[Morgs]

So far umpy giving Happ the pitches, and Boruki nothing.

 

[canucksfan]

He's been a bit unlucky but walking the first two batters won't help.

 

[canucksfan]

Good news is Baltimore is the next series.

What happened to Borucki?

 

[canucksfan]

What happened to Borucki?

Walked the first two. Then gave up three singles one of them was a hard hit grounder the other two were soft grounders hit in the right place. The he gave up a slam to Bird. Borucki needs to finish guys. Not enough strikeouts.

 

[The Nemesis]

I have to imagine that hell for Buck is having to pronounce "Higashioka" 50 times a game. He's struggling more than usual.

Damn

 

[The Nemesis]

So Buck no-sells the Grichuk HR, then he pimps the hell out of Jansen bouncing one off the wall for a double.

Fantastic.

 

[canucksfan]

I believe Jansen will develop some good power. He's a big guy with a good approach

 

[The Nemesis]

Justin Shafer weraing #66.

Man, that is so disrespectful to Mario Lemieux

EDIT: And Munenori Kawasaki

Why is any new stadiums built with no roof?

 

[The Nemesis]

Why is any new stadiums built with no roof?

Because the Yankees faithful would've probably lost their **** if NuYankee Stadium was anything less than a mostly faithful recreation of the old Yankee Stadium. Screaming, stuffy traditionalists would've clicked their tongues and spit out mouthfuls of artisinal crafted whiskey if the hallowed Yankee grounds had something as untraditional as a retractable roof.

 

[The Nemesis]

Dammit, Kevin.

Also earlier today Tabler commented "Pillar's back to being aggressive lately" or something like that.

I disagree because Pillar always looks aggressive. He can't not be aggressive at the plate. That's basically his entire problem.

 

[Del Preston]

Gibbons wants to go have a beer.

 

[The Nemesis]

Quick hook there, ump. But I guess we have to stop managers from assaulting your fragile little egos.

 

[The Nemesis]

Pete Walker doing his best not to crack up as Gibby continues to rail at the ump.

 

[canucksfan]

If Pannone is in is he still going to start on Wednesday?

 

[trellaine201]

Wow 10-2

 

[The Nemesis]

If Pannone is in is he still going to start on Wednesday?

I doubt it. Not unless he throws like <20 pitches.

 

[Del Preston]

That was Gibbons' 50th career ejection.

 

[The Nemesis]

That was Gibbons' 50th career ejection.

He's got a ways to go to catch (no surprise) Bobby Cox, who finished up with 161 career ejections.

But 50 would apparently tie him for 15th place all time. And put him shockingly just 13 behind Lou Pinella.

I was looking for how many Gibbons had and found this site:

2018 MLB Ejections - Umpire Ejection Fantasy League Portal

Who knew there was an Umpire Ejection Fantasy League? Lol.

Looks like Clinton Hurdle is at 52 now to move into 14th spot, so Gibbons needs one more to tie Bill Rigney for 15th.

 

[canucksfan]

Dan and Buck so much better

 

[Anthrax442]

gibby is awesome
