    I can sort of understand an umpire losing his cool and jawing with players/coaches if they are catching heat (even though it should be a requirement of their profession to be able to keep their cool).

    But to vengefully call balls, strikes and vice-versa is over the line and a complete lack of integrity. He should be suspended IMO.

    After we decoded the arrival of ink circles, the Astros continue to show mastery in the art of communication.

    Franchise full of shitty broadcasters apparently. Sans Ashby, we really have been lucky for both radio and tv.

    I guess its a rivalry when another team's fans can't stand the other team's announcers... but I supposed I'm not supposed to bring that up.

    I had to watch a handful of times before I finally saw it. At first, I thought it was posted because (in the Wednesday game), Gallo was playing center field. :)

    I still don't see it.

    I'm gonna blame it on the glare through all 3 of these windows.

    Help me out, amigo.

    Initially i thought maybe but cupcheck is usually done with the back of the like you are trying to punch or tap it. This was more of a grab and tug.
