time to mow the lawn

[Cubswin11]

Really Soriano?

[NotSoSober]

Soriano is in mid-season form

[jersey cubs fan]

I wonder how the umps thought the ball got into his throwing hand

He reached down for it, and from some angles that could easily look like he was reaching into his mitt.

 

That's what I thought when I saw it live

[expletive] horse [expletive]

[Ryno12]

Soriano, at least swing like you give a [expletive].

[erik316wttn]

thank God we don't have instant replay, good thing the integrity of the game is preserved by the umpire being able to blow an obvious call.

 

But that's the way things have always been so that's how things should always be! And if you have replay each game will take like a week and a half!

 

In conclusion, replay is for Commies and women.

[Hall7810]

I really hate the tough guy stance these umps take when arguing a BS call they have no idea about.

 

Randy Wolf's brother

[Careless]

Soriano managing to get worse with each AB.

 

And you know they were showing the replay of him dropping the ball at the stadium while Lou was arguing with them

[Guest]

Soriano looks like he's stepping into the box for the first time in his life.

[David]

i love how they argue that replay would somehow delay the game more than that

[Soul]

dadgum it we're gunna protest!

[Magnetic Curses]

i want to see the umpires forced to hold a mini pc to answer for calls like that. i want to see them torched and i want to see their jobs at stake.

[inari]

The Braves don't need your help, umps.

YES!

The ump is on the left. And yeah great example of why catches should be able to be replayed. They can look and see if it was caught and if not they look at video and see where runners were and they all get to advance to the base they were currently running to.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

[OleMissCub]

sori looks like an AL pitcher in the batter's box

I highly doubt they would show that...

 

 

I was at Game 5, and they definitely didn't show the Lofton "trap."

[Hawk4Hall]

Soriano should wear a ski mask at every AB. He's the world greatest thief.

[Schwarber Fan]

INSTANT [expletive] REPLAY

 

christ, [expletive] this league

[Careless]

Soriano looks like he's stepping into the box for the first time in his life.

Like it was the first time he ever saw anything other than a fastball

they showed a messed-up angle of it but it was clear he dropped it, even with the announcers gushing over the "highlight reel" play.

[Butterscup1679666578]

i hate fontenot so much

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Call McLouth on that play. It'd almost even things out.
