MLB wants Dodgers(Ohtani) vs Yankees(Judge) - NFL/Goodell helped the Chiefs

[packs]

The problem with what you’re saying is that if the Yankees win you’ll claim you knew it all along and if the Yankees lose you’ll talk about how they choked. Both things can’t be true.

Also the ad you’re talking about came out after the Phillies had been eliminated. That might be why Harper wasn’t featured. Or there could be something larger at play.

It sounds like Moe is the kind of person who believes we never landed on the moon and that the 2020 election was stolen.

Wrong. But nice try bringing in things that have nothing to do with baseball. Stick to baseball genius.

And Packs nice try stating the the Judge Ohtani commercial was when the Phillies were out of the Playoffs, wrong!.......look at the date I started this thread, and I mentioned the commercial, were the Phillies in the Playoffs?.....yes there were.

Did anyone notice the brutal call in the bottom of the 9th to the Indians lead off hitter with the 3-2 count that resulted in strike 3 rather than ball 4?

I'm not saying I'm just saying.

This MLB commercial simultaneously predicts every team to win, just to cover all bases and all scenarios. I thought you might enjoy it.

Yes, that 3-2 call confirms you're right. All season long, no other call like that has been made.

I'm glad Darling and Francouer called it out as well.

Just a terrible call at once again the 9th inning of the Yankees opponent.

Go to the 14:15 mark (if it doesn't start there).

Sure, should have been a ball, but it was about 1 inch off the corner and people somehow always forget the umpires don't have a convenient perfectly drawn box on their TV screen when they're calling balls and strikes.

Judge gets about 5 of those calls per game against him.

Just go to robot umps behind the plate, and this all goes away........as long as the same people complaining about these types of calls, aren't also up on their high horse about the "sanctity of the game" if it ever becomes a reality.

[D. Bergin]

I think baseball is easily the cleanest of the various major sports as far as officiating goes.

It's just a simpler game to call, and instant replay and added pressure on the umps to have more consistent strike zones in the last 15-20 years or so, have made the officiating more accurate then it used to be.

There's still crappy umps behind the plate from time to time, but I think people forget that it used to be way worse and more arbitrary from crew to crew back in the "good old days".

NFL Football is such a bang-bang sport and lots of the penalty calls are so subjective, it's enough to want to rip your hair out several times a game, even on a well called game, while certain star QB's do seem to get preferential treatment on certain types of calls.

NBA Basketball seems the most suss to me. I don't think games are fixed for teams per se, but I've seen enough playoff series through the years that you would have a hard time convincing me the NBA wasn't engaged in trying to extend series to as many games as possible in order to maximize ticket and TV revenue. The swings in momentum from the standpoint of the refs calls from game to game would just seem wild at times. That said, I don't think it happens as much now, as it did 5 or more years ago.

I haven't watched NHL hockey religiously in a very long time, for me to give a great opinion on how it's called nowadays. Just a simple interference penalty at an inopportune time could swing the momentum of a game, but I don't remember being too pissed off at unfair officiating when I was following hockey more intensely (just at how much the Whalers usually sucked). Maybe somebody else can chime in on this.

Dodgers should make it 2 for 2 tomorrow.
