Suddenly Ted cannot hit the strike zone.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Do they ever call the "not getting out of the way of a pitch" rule in the pros? I can't remember the last time I saw it called.

 

1965 against Don Drysdale.

[UMFan83]

Well this was a crappy inning

[BCVM22]

Fan-soapdropping-tastic.

[Mizzou]

Effing s.

It looked like he moved his arm into the pitch.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Werth singled to right field , Utley & Howard scored, Victorino to third

[Mizzou]

All because that douche bag dropped his arm 6 inches to purposely get hit.

[UMFan83]

This is a really annoying inning. Single...weak single...HBP when hitter leans into one on 0-2 count...single

 

Werth is definitely a Cub killer

[BCVM22]

Both teams screwed over multiple times by the umpires this series.

I think I've only seen it once. I believe it was against the guy that is on ESPN's Baseball Tonight team now.

[abuck1220]

the only thing worse than dick stockon is this umpiring crew.

[Ski]

Cubs, let's do a little hitting with RISP next inning.

 

Howard is a jerk. Why didn't he strike out with 2 strikes to end the inning like he's supposed to?

EY, Cubs and Dodgers, the game where some fan stole an LA pitcher's hat

[UMFan83]

Yeah, they have honestly blown multiple calls for each side this series.

[BCVM22]

I predict that the countless LOB earlier in the game come back to haunt us and we lose 3-1 when it could have been 5-3 or 6-3 at this point.

[bhogg]

what is our record when playing on Fox? I can't remember the last time we won a game that Fox broadcast.

[Wilson A2000]

Fukudome does not have the great throwing arm that he was said to have. He has an average arm. Soto cannot be that out in front of the plate. He has to be able to block it and wait for the throw.

 

Great teams have to capitalize on first and third with no one out and your clean-up hitter coming up.

[ConstableRabbit]

Well, to be fair, the umpires did know that the ball hit Victorino, unlike Stockton... "Strike three!!!"

[Fred Hornkohl]

i recall Biggio getting called on it a couple times

[InconspicuousZ28]

This is what our guys get for leaving so many on base.

 

8 hits and one freaking run, versus 5 hits and 3 runs. Eff this.

[ChiCubsFan]

the only thing worse than dick stockon is this umpiring crew.

 

and gonorrhea...wait, no just the umpiring crew

[Yanksfan1523]

Soto was too far away from the base. He will learn to let the ball come to him and do a better job blocking the plate. UNLESS he turns into Jorge Posada, LMAO!

I think Crede was called on it a few years ago.
