5/16 Astros (Oswalt) @ Cubs (Wells) 12:05 CSN

I can't believe Dye gets two games for tossing his helmet and having it hit the ump.

MLB's inconsistency on those suspensions is absolutely laughable.

Yup pretty much BS huh.

I'm pretty sure it's in the rulebook if you slam equipment forcefully it's an automatic $5,000 fine and subject for ejection based on discretion of the umpire. If said equipment hits an opposing player or umpire it's fair game for a suspension.

I think he means BS the other direction. They tried to give Bradley 2 games for a hat bump and Dye gets 2 for throwing stuff at him?

Ahhh gotcha... I agree 100% then.

[Tryptamine]

These automatic outs like Lee and Fontenot are really starting to annoy me. It seems like the Cubs have men on base every time these guys get up there and start flailing away.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Should be interesting to see how Wells handles the 'Stros this 2nd time through the order

Pretty well so far

[Hall7810]

He needs a quick inning....

Fontenot has been awful. Hendry might need to look for a 2b at the trade deadline. Maybe we can trade the 3 guys we got for DeRo to get us a decent 2b.

[Andy]

Weird to have a book I already own being plugged.

[E.J.]

Not a good idea to walk people in front of Carlos Lee.

[Tryptamine]

This strike zone is as small as I've seen this year.

[Keener98]

Apparently the only way to get a called strike is to throw it directly down the middle of the plate. This zone is BS

[Hall7810]

Not a good idea to walk people in front of Carlos Lee.

 

Ball 4 should've been a strike.

Ball 4 was a strike not sure where he has to throw it

[CyHawk_Cub]

As mentioned earlier, Wells doesn't seem to have a put-away pitch

[E.J.]

Tejada grounds out again to end the inning. Wells up to 62 pitches through 3 innings.

[Tryptamine]

I can't believe there are no runs with this strike zone. All you have to do is sit there with the bat on your shoulder and wait for one dead center; if you don't get it you walk.

[hotshot13422]

I don't care what you guys say, I like Wells. Any pitcher who doesn't give up runs is cool with me

[Tryptamine]

Typically I like pitcher's duels, but this one just has bad written all over it. The chances that Randy Wells out duels Roy Oswalt is minimal at best.

Yep. It definitely feels like it's just a matter of time before Wells falls apart and the Astros score 3+.

Wells is only going 1 more inning at this rate...
