6/15 Padres (Wells) v. CUBS (Lilly) WGN 1:20 CST

[Rob]

1- I think that could have been catcher's indifference (judment call)

 

4- Barrett is a terrible defensive catcher no amount of sarcasim will change that

 

1. I think defensive indifference is only called in the 9th, IIRC.

 

4. It was cynicism. I know Barrett is fairly lousy on defense, but I hate it when people try to use numbers to prove it... especially when the numbers don't mean too much given the context (i.e. how slow our pitchers are to the plate)

[C.C.]

C'mon Rally!!!!

[Derwood]

making wells work here

[inari]

Fantastic at bat by DeRo. Great eye.

[Rob]

Wells was not happy about that last call.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

DeRosa walks.

 

Loaded up.

[Derwood]

wow, DeRo walks on what looked like a strike down the middle

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Wells was not happy about that last call.

 

I thought he was calling for the hot dog vendor myself.

[C.C.]

Well at least we made Wells work this inning. Barrett will K.

[inari]

Good approach, swing at the first pitch after a walk.

[Derwood]

BARRETT IS A JACKASS

[BCVM22]

On the first pitch. :(

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

And Barrett ends the threat by popping out to CF.

 

Barret haters will arrive in 3-2-1....

[98navigator]

God, Barrett is sucking

[illiniguy]

Nice, after Wells shows up the ump on balls and strike call Michael swings at the first pitch. I can't wait until he is gone.

[CDBears1259]

DAMNIT BARRETT!!! Wells is flustered and you just helped his cause.

[jersey cubs fan]

first pitch female dog

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I called that perfectly.

[TruffleShuffle]

barrett has never seen a first pitch he didn't like

[illiniguy]

And Barrett ends the threat by popping out to CF.

 

Barret haters will arrive in 3-2-1....

What exactly has he done to not warrant the hate this year?

[transplanted_suburbanite]

First pitch swingin' on the Cubs comes from peer pressure.

[Sarcastic]

Good approach, swing at the first pitch after a walk.

 

Some of those pitches were very close. It isn't as if Wells is known for having control problems. If Barrett got a good pitch to hit he should have swung. He also should have hit it much better than he did.

[Rob]

I am appalled at how fast everybody has turned on Barrett...

[TruffleShuffle]

I called that perfectly.

 

guy stupidly swings at the first pitch, i guess we should just give him a pat on the back and say "good try, fella"

[C.C.]

He's worthless....
