That Padres/Astros game was wild on all levels. Even the umpire messing up Hader's stepping off calling it a pitch clock violation and then having to check with NY.

[@mph7282]

That was even worse than the other two botched calls. How does an entire umpiring crew not know the rules on disengagements? They are an embarrassment to the sport.

[@jewelrunner5137]

And Hayward snapping his bat on his knee was comedy as well

[@mph7282]

Both of Altuve's ejections this year were by this same umpiring crew for the exact same thing, where they clearly missed the call that could have been easily corrected if it were reviewable. You guys are right...the big picture issue is why isn't everything that is easily identifiable and correctable through replay reviewable?

[@michaelraphael2160]

I appreciate that Rose and Plouffe are seated on the same side of each other in person as shown in the video.

[@offbrandsoup2579]

The Padres/Astros home plate umpire needs to be demoted to the minors. Such a horrific overall game, even if you ignore that play

[@andrewyouv]

9:18 - JV's reaction is the new Jacky Chan WTF meme.

[@summeronio9751]

A fucking instant classic

[@DirtyD07]

That entire umpire crew needs to be suspended from their actions last night. The fact that Profar even told the umpire that ball didn't hit him, and the umpire argued with him, and they even reviewed it in NY and still got it wrong. WTF?!

[@Percyripped]

That astros padres game felt like october! So much fun in those 8th and 9th innings. Shout out to that ballparj and fan base they absolutely show out for their club

[@SavingTruth912]

Good coverage. Not to mention. The ump didn't know the disengage rule...screwed Hader. Made him wait 10 minutes to make first pitch.

[@the_beef4762]

That whole game was wild last night. Can’t believe the Padres didn’t pull it off. Big game here in a couple hours.

[@Zo3yX]

​@the_beef4762 if profar wasn't forced to first base, we would have won. He is clutch.

[@anthonymartinez0865]

​@@Zo3yXImagine never winning a World Series.

[@Zo3yX]

@anthonymartinez0865 as a sox fan I can imagine well. Got what double the rings your trashcans got in the past 2 decades:3

[@johncastle1523]

And then his first pitch was a wild one that gave up the tying run lmfao

[@mattahlschlager7117]

There's even more craziness with the umps from last night's HOU @ SDP game. There was questionable stuff throughout the night (for both teams, not one sided), but it seemed to get extra egregious in the bottom of the 8th when Hader took the mound and was then called for a clock violation before throwing his first pitch. They proceed to waste 5-7 minutes figuring out the rules of the game they're officiating before finally coming to the right answer that he stepped off, which should have reset the clock. Then they spend another minute explaining the rules of the game to the Padre's skipper (some gamesmanship on his end, which is a part of the game--whatever). I'm guessing this led to Hader having cooled off enough to uncork his first pitch into the backstop to allow the tying run. Fair chance that the game doesn't make it to extras without the clock violation debacle. 2nd Interesting Fact: This is the same umpiring crew that officiated the HOU-CIN series a couple weeks back. Part of the controversy from that series was that Bregman was HBP and the ump called it a foul ball. Upon review, the call on the field stood--most people guessing it's because you can't actually review a foul call (not that it stopped HOU from losing their challenge...). So this is the second time this crew has been involved in a HBP call / play that #1 they were wrong about, #2 was incorrectly upheld upon review. Other weird calls from the night: Machado received a few extra pitches rather than be walked because the guy behind the plate (the real problem of the night, from what I could tell) had a... weird... strike zone. (This happens, and could have gone in either team's favor. In an post-game interview Machado thanked him for calling those pitches strikes, because it got him to the pitch that he clobbered for a homerun.) The other weird call was a pretty weak balk call against SDP that ultimately led to Alvarez tackling the pitcher at home plate a few pitches later. I appreciate that it gave HOU a chance to score on a wild pitch, but I don't think the balk call really lived up to the intended spirit of the rule in the first place (preventing pitchers from fake throwing home to catch a baserunner in a steal). Hoping I don't even see this umpire crew for the rest of the season. Especially in the post season. Also: make every single call on the field reviewable, and make it so that the reviewers have ultimate authority to get any call they're looking at correct--even if it wasn't the stated reason for the review in the first place. Sorry for the spam, been fired up since I watched this game last night.

[@kelsibradley4800]

Thanks for covering this!😂 Those umps suck!!

[@thegalli]

Finally Rosey and Plouffe in the same room AND on the correct sides

[@xM40A3x]

He probably did catch Trea’s sliding mitt but his foot was definitely on by that point. No shot the ump could have seen that live either, he was literally just guessing.

[@Ryouski]

WOOHOO! Free Altuve feet vids!

[@IPANoah]

%100 percent should be reviewable- I'm a M's fan, but always gotta give some respect to Altuve. He's a tremendous player.

[@schlootle]

Surprised you didnt also mention the 5 minute delay where the umpires forgot their own rules and had to call New York for a "rule check" before Hader even threw his first pitch. That 100% iced Hader IMO and the first pitch after all that BS was a wild pitch. The next 11 pitches Hader threw were strikes.

[@sunsunavery4237]

the profar thing reminds me of albert belle pretty heavy lol.

[@sadatx101]

Astros/Padres was a different level of bad ump. The Machado homer that was supposed to be a walk. The Hader icing cause they don't know a rule. Altuve, Profar and the ending was just wild. JV looking confused as hell should be a meme.

[@zoom3184]

I don't know if the vibes will ever recover from that Robles play

[@jbriaz]

This didn't even mention the Machado homer AB in which both balls 4 and 5 were called strikes, even though they weren't close. Home plate umpire sucked.

