Ump ruined this world series
- Thread starter eeeerock
- Start date
Not saying St Louis didn't deserve to win or wouldn't win the game but I felt the ump was very inconsistent with his strike zone.Not mad about Cards winning as they have been very respectfull in interviews and the Freese story is awesome.LaRussa is a helluva manager and whether or not Holliday was really hurt it shows his smarts not having him out there tonight.Paid dividends for the Cards.....Really thought the game should have been a 3-2 or 4-2 game at best if ump stayed consistent with his strike zone.Meaning Feldman would have been out of inning and it would have been or could have been a different outcome.Just feel Feldman got a raw deal for the pitches he made.Then Carp throws a ball out of the zone and the ump rings it up.Home field I guess!!!!Great story for Freese though!!!!!JUST DON'T PASS OUT ON THE WAY HOME TONY!!!!!
Tony has his wife with him tonight so he can drink all he wants :0074
I think you could use one too and rock on brother :toast:
Schilling just proved my point by what the ump called,and he was a pitcher.Think he knows the strike zone!!!!
Watched the game and had St Louis, pitch to Molina was a strike. Still, it would have only effected the total and made it 4-2. Still, texas had zero calls for them offensively on border line strikes and STL had the calls and this comes from someone who had STL for 3/4 of a dime. Glad I was lucky! However, would have been irritated if I had the Under bigtime
Thanks for an honest outlook,just think the ump took away from a great series.Texas couldn't try and work the count,they had to try and hit their way on.If only down 2 u only need 1 base runner,but down 3 u need hits,they just didn't get the same calls,home field advantage I guess,good job NL all stars.....That is still a stupid rule for home field,give the team with the most wins home field.That is a whole nother topic though..
Here is my take.. I have been drinking but, the Rangers are down a run with a guy on first. 2 - 0 pitch to Hamilton which is way outside is called a strike. 3-0 and he would of walked, instead its 2 -1 and fouls off to third.. (5th innning)
But Washington cost this team.. Wilson should of started tonight and here is the dumbest move of the night and I said it at the time at the bar..
TOP of 5 lead off guy is on first down 3 -2 and Washington has the #2 hitter bunting (Andrus :shrug: ).. In the top of the 5th? You have to figure that even getting that run across is not enough. You have to play for the big inning especially the pitching situation.. So what if you tie the game at three.. You still have a pitching mess later..
Saying that I did not have money on tonight but stilll thinik Texas was squeezed a bit more and that called strike to Hamilton was brutal and cost Texas 2 runners on with one out but Cards deserved to win

If you want someone to blame, try Ron Washington. He is a moron.
It was like LaRussa was playing chess with a 4 year old.
He has bases loaded in game six and puts his pitcher back in the game to hit? Moron
He brings a starting pitcher into a game with the bases loaded AND who was clearly not ready. Schilling said that too, you think he knows about being ready?

The strike zone was inconsistent, but that is part of the game. Pujols got called out the night before on the same damn pitch that was just called a ball. The Cards wanted it more, period. I saw no fight out of the Rangers in the last 2-3 innings last night and that showed me all I needed to know.
When Carp got settled down, it was O-V-E-R. Washington needs to quit being a fawking cheerleader and learn how to manage.

I have to say I did not care who won and I watched almost every game......I think they were evenly matched.....which made it one of the best world series.......that being said I think any other team in the AL playoffs ( even the red sox) would have won it I just don't think Texas is that good of a team.....I told a buddy before game 6 it'll go 7 and the team that suckles will win it all.....but like I said it was fun to watch because every game was so close ( almost every game)..........HOW BOUT Those phillies
