Astros @ Dodgers, 6/24/2023

This is very true.

Anyway, letā€™s not lose sight of the fact that Abreu totally shit the bed and pitched to two more batters than he should have.

No itā€™s not, Abreu had that handled and Dusty got his nap in which didnā€™t help. But that was umpire malfeasance.

But this game has not been on the level.

The zone was inconsistent in the top of the 8th, and the ump got the rule wrong on the balk.

LA was gifted that inning.

All called strikes

Another Valentine, another ā€œtravestyā€ of officiating.

And thatā€™ll do it

What a fucking shit show.

Incredible!!!

What a screw-job!

Meh. This team kills me.

Why they didnā€™t steal Tucker and instead let that disaster hit into a double play is another puzzler.

No, Stanek knew absolutely full well that he would get himself tossed.

Astros gave up 8 runs on five hits. You canā€™t win that game. Period.

And Diaz takes a FB down the middle

Swings at slider in dirt

Flies out to RF of slightly better slider outside

Ballgame. Fuck.

This is game number about #16 that has been a total kick in the nuts of a loss

What a fucking joke this team is right now. Fuck it all. Its drinking time.

True, but Stanek was right

I just remembered how much I hate the Dodger cocksuckers.

Both losses to LA were winnable games.

Thing is, you donā€™t call a balk on that. The whole rule is built off ā€˜intent to deceiveā€™.

Valentine made a bad call and thereā€™s no two ways about it
