4/16 Cardinals (Wainright) Vs. Cubs (Marshall) 1:20 CSN

[BigSlick]

hate to be this upset about one game but this is a travesty of a ball game

[Roast]

I had a class with this guys daughter last year.

[Guest]

I went back and reviewed the Bradley at bat. I didn't see a bump of any kind, and I was wrong about helmet bumping hat, I think. No contact that I could tell. Bradley actually pretty quickly departed after his initial reaction to the garbage call.

 

Sorry it took so long to review. My Cutler jersey came in, so I had to check it out.

[abuck1220]

blame the umps if you want, but lou blew this by bringing in patton. horrible decision.

[Keener98]

I still cant believe with Bradleys history, that Lou would just sit on his ass and watch him get pissed. Get up off your ass, and stick up for your player on a terrible call in the middle of an important inning.

[erik316wttn]

I'd be okay with Lou getting tossed right about now. This ump is a %^&* idiot.

 

Does he even care? The old Lou would have been tossed about 4 times already.

 

I'd like to see MLB issue an official apology for this game, but that would mean they'd actually have to admit they were wrong, so it won't happen.

Certainly. But if that ump had any idea of what the hell the strike zone was this game would have never gotten to this spot. And we'd be leading.

Huh. Live I could have sworn I saw a bump (FSMW broadcast). Could be wrong though.

Exactly. Nothing you can do about the umps.

[Little Slide Rooter]

You can blame a reliver who has no business in the major leagues and a crappy ump all you want, but when your supposed best hitters come to the plate with the bases loaded and 1 out, and get nothing out of it, you're not going to win a lot of games.

[Tryptamine]

This game would be much less irritating if I thought the ump stood any kind of chance to be reprimanded. Instead he'll collect his check without a thing being said about it.

It doesn't happen to them more often than it does to other teams' good hitters.

Neil Cotts? WHERE THE HELL IS MARMOL LOU!

 

He doesn't always like to do things that make sense.

 

If you don't trust Cotts here, you really can't ever bring him in (which is becoming increasingly an option). Duncan has over a 300 point split between left-handers and right-handers. You have to try to make use of that split.

The whole key is Marmol shouldve started the inning, not a rule 5 kid

 

Would you have taken Marmol out before the 8th then?

 

Id have much less of a problem with Marmol being used against the middle of the order, and then Patton or Guz being used against the lower half in the 8th. What are we saving Marmol for?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

blame the umps if you want, but lou blew this by bringing in patton. horrible decision.

 

He does this all the time. He manages a bullpen by inning and not by situation.

 

It's how you had Kevin Hart pitching with the bases loaded and a tie game last year, and Chad Fox leading the team in leverage.

[Butterscup1679666578]

we better take advantage

[Roast]

yay.

[haubrich91]

What do u expect out of Cotts? He's our worst relief pitcher. He should NOT be on this team.

 

If he wasn't left handed, he probably wouldn't be on the team.

As long as the check he's cashing isn't coming from a bookie.

Is said best hitter suppose to swing at crappy pitches?

If enough front offices make a stink about it, maybe something would happen. But I don't know of many teams who get screwed by bad calls more than we do.

[Butterscup1679666578]

ugh.

[Roast]

STOP CALLING THAT ON US IF YOU AREN'T GOING TO CALL IT ON THEM, DAMNIT

[Bixby]

GIDP here and I will flip out

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hitting with runners on has been awful this year. We simply aren't driving guys in unless its through the HR. Really starting to get frustrating.

 

Not counting yesterday's game.... we've goy 11 RBI in 19 PA. That is not awful.
