6/16 Padres (Young) v. CUBS (BIG Z!) WGN 12:05 CST

[Brian]

why do you do this to me cubs?

[cubfan1955]

Those same pitches will be strikes in the bottom of the 9th. I'll guarantee that.

[PrimeTime]

check branyan's bat...no way that ball should have left the yard.

 

that looked like a freakin popup..

[NomarSammy]

Commence the whining, but both of those pitches were balls.

 

You obviously haven't been watching today. Those balls were in the umps zone all day long.

 

Perhaps, but if a Cubs player had been called out on those, there would be even more outrage. The first was below the knees and the second was off the plate.

 

watch the game--that is just an idiotic statement because he has been calling strikes on cubs like that all day--and padres as well until this last 2 inings--it is a joke

[Sarcastic]

He has very good power and the wind didn't hurt him.

I agree. Ridiculous.

Its where the pitch crosses the front of the plate. The first pitch was above the knees when it crossed. If there was consistency in his K zone, Branyan was out.

i was joking...but it didn't look to be gone off the bat.

[TruffleShuffle]

why do you do this to me cubs?

 

hey they won 3 games in a row, 4 is asking too much

[Butterscup1679666578]

NO. THAT'S RIDICULOUS BLUE CALL IT BOTH WAYS

[Guest]

Strike 2 to Sori was BS.

[InconspicuousZ28]

And that called second strike on Alfonso was WAY outside.

[mspcanes1]

looks like the strike zone is back to where it's been all game

[jjgman21]

Should have one the first game against the Mariners.

That's physically impossible. No matter what the pitch looks like from the behind-the-mound angle, it does not cross the front of home plate at the knees and hit the catcher's mitt well below.

[98navigator]

Sori out 6-3

 

1 down

[Butterscup1679666578]

come on kid, XBH.

and the last two vs. the braves b4 blue took over and gave atl two games

[kujay]

Nice to have Izzy up in the 3 spot.

[jjgman21]

hmmm. why would the catcher be calling for pitches on the outside corner against a lefty?

 

 

maybe because the ump has called it a strike all day.

[CubinNY]

This will be a tough loss.
