6/9 Cubs (Marquis) @ Braves (Hudson) 6:05 WGN

[Soul]

Pie K's on an outside pitch. This game is a mockery right now.

 

It was full foot off the plate.

 

Worst.

Ump.

Ever.

[Andy]

i sifted through all the hyperbole but didn't actually read what Barrett's "[expletive]" play was. Can someone fill me in?

Tried to go home while Fontenot beat out a DP ball and got caught in a rundown between third and home

[Sarcastic]

Tschida is giving the Braves reliever a huge area off the plate towards righties right now.

[jjgman21]

Wasn't that 3rd strike on Pie outside also? The strike zone is HUGE.

 

don't worry. he'll get it shrunk down. I predict right now as a matter of fact.

[Rebel_Cubbie]

uuuhhhh, is the strike zone expanding with each AB?

[Irrelevant Dude]

Hawk would be throwing a fit right now.

[inari]

We need to hit someone. Now. And if the ump kicks someone out, file a grievance. This dude belongs in the minors.

[wekse]

this ump is taking over the game right now and it's awful to watch.

took too big of a turn around third and got caught in a rundown for the third out. shoulda had runners on 1st and 3rd with 2 outs, but he sh*t the bed on the basepath again

He should have taken the opportunity to deliver a forearm to the freaking ump. Kill two birds with one stone.

Umpire Trends - Tim Tschida...wtf?

 

Home team is 7-0 in Tschida's last 7 games behind home plate.

Home team is 4-0 in Tschida's last 4 games behind home plate vs. Atlanta.

Home team is 20-8 in Tschida's last 28 Saturday games behind home plate.

Cubs are 4-14 in their last 18 games with Tschida behind home plate.

 

 

bump

[Brian]

I don't think Lou will be in the dugout for all 9 tonight.

[98navigator]

Hold them down Sean

He was on second with a runner on first and Fontenot hit a grounder. They tried to turn the dp but Fontenot beat it out and Barrett rounded 3rd too far and was eventually tagged out on the rundown.

[Roast]

I think its a pretty safe bet that Lou blows his top at some point tonight.

Barrett on 2nd and Jones on 1st with 1 out-Fontenot hits a ball to 2nd-he goes to 2nd for 1, Fontenot beats the throw to 1st, and Barrett tries to score. He gets only about 1/3 of the way down the line before they throw home and get him caught in a rundown to end the inning.

That's just cruel to the Minor Leaguers. This guy shouldn't be an ump anywhere. Majors, minors, or little league.

[Sarcastic]

I think its a pretty safe bet that Lou blows his top at some point tonight.

 

Considering that the strike zone is now from the left hand side of the plate in, I'd say that is a pretty solid bet.

Wow, this guy is a [expletive].

 

Yes, I said it Roast. He's a [expletive]

[da bears]

Time for Gallagher to drill Andrew Jones.

they've never showed a view of Quade, but Barrett was watching him the entire time. can't help but think its on him.

that needs to be faxed to Selig's office ASAP

[Andy]

Inside, why don't you throw him out, Tschida?

[jjgman21]

now he'll boot Sean for a curveball that gets away.

[98navigator]

Willie Harris needs to be reminded of who he is!
