Tough luck for JBJ

Bryan

2:19

Do calls like this make you want Robot umps? Or do you like the Ump having so much influence over a game like this?

Sgt. Pepper

2:19

Good on Farrell for getting out there and taking the hit for Pedroia.

Kevin

2:19

Replay is suspiciously slow this postseason. Any else notice that?

Paul Swydan

2:20

FOX always prioritizes reaction shots over replays. They do it in football too.

Carson Cistulli

2:20

Life is riddled with injustice. Human um

Human umps remind us of that.

Sgt. Pepper

2:20

When I was umpiring calling me a Bolshevik was automatic grounds for ejection

Sonny

2:20

Farrell has a low understanding of the Russian Social Democratic Party and their history

Brandon M

2:20

Did Farrell just lose his job

Uncle Jimbo

2:20

That pitch was pretty close for all that arguing.

Wildcard

2:20

Will be absolutely brutal if the Sox get nothing out of this.

Was the pitch a strike? I can only follow along on MLB gamedayyyyy

Paul Swydan

2:21

Neither pitch looked like a strike. But both pitches looked like they were close enough to be strikes. Pedroia, in particular, should have known better.

weezy

2:21

I have definitely seen players get ejected for less

Randy

2:21

Pedroia easily could have been tossed. Ump really gave him some slack

Kate Upton: Fantasy MVP

2:21

The ball was definitely outside the strike zone. Close, but still an incorrect call.

Show Hey O'Tawny

2:21

The Bradley call was worse than the one on Pedroia

yourbestfriend

2:21

the one to JBJ looking an inch out but the one to pedroia was over the plate

Sonny

2:21

This Red Sox team imploding over borderline calls is very on brand

Paul Swydan

2:22

Very, very on bran.

Carson Cistulli

2:22

The call against Bradley was less surprising. Left-handers are generally required to cover the area just off the plate. Not according the rule, but according to reality.

Paul Swydan

2:22

Sam

2:22

Must have been the most life Farrell has shown in months

Paul Swydan

2:22

You could see Farrell really lose it after he was tossed. He was not expecting to be tossed AT ALL.

Kate Upton: Fantasy MVP

2:22

Can't we have the best of both worlds with hybrid robo-human umps?

Paul Swydan

2:22

Who wants to volunteer to be RoboUmp?

2:23

I'm pretty sure being RoboUmp is what noted Justice League member Cyborg does in his spare time.

Carson Cistulli

2:23

Perhaps it will be an umpire who was almost killed on the streets of Detroit.

Deece

2:23

an hour and 10 min, and 2 compete innings. not looking like they are going to beat the weather

Elbo

2:23

Incredibly slow pace. Players frustrated. Raining. Crowd getting ugly. Starting to remind me of Altamont.

Tyler

2:24

Shit do not warm up Sale

HappyFunBall

2:24

Wow. Only two innings? I love baseball but this is looooooooooooong

Carson Cistulli

2:24

"Shit. Do NOT warm up, Sale."

Or:

"Shit do not warm up, Sale."

That's a weird message for Chris Sale.

Or.

YKnotDisco?!

2:24

Isn't Darling a native of Hawaii?

Carson Cistulli

The Shit-Do-Not-Warm-Up Sale.
