DeJesus comes through productively

They'll walk him if he lets them

Re: Wed 9/9/15 Pirates @ Reds- the return of Billy Ball!
I swear Votto sometimes looks like he's the only Reds hitter who is up there thinking as he's going through the at bat.

He's got a good beef there, but that was dumb as hell in that situation.

Re: Wed 9/9/15 Pirates @ Reds- the return of Billy Ball!
I have never seen Joey Votto that mad.

Re: Wed 9/9/15 Pirates @ Reds- the return of Billy Ball!
Bring on the robo umps. Not one person paid to watch this guy call balls and strikes tonight. What a joke.

Word. You wait til the ABs over to get tossed.

Re: Wed 9/9/15 Pirates @ Reds- the return of Billy Ball!
Glad the ump showed Votto who was in charge by not granting time.

Re: Wed 9/9/15 Pirates @ Reds- the return of Billy Ball!
Welke is a horrible umpire. Always had been.
How about Ramon Cabrera? Can't ask for anything more in that situation!

Re: Wed 9/9/15 Pirates @ Reds- the return of Billy Ball!
Joseph has some anger issues lol

Worthless arrogant POS lardass MLB umps....put them all on a boat and I will see them at the bottom of the sea. Save some room for the lawyers...

Re: Wed 9/9/15 Pirates @ Reds- the return of Billy Ball!
Welke must have told Votto that Folgers is better than cappuccino

I think the umpire told Votto that he wasn't elite.

Re: Wed 9/9/15 Pirates @ Reds- the return of Billy Ball!
BTW, who plays 1st? Pena is out. That leaves Bruce and Frazier?

When did he ask for time? I watched the replay and saw nothing.
-
Re: Wed 9/9/15 Pirates @ Reds- the return of Billy Ball!
You could tell Welke didn't give a crap about calling an accurate strike zone when he rung up Dejesus in the first inning. He just wanted to get paid and get drunk at the hotel.

Re: Wed 9/9/15 Pirates @ Reds- the return of Billy Ball!
I'm truly sick and tired of the ump show. These guys need to know that the fans don't come out to see them.
-
Re: Wed 9/9/15 Pirates @ Reds- the return of Billy Ball!
Why even send him up there?

Maybe LaMarre stays in and De Jesus plays 1st.

Really curious ejection and reaction. I understand Welke throwing Votto out for appealing to the dugout. That can be seen as showing up the ump. But there must have been something else going on for Votto to explode like that. That was crazy.

Re: Wed 9/9/15 Pirates @ Reds- the return of Billy Ball!
More bad luck by Bruce. Unluckiest guy.

Utter frustration with this season?
Incredible intensity?
I doubt he has contractual issues, LOL.

I think several don't like him turning around towards them to brush the dirt in the back of the box and debate most every call that goes against him. It can't help. We've all been around umpires and regardless of stature it can't possibly help him at the plate.

When Welke pointed to his eye, I don't think he was saying that Joey had hit him or spit on him. I think he was mocking Joey's eye for balls and strikes.
