the Carapazza’s game tonight
Fuck you, Vic Carapazza
Yeah, I am not going to blame Carlos, that is some bullshit
I’d care more if we were competing, but that was tough. Ump sold hard.
I’m cool with the Sox getting a grand slam cuz thats great for a team but that was the most undeserving grand slam of all time
Absolutely a shit(ump) show 9th derailing what was a marvelous game from Cole Ragans. Dude is legit, MLB umpiring however is not
Ump is a fuckin schmuck
Blind as fuck….he might as well have completed the swing.
Positives are Ragans, Bobby, and Q showing some fire. Frustrating loss.
Ignoring the last inning fuckery, Regans dominated this Red Sox lineup and I’m pumped we got him for half a year of Chapman
Umps are on the Sport betters’s payroll.
They need to let that shit be reviewable, even the batter knew he was fucking out. The only thing that fucking matters is shit being called correctly.
I’ve seen the replay 3 times now, and am wondering…
who asked for the appeal? I thought either the catcher or batter had to request an appeal, and the home plate umpire had to ask for a ruling.
I didn’t see the batter nor Fermin ask for an appeal, so why did the 1st base ump get to overturn the home plate ump?
I’m just happy that I am starting to give a shit about bullshit like this instead of not caring
Carapazza’s really loving that Red Sox Nation at Fenway.
Being at Fenway made this hurt 100 times worse. I might’ve lost my lungs yelling at Carrapazza
Well it’s cool that our coaches saw and fixed something with Aroldis Chapman and then flipped him for a future CYA.
