Good thing the Yankees changed pitching coaches so the whole entire loving bullpen that was good last year doesn't go completely to poo poo...

Must've been a good jump with a big lead and a slow delivery because Higashioka came up *firing* and even though Estrada cut a little short Vladdy was ahead of it. drat.

What is going on today? Is this bizarro land where people actually like the exaggerated dragon ball z punch strikeout call? I definitely trust the ump to call balls and strikes fairly when they get off in calling people out in the most grandstanding way.

In thinking about it I'd say I do indeed like the theatrical punchout, although I can't say I've ever given it much thought let alone been seriously upset by it.

Theres nothing more in the game I like better than the Acuna's and such of the world hitting massive dongs and strutting their poo poo around the bases.

Nothing about the baseball cops doing exaggerated karate chops is cool. If anything, any of the dumb ump stuff is "written rules" energy.

I'm sure I'm just having flashbacks to some really outside strikeout call in the 2019 WS or something.

I dont mind umps doing that stuff at all and every now and then you get an ump doing it on strike 2 or something and he looks like a big ol doofus.

I want a strikeout where the pitcher shoots an arrow, the catcher spikes the ball, and the umpire does a little breakdance ala Naked Gun. Is that too much to ask?

It's a legitimate argument to keep human umps after robo umps are in play. Just have them act out the call.
