Horrible umpiring. The first one was headed at his face.

So of course borderline strike is the call.

A lot of good baseball in there too which makes it worse. Not like these are 10-0 games.

3 consecutive innings of competent baseball and this game is over in our favor.

Having two runs stolen by MLB idiocy and the fat sack of shit that waddled 5 steps and somehow judged that a fan interfered with a play he had zero chance of making an informed call on is a big deal no matter what.

The Astros have sucked dick on ice since then, no doubt. But that is still pretty glaring in this game.

It’s like saying that bad pass interference call is the difference in the game. No, it’s the five fucking pick-6 interceptions you threw in the 4th quarter.

Agree. That was way early.

You can simultaneously hold that the Astros gave away multiple runs through dicksteppery and the complete inability to block balls in the dirt, AND that Joe West’s monumental fuckup fundamentally changed the course of the game.

I can accept that West’s fat ass never got into position and he guessed wrong.

I can’t accept that MLB had crystal clear evidence that the fan never reached into the field of play, yet upheld the call. That’s criminal.

The Astros had chances to get the win regardless of the HR call. The bullpen, which we all thought was a strength of this team, failed and failed miserably all series. Rarely do you win a game when you give up 8 runs.
