This may have been covered already but with Murphy possibly going to the DL with a ligament strain in his knee, do we finally see Cruz called up?

He is rehabbing in Arizona, correct? Isnt the minor leage DL a 7 day stint?

except
that when you fuck over one set of pitchers with a worse strike zone and then screw over that team’s hitters in saying that the strike zone mysteriously expands half a foot in each direction against the best closer in baseball, it all of a sudden isn’t just end of story. I’m so sick and tired of this crap. These calls aren’t even close. Its one thing for the tracker to show that it just barely touched the zone or something, but its clear as day that it isn’t anywhere close to the strike zone. The ump calls the same exact pitches balls right before and after. Sometimes, the balls are actually closer to being strikes than the “strikes” are.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

Wash should have put in Bradley
he’ll even say in the postgame he made a mistake
Josh Hamilton is better than you.
Would it have mattered?
Rivera was on his game tonight.

Look
I’m not happy with it either, but I’m not gonna be a red ass and put the loss on that in any way. We should’ve scored more runs off a mediocre pitcher.

oh I'm not pinning the loss on that
but it does make it even more difficult for the offense when they have to swing at crap way outside because it’s being called a strike.

wow...
this game shouldn’t be over right now. Ian Kinsler should be in the batters box right now, with Vazquez on first and Davis on second. Wow!

Hmm...
Is it just me or did it seem like Rivera’s cutter wasn’t cutting as much as it normally does? Has this been happening all year, or does he just save the ridiculous cutter for the playoffs?
I still say
the important thing is to know we’re just as good as the Yanks – if not better
Team chemistry trumps all!!!!
the damn umps
are completely afraid of the yankees. That team has gotten so many favorable calls. It’s ridiculous.

and we've still won 2 of 3 so far

where on earth was bradley
my frustration with him grows daily. we arnt asking you to play the OF, all you have to do is swing the bat 4 times a game and run as well as you can around the bases.
the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is
he should be on the DL
Team chemistry trumps all!!!!
do you think its his call at this point...
or the team being overly careful, thinking they need him for some push?

I just watched Byrd's walk-off granny

went
from yesterday 5 games out beating the Yankees twice and maybe playoff hope to right back to 6 games out.
How's Dshep's ass taste?
Umpires
I am sick and freaking tired of watching these umpires continuously call obvious balls strikes. No wonder that Rivera is unhittable if u don’t have to throw strikes to get people out it tends to make a difference. This happens to almost every batter multiple times every at bat and it is bullshit.

its not a HUGE loss to the team, but certainly irritating.
doubly so since we dont even get the upside of cruz.