[@jamesroberthill64]

5 was a strike, 4 was not close

[@anthonymartinez0865]

The 5th one was a strike.

[@tomflorio3639]

Re: Turner our at 2nd. The irony of that ridiculous oven mitt being the reason he was called out . . . when he slid feet first!

[@allrise9923]

Trevor with the Ohtani glizzy is crazy 😂

[@andrewduncan3214]

the weird thing is that it’s possible that if altuve stayed in the game then he maybe can’t make the final play on the manny machado hit up the middle

[@nickschuman4652]

Rosey, it wasn’t just an embarrassing couple innings, the entire game was horribly umpired. The strike zone was awful

[@jimharper2180]

The Padres and the DBacks will play each other for their final series of the regular season. That may end up saving the division title for the Dodgers.

[@changeofpacecar]

Dodger fans are worried. Our rotation is in shambles

[@Trill.Clipz.Channel]

I love that we’re still not giving any calls to the Astro’s team because you know why 😈😈

[@dannyhartsock9922]

Someone let Trev know that Mt Dew was invented and originally bottled one town over from where he played rookie ball.

[@Riggs46]

If Lindor didn’t get hurt, he would’ve done it for the 2nd year in a row. I believe he’s only 3 SB away from hitting 30/30 right now

[@275Vet-RLTW]

Mtn dew is slang for moonshine

[@derekmusciano7545]

Classic central division bias. Soto's 200th HR (which gave him a HR in every ballpark) off Woo shouldve been the tip of the cap!

[@hectorcastle1187]

Trevor is wrong, a little bit. He’s right by saying that the chase for 50-50 and the slim division lead are 2 different trains of thought. Yes, Ohtani is cementing his Goat status with 50-50. However. The Dodgers are going to be in serious trouble if we don’t win some crucial games coming up. The Padres are coming to town this weekend and If LA loses that series, LA might once again fall extremely short in the playoffs. LA needs that bye BECAUSE the pitching staff is so unhealthy this late in the season. 8/10 excited for 50-50 9/10 worried about the division and playoff seeding

[@joblaska]

I served with General Soreness

[@josephcote7187]

I love me a plate of Gen. Soreness's Chicken

[@QbertsSauce]

Profar has a 1.300 ops in late and close and 1.100 in high leverage situations.There was no doubt in my mind Profar was going to walk it off when he came to the plate. That was the worst Umped series I have ever seen.

[@triggertimetraining6963]

The peanut guy showed up the umpires last night as well. Terrible job by the umpires.

[@1964robw]

Missed the totally wrong pitch clock violation which cost Hader 5 minutes getting cold before the first pitch

[@zach8156]

He was clearly showing up the ump by taking off his shoe and sock. Come on, guys. Lol.

[@frankrivera6384]

Like Trevor Plouffe said if got hit on knuckles and took gloves off is that showing up ump. Ump needs to not be such an a hole, bs call

[@Wesley-zp7sy]

bro theres no hidden concerns, all yall keep talking ab is dodger worries. they’re fine.

[@ericmausbach1808]

The umps were in preseason form.

[@EmilyHill-s8h]

[@mattculb6990]

Lindor needs 3 more SBs to match Bobby Witt!

[@patricksainclair2384]

Plouffe glazes Ohtani too much to be concerned over a 3 game lead over SD

[@somedude1901]

Tired of hearing about the dodgers having “more pitching injuries than anyone”. The Astros have 5 starting pitchers, and 1 big leverage reliever on the IL

[@vintagepokeopenings178]

They have to get the excuses ready for when they get swept in the NLDS again.

[@ayydubs987]

and the dodgers have 10.

[@bbybebop]

dodgers do too though 🤷🏻‍♂️ I don’t think they have more than anyone, as that’s a dumb comparison, but they certainly have a large amount on the IL edit: Just checked, 8 starting pitchers on the IL and 3 relievers (Banda was high leverage and used extensively)

[@ayydubs987]

@@bbybebop and that's not even including yamamoto, who just came back, and brusdar and brasier missing the majority of the season. there was a fangraphs article proving they have missed the most players and talent this year. mookie and muncy were also gone for months.

[@AtomicPunk51]

The bad crop of umpires this season is over the top. But when there is NO accountability, this crap happens. And will only get worse

[@fated316]

Ohtani is why the dodgers where they are with all their pitching issues. Not to mention other Injuries.

[@Jj-ne9wq]

Huh? Explain yourself

[@MrCarcass1978]

Yeah, it's all Sho's fault with his shitty at bats and all his gambling and meth addiction taking over. The dude is as damned rascal and self saboteur... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I don’t like the Trashstros, but that was a bullshit call on Altuve, no doubt about it.

[@ronpeacock9939]

Jose was showing up an umpire. Umpire manual 101... I agree, it should be reviewable. Though Jose isn't going to get love from me. HIs cheating Astros cost my team a chance at a championships.

[@squashandfries]

Rosey, the BIGGER story is 50-50. Only Dodgers fans care about the Dodgers postseason. The rest of us couldn't give a shit less, nor will any Dodger fans after this season, either. 50-50 is fucking history. Dodgers winning is depressing and will be nothing but a footnote of a footnote.

[@xM40A3x]

Literally every team in the NL playoff picture cares about the Dodgers postseason, or at least should since I take it you’re a salty Padres or Dbacks fan mad that despite all their injuries they’re still sleepwalking past your team to another division title. I certainly care as a Phillies fan. “Dodgers winning is just depressing” is a weird ass comment lmao
