8/1 Phillies (Moyer) @ Cubs (Hill) 7:05 CT, CSN

[Schwarber Fan]

Man Jacque's catch looks huge now

 

THROW A DAMN STRIKE DEMPSTER

 

this is why Marmol should be the closer

[J.R.]

Travesty if we lose this game.

 

Seems like they're all travesties.

[jjgman21]

update. Howard k's while Rollins steals second. ball hits Rollins in kidney.

 

Dempster gets 0-2 on Rollen, Rollins steals second at some point. ump has now called four pitches in a row balls that have been called strikes for Phils.

 

runners first and third, now 2-2 on Burrell.

Dempsters really gotta stop falling asleep with a guy on second.

 

Doesn't really matter if Rollins is on second or third, single still scores him.

 

 

 

 

Was ball 4 as really a strike like gameday shows it as?

 

No, but ball 3 was.

demp making it interesting

I think ball 3 was closer than 4. They were both verrrrry close. I figured Demp would get the call on ball 4 since he didnt give it to him on 3 and he's given the Phillies quite a few close pitches that were probably just out of the strike zone.

[C.C.]

This ump freaking sucks!

[TruffleShuffle]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Flames24Rulz]

Another damn walk.

[Sosa21MVP]

Burrell walks, bases loaded.

[Schwarber Fan]

This ump is gonna be lynched after the game

[TMan92]

Another strike out not called.

[Alfonso Soriano]

Throw Strikes Please

[da bears]

this is how you lose games, with the help of umpires.

from what I have seen, just trust gameday. it's been asked several times this thread and the ball strike calls are indeed as bad and one sided as gameday has revealed.

 

 

this ump is doing everything he can to hand the game to the Phillies.

Huh? That makes no sense. Marmol should CLOSE games over Dempster, because he pitches better in NON-SAVE situations?

[Magnetic Curses]

burrell becomes the most patient hitter in the world against us. he either walk or hits the ball hard, he never swings wildly like he does against everyone else.

[Schwarber Fan]

Ruiz was the guy that ruined my game thread earlier this year

[badger1679666666]

Another damn walk.

 

That'll tend to happen when strikes are called balls.

[XZero771679666304]

GAHGAHGAHGAHGAHGAHGAH

 

GAH!!!!

[JGalt73]

Marmol for closer.

[Prior4CyYoung]

wonder if this ump bet on the Phils today.

[C.C.]

Same pitch he called a ball

[TruffleShuffle]

how much trash ends up on the field if the phillies score here?

[TheDude]

So I guess strike three has to be over the middle of the plate?
