Damn, Stros left way too many innings like that in these playoffs. Should’ve tallied more chalk.

For fuck’s sake really? Way to try to cheapen Framber’s accomplishments

This thing is the talk of baseball social media world right now. Everyone knows you’re nothing but cheaters. Again.

It's hilarious how easily sheep fall for these conspiracy theories. Sheep whose teams have already been swept by the Astros. Umps checked Framber every inning, found nothing. Jokes on them, they would have found the buzzer on Jose but they didn't ask him to take off his shirt.

OMG, he's drying off his sweaty glove hand after the inning.

And Framber is a big league sweater.

Anything that comes off with one wipe on a shirt won't help the spin of a ball.

Good game from an entertainment standpoint, great game for the Phillies fans.

Tough loss for the 'Stros at home.  Six more to play and we'll see what happens.

This is the hard hitting analysis we are looking for. Maddenesque.

Can MLB ever accept just how fucking great the franchise is in Houston, TX?

But hell, MLB must be in on it this time; as Valdez got checked walking off the field at least 6 times.  Crank that tinfoil, haters!!!

Why the fuck did they knowingly let Maldonado use an illegal bat?

They didn’t. It’s not a ‘illegal bat’ issue, it’s an issue of you bring a grown man whose feelings get hurt by the Astros. 😂

He used it in game one.  It was discovered and they switched.  Also, the illegality of it was due to safety, not any sort of fucking advantage.

You are completely insufferable. It is pretty fucking funny that you are here whining when you didn't show your bitchass face as the Astros drug their sack across your precious Yankees' faces.  You are worse than an aggy.  Do us all a favor and stop being such a whiny cunt.

Just want to point out that the list of Yankee World Champion juiceheads includes Alex Rodriguez, Jason Giambi, Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte, and probably plenty more.

Your adopted team cheated its ass off, Helo.

But Framber can't wipe some sweat away?

Shut your fucking neck and take the 4 season-ending losses to Houston, you pathetic, hypocritical, bandwagon-jumping loser.

Edited by TexArcher

It occurs to me that the Astros have the baseball gods on their side specifically because idiots like Helobious and Passan never shut up about the sign stealing from 5 years ago. A type of cheating that has been happening for over 100 years in Major League Baseball. The Astros are good but 6 LCS in a row requires some good fortune and the favor of the baseball gods. 

So thanks to them all, I worry that when they finally just accept that the Astros were and are a better team that the postseason winning will regress to the mean. 

Fucking love it! Let the HATE flowwwwwww fucking Yankees fans. Enjoy the World Series from the recliner you gutter rat guido fucks.

Is that right? I literally remember seeing a few pitches light up as a strike but he called a ball?

Umps get a 2" cushion in MLB's grading system so they can miss a call and not be dinged for it.

Weird. Wouldn’t missing a call mean you didn’t call a perfect game. I mean he was way better than the game 1 ump. That dude sucked.

There was a game earlier in the year where Angel Hernandez incorrectly punched out 6 hitters and still graded out with a 96 because of the cushion.

So your only job is to assess a pitch's location, relative to an imaginary box, and you get a 2" cushion when you're wrong? OK. Then why not give the pitcher that same cushion? I mean, he actually had to do something beside watch. 

MLB let them have the cushion in the last CBA with the Umpire's Union. It's really stupid, but not really surprising considering how many terrible umpires there are.  If they graded based on the actual strikezone they would have to explain how it was ok that shitty umpires sometimes miss 20 or 30 calls in a game.

FIFY

I agree some sort of cushion is okay, but 2 inches is too much. I think a 1 inch cushion is completely reasonable when comparing human umps to machines.

Now of course I want the machines to call balls and strikes but if they're not then dinging an umpire for calling a strike on a ball that missed the zone by 1/64" is silly, or calling a ball on a pitch that caught the zone by half of one stitch on the very front edge of the zone before being caught 2-3 inches wide of the plate.

Angel Hernandez is the worst.

angek hernandez, joe west, and cb bucknor is probably the holy trinity of POS umpires in my lifetime.
