Gagne
- Thread starter big papi
- Start date
cuzzi squeezed him hard
he must have been informed by the powers that be that he has to do all in his power to make sure that he sided with the 30 cent line drop. cuzzi 100 percent on the take. Haven't seen an ump cheat that bad in a while......pretty bad.
gagne wasn't great, but cuzzi is the reason
fck cuzzi.......cheater

Because they released Turnbow, ANOTHER BLOWAS$ PIECE OF CHIT!!!!
Pointing out Gagne may get you some flack around here:142smilie They need to let him get back on the ROIDS!!!
Yeah......Ned Yost.
He continues to trot these guys out there game after game.
I mean, how many times do you keep drinking from a spoiled carton of milk, before you buy another one?
"There were some calls that could have gone either way that we thought we strikes," Yost said. "But not the majority of them. We're talking two or three pitches."
Ned goes out of his way to avoid blaming the umps, but we are certainly not talking about a team that gets a lot of breaks, to say the least. Add that tight strike zone to having to get 4 outs in the 9th due to a missed call at 1B, you're going to struggle, especially since Gagne is not a guy who just throws 97 and dares you to hit it.
To me, the 2-2 pitch to Berkman, which looked to cut the plate in half and was maybe a half-inch high, is a strike about half the time. Gagne has looked like he has gotten squeezed in almost every outing...at some point, that defies coincidence. Not sure if it has to do with how much his stuff moves, or if he lives on the corners, or what.
Add that to the blown call at 2B (which the Crew actually got the call on) and the play at home in which it appeared Sheets was tagged on his back well after he stepped on the plate; it's been far from good judgments being made, as almost every close call seems to be incorrect. When Cruz was thrown out (supposedly) by Hart, Cecil Cooper correctly pointed out that the runner had not just beat the throw, he was standing up after the slide, a good "beat" before the throw was caught.
Right now, unless it's a game like the 19-5 defeat, you just gotta hope to break even on the questionable ones. It's nothing that a few HR's won't take care of, but many games the team seems to be playing uphill. Maybe that will all even out, but after a month, it has not.
