Think away and turn on shitty pitches.

If they stay in this mindset they'll be tough to beat.

To be fair, they only scored 2 runs on us after Fried stopped fluttering his glove/tipping away his breaking balls


We also need someone behind the plate to call fair strikes and balls because our hitters aren't able to have their normal ABs because they're having to defend a strike zone the size of Texas.

The glove thing was very weird. Glad someone caught it and shut that down.

Strike zones are a tad different each night. Last night was brutal.

Astros had a better approach as well though. First game they were much more swing for the fences.

The good news is now we get a turn in our town!

Yeah, and we were being a little pedantic complaining about the borderline calls, but it was rather annoying seeing the Astros get each border call in their favor, while we got the short end of the stick.

I'm fine if the umps' zone sucks, but he's applying it both ways. What was that stat, like 6 of the 7 missed calls in Game 2 went against us? Just would like to see them even that up.

At least the umpire scoring advatange in Game 2 went down from the 1.62 from Game 1

Are you sure you aren’t an LSU fan?
We are known for thinking the refs are against us.

It's not just fans... it's actually people who track this regularly:

No report on tonight's game just yet, but so far, the braves have had 1 of 13 games where they had an "advantage" from the umpires, and it was minimal.
