Call a consistant strike zone, ump.

[wekse]

why is everyone arguing with this kyle dude? isn't he a cards fan? of course he's going to lean the pads way.

[cubfan1955]

This will be a tough loss.

Nope...it's par for the course.

[mspcanes1]

blue looking to go home now

[98navigator]

Pie out 6-3

 

2 down

[PrimeTime]

Shouldve took that pitch

[TruffleShuffle]

while it sucks that the ump blew a call, the cubs pathetic offense could play til next week and not score off the padres' bullpen. they were gonna win this game anyway.

[Butterscup1679666578]

of course pie had to swing at that, the blue wouldve called it a strike

[InconspicuousZ28]

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

You ever faced a big league hook?

[Omar]

Jacque Jones to save us.

 

GAME.

No, I'm not a Cardinals fan. When have I ever not rooted for the Cubs?

 

I just don't agree with the "it went against the Cubs, it must be wrong" theory of fandom.

Esp w/o Lee and Ramirez in the game.

[Butterscup1679666578]

wouldnt mind seeing a JJ batflip here.

You ever seen one analyzed on a high-speed camera?

[TruffleShuffle]

jones is up? 3 outs.

[98navigator]

Jones out to LF to end the game.

 

 

1-0

[tkenm356]

another 1-run loss, yay

[Lockes Eye Scar]

worst loss of the season

[jjgman21]

it's everything I can take to not throw a chair throught the wall right now.

[Butterscup1679666578]

that ball was hit hard and its a lazy flyout, branson's ball was a crappy pop up and it goes out. another day with the cubs.

[BCVM22]

Absolutely terrible.

[Sarcastic]

Great. So the Cubs fall 6.5 back in the division on a game they should have won easily.

[98navigator]

come back and beat Maddux's butt tomorrow!
