It was a strike on Gameday but make the call a little quicker.

It's a strike on replay. Barnes had to swing at that.

The 6ix

12:15

65 called strikes tonight.

Pie

12:15

I think the Fox zone may be small, some of the egregious calls in real time look like strikes on replay

Paul Swydan

12:16

I've been checking close calls on Gameday. The FOX zone is NOT the same as Gameday, and I agree it looks smaller.

Nick V

12:16

Side view made it clearly look like a strike. Right at the knees of Barnes.

Paul Swydan

12:16

Yup.

Clay(2000 lbs) Kershaw

12:16

A generous strike zone and 19 runs so far. Inconceivable!

The Hamburglar

12:16

The zone isnt as bad as the tv is making it, but his late "strike 3" calls seem outrageous

Paul Swydan

12:16

Agreed.

Oddball Herrera

12:17

Do you think the fox zone takes into account the slight camera offset? The view is not from straight on center

Paul Swydan

12:17

I mean, I hope so?

NtflxnRichHill

12:17

Can we talk in only star wars references the rest of the night?

Paul Swydan

12:17

Don't try to fit me inside your little box!

12:18

Joe Buck always quick to torch a guy who didn't hustle.

Shut the hell up, he wouldn't be on third.

12:19

You're not making that out at third down three runs.

It's like he's never watched a goddamn baseball game before.

Eric Matthews

12:19

Never tell me the odds!

Pontoons

12:19

Are helmet chin guards getting more popular, or are these players an abberation from normal?

Paul Swydan

12:19

Both.

Bat

12:20

That was a very weird attempt to catch that ball.

Mister Puppy

12:20

Pederson needs to be standing on third. Inexcusable

Paul Swydan

12:20

Don't agree at all. You're discounting completely Gonzalez's posture there. If he saw Pederson trying to extend for three, he would have sprinted after the ball, and Pederson would have been out.

12:21

Gonzalez had the luxury of walking to the ball, because the play was right in front of him.

Nick V

12:21

Terribad read by Gonzalez. That hit the wall an entire body length over his head.

Josh

12:21

Disagree. He's at third standing.

Sixsixtyone

12:22

Joe Buck almost lost his voice due to an infection from hairplugs. He's a bitter fellow.

Paul Swydan

12:22

Is that true?

John Autin

12:22

The point is the process, not the results. It's the damn WORLD SERIES -- run the ball out!

Paul Swydan

12:22

I guess, guys. Whatever.

12:22

He would have been halfway to second by the time that ball hit the track. Are you blind?

Paul Swydan

12:23

I submit that he wouldn't have tried to go three no matter what. You can't risk making that out at third, and it's a super short throw from there.

If it's a one-run game, I concede the point. It wasn't.

And just like that, the potential tying run is on second.

Guest

12:24

Regardless, joc still a dumbass for enjoying his hit

John Autin

12:24

Why make excuses? If Pederson runs it out, then there's no discussion.

Jamie

12:24

Just no way he gets to third. Ridiculous

The One Armed Man

12:24

Make it a poll!

Paul Swydan

12:24

OK.
