Re: 5/6 GC
I'm at the game and it's excruciating. It's bad enough that Lynn takes his sweet ass time on the mound, but you addin a challenge and I'm fighting to keep my eyes open.

He might be drunk again. He just finished saying Lynn was "settling in" when Rizzo launched a hanging slider into the big river you guys got over there.

McLaughlin is drunk. He just said Ross hit a leadoff double with one out.

Re: 5/6 GC
Did Lynn just yell "Fuck you" at the plate umpire?

Re: 5/6 GC
That might have been a better time for Matt Adams rather than pinch hitting him against Lester.

That was indeed me.
Was Lynn as pissy on the mound last night as it seemed from being 400 feet away?

Abso-friggin-lutely. I thought he yelled "Fuck you" at the plate umpire as he was coming off the mound in the sixth, but he would have been tossed for that, and he wasn't. The plate ump was getting it from both sides. Maddon got chucked for saying "You've been fucking my guys all night" to the plate umpire. The field mic picked it up clearly and then cut out. Matheny was on him from the dugout a couple of times, too, but as we've all been made aware, Matheny doesn't use *those* words.
If the Fox strike zone graphic is to be belived, I don't know if I've ever seen a plate umpire miss more pitches. I'd like to see one of those charts that shows how many balls were calls strikes, and vice-versa.

Re: 5/6 GC
And that's what's going to hold Lynn back. Somebody has to pull him aside and say, "You're in your fourth season as a starter. This is your fifth big league season. Umpires suck, but you can't let it get to you. The team lost its ace and leader of the pitching staff. They need you to elevate your game. Now grow the fuck up."
Michael Wacha got screwed over by some bad and calls two weeks ago in Washington, yet he didn't stomp around on the mound like a pissy little child and let it affect him. He went out and matched Max Scherzer. Just shows that one guy has composure and can pitch through circumstances and another can't.

Re: 5/6 GC
The chart indicates there were five pitches inside the strike zone that were called balls, 11 borderline strikes that were called balls; four pitches outside the zone that were called strikes, and 10 borderline balls that were called strikes. So he missed nine pitches outright, and there were 21 borderline pitches. Let's split the difference at 10.5, round down to give him the benefit of the doubt, and say he missed 19 pitches. There were 240 pitches in the game, meaning he missed 6.8 percent. That's unacceptable for a major league umpire.

I don't disagree, but there aren't too many players who are going to compare favorably to Michael Wacha, in terms of either talent or demeanor.
