Umpiring isn't the reason, its walking #7 and #8 hitters. Comes off as whining.

 

 

DId you not see the strikes called on Theriot and Fukudome? They were worse pitches than the pitches to the 7th and 8th hitters from Demp

[schaumpton]

Loving how some are convinced they have a better view of balls and strikes from an off centered camera, 500 feet away.

 

 

You're right about our vantage point and our perspective isn't changing inning to inning. There are pitches the CArds are getting that we're not.

It may come off as whining, but when Barden takes strike 3 but it's not called and that leads to a run, it's very frustrating, whining or not.

Thats the way the game has been for 100 years. Dempster has been a bit wild, thats all.

You can exhibit all manner anti-social behaviour, but understand, there will be consequences.

[Keener98]

F this game. My God Demp already near 60 pitches in the 3rd inning

[TruffleShuffle]

Umpiring isn't the reason, its walking #7 and #8 hitters. Comes off as whining.

 

However, when those walks come as a direct result of Dempster throwing pitches that were called strikes to Theriot, it gets frustrating.

 

a pitcher is also going to start pitching a few inches off the plate when he sees his teammates getting rung up on pitches like that.

 

lol this game is turning into an ass-whipping, let's give up another 12.

[C.C.]

Predictable!

You refuse to admit that the umpire isn't giving both teams the same strike zone, don't you?

[Butterscup1679666578]

get the pen going.

[C.C.]

Sheez! He's lost it in a hurry. Wow, this sucks!

[gflore34]

Let's see, Dempster in his can't throw a strike mode and every Cardinal gounder finding a hole and bloop falling in - great.

Im saying its more Dempster's fault, not the umpires.

[Sammys Boombox]

That pitch ain't a strike.

Consequences for what? Typing a word that is censored? Go to the Bulls game thread today and there are numerous times in there it happend and from Mods. If its censored who cares

[Derwood]

playoff Demp for the loss

[chuckywang]

Playoffs-esque.

[schaumpton]

thank god

Damn your that old and still able to get on the computer and type out rational thoughts? Im impressed, most 100 yr olds arent that functional.

[TruffleShuffle]

let's get some runs, or better yet flail helplessly at pitches outside the strike zone and lose 7-2.
