All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!

galvis strikes out on a pitch ... that was clearly not a strike.

I don't want to say the offense will be "fine" but I have to believe Castellanos will start lacing doubles again and Moustakas, if he can stay on the field for a while, will have his usual OPS over .800. The problem is that besides those guys and Winker, the rest are looking very suspect.
Bad strike 3 call on Galvis.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
not a strike in a million years.

MLB needs to do something about the disaster that is home plate umps calling balls/strikes. i'm not even blaming the umps. can you imagine how hard that would be? determining if at times 100 MPH pitches, or 90 MPH pitches with wicked movement are within a certain zone? it would be amazingly difficult.
ever since baseball has been shown on television, it was always ridiculous to see obvious balls that were called strikes and the other way around. but in today's game with the strike zone box (or whatever you want to call it -- K-Zone, etc) it's right there for everyone to see how badly the umpires are missing these calls. and if it's a really close call, i don't think anyone gets bent out of shape. but you see several balls waaaaay off the plate (juuuuuust a bit outside) called strikes every night, and balls clearly in the zone called balls.
so, why not use the technology of the 21st century and have automated balls/strikes?

I'll let Miley try to throw seven or eight innings the offense isn't going to score so you might as well save the bullpen
