Did u ever watch a game & after it was over u say to yourself this game didn't seem right to me or said->?

Question

To yourself could this game have been fixed? Not saying it is mind you but asking if that ever went through your mind.

Answer 1

I personally believe that the umpires skew the calls to the team that is favored or the home team.  All the way back to the 60-70's umpires were giving strikes to pitchers that they thought were dominant in that game or season.  During big Mac & Sosa's HR quest, niether could be struck out!  Umpires I think sub-consiously want the team to win they feel is the better team.    

Answer 2

Nope.  I have never really thought that a game was fixed in baseball.

Answer 3

No.  Guess Im just not the paranoid type.  

Answer 4

thought about it, but then i got over it

Answer 5

there was some talk about the Yankees/Red Sox 2004 ALCS being fixed...I never bought into it, but the argument had something to do with boosting the television rating by going to 7 games instead of a 4 game sweep.

Again, i never bought it, but it is kind of an interesting theory.

Answer 6

Sometimes the umpires make me shake my head. Certain games it just seems like they have it out for my team. But I never actually thought it was fixed  

Answer 7

You wont believe how many times I say that a season.

Answer 8

Not really! But then, I reckon that stems from not being an avid watcher...

Answer 9

last year..Phillies were playing the braves in atlanta in august and we blew a 8 run lead. in like two innings. a lot of it was errors and i couldn't believe what i was watching. the braves went on to win that game 11-8 i think was the final score.

Answer 10

Yes; a couple of times or more.

Answer 11

yeah there have always been some calls that arent even close and go the wrong way and everyone in t he stadium knows it except the umpire it makes you wonder some time.
