    Lindsay nailed the analysis.
    It was Guccione calling two balls on two strikes on that same side of the plate in the top half of the inning while Raleigh was catching. And then rings up Raleigh on almost the same pitch that wasn't previously called. Raleigh is a phenomenal catcher and wouldn't have lost it without the pitches in the top of the 8th being missed.
    I too give huge, huge credit to Brian Knight. Absolutely no requirement or reason for him to be that proactive but shows great insight and professionalism for the good of the game.

    @nathanc8478 3 месяца назад +4

    It wasn't the 2.6 er that got him upset, it was the fact that they almost hit two different Seattle player by pitching inside and the ump was calling some pretty bad strikes on the inside zone (both ways). The Crawford S.O. was REALLY bad, and the Mariners were upset as a whole. Servis knew one of the players were going to blow up the next time they got struck out from another perceived bad inside pitch. That is what coaches are supposed to do, get the feel of their players and keep them in the game.

    I want to give a ton of credit to the home plate umpire Guccione. He let Raleigh go for quite awhile, and didn't throw him out.

      No, in fact…quite the opposite. Catchers should be the very last player to ever dispute balls and strikes because no plate umpire wants to then work the rest of the night with a catcher whose blood is up regarding the zone. It’s not a written rule but, it’s just understood…if you’re the catcher, you keep your eyes front and say nothing. Deviate from that at your peril.

    You're totally in the wrong defending the umpire from the claim he had a bad night. He was noticeably bad throughout the game against both teams. It's also off-base to make the claim his calls against the Mariners weren't significant. The cumulative run value was around 0.72 in Chicago's favor. That, especially in the context of Cal's effectiveness as a pitch framer, is significant.
