***2026 World Baseball Classic***

Surprised to see him throw sliders early in the count. Save those for strike three after using his incredible heat.
Agree I am yelling just throw gas up they cannot catch up.

By the way Paul Skenes seems like a great guy..
 
I'm livid on that last strik call if I'm DR. Looks like the worst one of the game based on above.
 
When people talk about wanting to keep the human element they’re talking about horrendous game ending calls like that. That was brutal.
Given the technology now I don't even know why you keep an ump behind the plate. The error rate with the technology would be virtually zero.
 
From HS to MLB there are few things more frustrating to watch than a hitter work a great AB that should’ve ended in a walk get rung up on a bad call.

Because someone needs to officiate plays at home plate, balks, foul balls, hit batters
 
I watched that last pitch. Sure it was low but at least it wasn’t off the plate or corner of the plate low. It was right down the middle. I’ve seen worse calls by far seeing Angel Hernandez compilations

Now that’s a low bar.
 
Venezuela has scored 3 in the Top of the 7th to take a 4-2 lead over Italy.
