Sounds like the Rays manager was at least partly to blame for that lineup fiasco.

But still, fuck Angel Hernandez.

Actually, no. the rules directly say if it's not specified by the manager the umpire does it.

Yes, but I wonder how often that happens...I've certainly never heard of that rule and assumed the manager always specifies where the players are going in the order. I can't see most managers just leaving that to chance.

A lot of umpiring is down to hoping the coaches know what they’re doing so you don’t have to do something about it

Not that it really matters in the outcome of the game, but he just called Eloy out on a pitch that was near his shoe tops. Just a terrible call.

Yeah horrible call. At least it got Jason to stop talking about the two kids in the crowd.

It was really just one kid, amirite?

Started off with one kid getting the attention of Renteria, then another kid a few rows up started it too. I understand it is 9-1, but Jason was going over the top with the "look at these kids, that's real fandom there!" spiel.

There are MANY things to make fun of the White Sox about.

A disability that one of the announcers has is not one of them. Not cool.

This country could begin the healing process today if we held a public execution of Angel Hernandez. Let the players compete in a home run derby to determine who gets to swing the axe.

He might just be the worst ump/referee in all of professional sports.

Whitesox fans are in a state of panic. Your team peaked at the wrong time.

Angel Hernandez is terrible, though. His lawsuit was a slap in the face to thousands of mlb players he's boned over the years.

The great White Sox offense should be able to overcome a couple bad calls by Hernandez.

My favorite Angel moment was when Mingo yelled at him before singing the 7th inning stretch. Think Hernandez threw him out of the game

Apparently, it wasn't Hernandez that threw him out. The story goes Randy Marsh ordered the hit

Forgot about the call at the end of the game for the Cubs win. Total chaos.

Did the Boystown Cubbies start 13-2?

You mean the 1st place Cubs? Yes, we are still in 1st after a fast start.

Tallest midget in that division.
