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 didnât have any mound visits left, but who cares in Mark Wegnerâs world.
Like I asked from the Astros pointâŚâwhy?â
If I could explain why Baker canât be bothered to defend his players sometimes, Iâd be a rich man. I canât.
How many had they used prior to that at bat?
2 according to the SF announcers, but somehow that one didnât 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 didnât remember that many earlier in the game, so I wasnât surprised they used them. But I wasnât counting.
The beauty of baseball (well one of the beauties) is there is always another game tomorrow.
And tomorrow happens to be today at 1:10 pm.
The math checks out, sir.
When will then be now?
Now is always then, there is no âcurrent timeâ

Now is always then, there is no âcurrent timeâ
Time is relative anyway, and only exists in these three dimensions.
My understanding is that time is a flat circle?
Muuuuuuurrrrphhhh
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.
Thatâs obviously got to be somebody elseâs card, because thatâs not 1/10th of that clownâs misses last night.
