Giants @ Astros, 5/2/2023

Takes a special effort to umpire a game so badly it makes you forget how inept this offense is.

The Giants tried to call time to avoid a pitch clock violation, which would have been ball four. They didn’t have any mound visits left, but who cares in Mark Wegner’s world.

Like I asked from the Astros point…“why?”

If I could explain why Baker can’t be bothered to defend his players sometimes, I’d be a rich man. I can’t.

How many had they used prior to that at bat?

2 according to the SF announcers, but somehow that one didn’t count?

According to McTaggart, Baker was told the scoreboard was wrong when the Giants called time in the 3-2 count to avoid the pitch timer violation on Doval. The scoreboard showed the Giants had no visits left, but the umps told Baker they had one left.

It counted, but if they had two left, they were allowed to use them. I didn’t remember that many earlier in the game, so I wasn’t surprised they used them. But I wasn’t counting.

The beauty of baseball (well one of the beauties) is there is always another game tomorrow.

The math checks out, sir.

When will then be now?

Now is always then, there is no “current time”

Time is relative anyway, and only exists in these three dimensions.

My understanding is that time is a flat circle?

Lies, damn lies, and statistics.

He was consistently wrong so he scored well.

This is the point where we remind everyone that there is exactly zero accountability. Wegner was horrible last night. Like generationally horrible, yet he gets a pat on the back for only blowing 7 calls. He missed 7 calls per inning. This will not change until there are roboumps.

That’s obviously got to be somebody else’s card, because that’s not 1/10th of that clown’s misses last night.
