OK, now it's time to start throwing the change. They're swinging now. Yeah I'm begging for it. Hes done fairly well for not using it much.

What a terribly uneven strike zone. Par for the course this season with umpires. I can't wait until we finally get an automated strike zone; its long overdue with the technology available today. My friend is over tonight. Not a big baseball guy and even he just said the same thing. I get that umps will be pissed because it hurts their huge egos, but this needs to happen. It's as simple as one extra guy in the booth and an earpiece in the mask.

Another ****ing strike call on a ball for Hanley's strike 3.
I haven't been more mad at a game all year.

Get rid of umpires and start using a machine to mark strikes.

Or at least mark them on the left right plate boundaries. Letting ump call on hi lo.

This is the Owens we all knew we had. If he has his command he is very very good. If not, he's not.
After the first he's been good.

They got their run on a ground ball, a walk with multiple close pitches and another ground ball. I'm encouraged by this start. Command needs to be better but we knew that already.

I don't care if it worked. That is inane to bunt there.

Swihart is a line drive machine lately. Lot to like about him, especially if he fixes his framing.

JBJ has been tagging a lot of balls lately, no luck on the placement though.

Nice inning. Now let's see if Owens is atypical for this org and can hold a lead.
