fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccckkkkk

foul ball for sure

FOUL

HAH it is foul!!!!

Foul

That's clearly a foul ball. But this crew has been shitty all weekend

That's bs

Are you ****ing kidding???

WTF?????????

Lol wtf

Oh shit that's a bad call

and they continue being shitty

Holy ****ing shit. Umpires are absolutely ****ing useless. **** these mother****ing clowns. That's atrociious.

This is literally the worst call I have ever seen

That's Bullshit New york!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Q needs to get kicked out again. That's some horseshit

Who is the blind mother****er in NY that called that good?

ARAB

Dude it needs to be open season on these ****s. Gut them in the parking lot

Im surprised he didnt come out

I knew when it took them that long to review it they were going to get it wrong.

Glad we got Ragans out of there quick after that. Don’t want him letting that nonsense get to his head.

How do you miss that call? With replay? They should retroactively remove those two runs. Total bullshit.

Thanks replay!

How the **** does that stand?

You can hear the boos raining down with Arrowhead quality

What the **** was that? How do you blow that call with the benefit of replay? **** this game.

New York better review the GROUND RULES!!!!!!!!!!

Someone who's got money on the Tribe, that's who. One of the worst calls I've ever seen. ****ing embarrassing. If I'm the Royals, I play the rest of this game in protest.

MLB should apologize to the Royals after this game....

I would take a seat and not play another ****ing inning.

AI can't steal these ****'s jobs quick enough. Pieces of shit from top to bottom

Protest this game. That is absolutely horrible

Royals should play the rest of the game under protest because they clearly got that call wrong and it was worth two runs.

If this was South American soccer, a ref would be beheaded on the field immediately.

I’m not saying that would be right, but it would be understandable.

****, Salvy just missed that.

Imagine a world where refs get what they deserve. Practically Utopia.

They're gonna get this. And I hope somebody comes down from the stands and ****ing cripples one of these umps.

That's gotta just make you sick. We literally just got cheated, jobbed, screwed, however you wanna put it. Why are there ****ing rules? Stunningly bad, and positively shameful. I said it before, and I'll say it again, Royals should play the rest of the game in protest and take it to the league office. This shit is egregiously bad.

Can you really see definitely that his foot was on the bag?

Oh **** you

Every ref who makes a bad call against one of my teams should be put on a sex offenders list.

And quite honestly, I’m probably being too lenient.

Screwjob city, led by one of the worst umps in the game, Laz ****ing Diaz. Dude is trash.

Yes, no question/ New York

You are. They should be CHARGED with sex offender crimes and placed in GenPop so nature could take its course.

They should actually be the victims of sex crimes then charged with sex offender crimes

That names sounds like a dude that's eaten a bunch of greasy hawgs under the bleachers. Sucked so much dick his lips are inverted.

Dude, you're 420% correct.

If I am Cleveland I even ask them to remove the runs. It would feel like cheating.

Dude, those scumbags aren't going to do that.

Cleveland is one of the biggest loser pro sports markets around.

They would never.

You know why it feels like cheating? Because that's exactly what just happened. We got cheated. Un****ingreal.

Awful read by Melendez

That's all for Ragans, it's up to the BP to hold these clowns.

game just turned on a dime with that bad call.

I can't do it anymore... I'm literally so goddamn mad right now, I feel like I'm about to lose it. I need a break. WE GOT CHEATED.

That fat **** was out at home

That replay just proved again, that the ball hit the black net holder

If I was a player, I might be a little annoyed Q didn’t get himself tossed over that.

I know it doesn’t change anything but I’d appreciate the fire.

It’s rare to see such a black and white call be wrong on replay.

Awful day for Melendez

It wasn't even close either. It clearly hit the black thing that is touching the netting. Itd be like saying well anything that hits the wall is a home run because the wall touches the homerun line.

I've been looking at the video frame by frame, and it's a little difficult to follow the ball when it gets near the foul pole. But these two screenshots pretty much show that it was foul. The ball is circled in red in both shots.

In the first one, you can see that there is not a white blur in front of that black bar sticking out, which is in foul territory according to the announcers.

In the second one, the ball is clearly in front of that bar. Again, foul according to the announcers.

****ing joke.

Way to go New York, you just ****ed up a whole baseball game.

Surely we are playing this under protest?

And if we are and they rule in our favor, they resume the game from that point with us leading 2-1, right? None of the other runs count at that point.

Why even pitch to him?

this game went into the shitter. They're drilling our pitching and our offense has looked non-existent since the 2nd inning.

I was curious so I looked it up

https://www.mlb.com/glossary/rules/protested-game

Brilliant rule change in 2021:

"Protesting a game shall never be permitted, regardless of whether such complaint is based on judgment decisions by the umpire or an allegation that an umpire misapplied these rules or otherwise rendered a decision in violation of these rules."

**** the MLB

If the fans there don't go out and disembowel the umpire crew are they really even fans?

Way to go Hud, tell it like it is, and the rest of MLB knows also, that call was botched.

We just rolled over into the fetal position after that call. Way to nut up guys.

That call ****ed us up

No excuse for that.

A 6-run HR would be just right.

While Q prob didnt want to get tossed on Bo Jackson day, he could have at least come out of the dugout and started some shit...might have fired the boys back up

It's unbelievable that Cole Ragans threw a pitch right down the pipe to strikeout machine Jhonkensy Noel when this guy will swing out of the zone at some of the worst pitches offered.

Well good thing we got blown out for the MLB since it turns out those two runs didnt matter

Bummer of a game but I had an amazing time. I’ve mentioned briefly on GDTs before that we’ve (wife and I) have met Greg Pryor (former Royal) and his wife due to seat proximity. We’ve had some fun albeit brief conversations. Today, they sat right next to us as the two seats closest to ours were open. First off, they are super friendly and nice folks. But most importantly for this thread, man the stories I heard today. From Disco Demolition night to his experience during and after the pine tar game, and a bunch in between. Plus it was great to get his perspective on what’s happening during a game. Wish I could’ve brought all you guys with me. It was really cool. So, shitty game but great experience…plus Bo HOF…..plus Hawaiian shirt giveaway…..plus I bought the new Independence Day hat (they are cool as hell this year). Not too shabby of a day.

That actually makes me feel better. They were a hot item back in the day
