No one can pitch if the strike zone is as small as that ump thinks it was for Kaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were delayed now, how long until they call the game? If it is official does that mean that this game could end right now and the phillies win if they did not come out of the delay?

Game suspended, Hamils done for the night (?) and we're even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the announcers hinted at how waiting for TB to score a run "got everyone off the hook." Kudos for TB getting that run in the mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replay NEEDS to be added for this situation. It won't slow down the game at all b/c it would take all of 3 seconds for the video crew to correct it, and Maddon came out and gave the ump an earful anyway. So the delay would have happened regardless, so why not get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
