Im excited to see Parker, hopefully he'll throw strikes.

Mike Olt

[Schwarber Fan]

This game has been enough for me to justify Lake playing everyday. Perhaps Olt too.

No way in hell Edwin Jackson would've gotten that call.

That 3-1 breaking ball and not swinging at it will haunt him. Shows he guessing, if he doesn't pull the trigger on that.

Nor would Castillo have helped at all.

Way to waste a player Ricky

Maybe my strike zone is off but the borderline strikes up look like definite strikes and the borderline ones down low seem like balls.

Of all the things to complain about, this certainly isn't one of them.

[Schwarber Fan]

No team wastes a leadoff double like the Cubs

[UK1679666180]

I can't see them getting as good of an opport as that one again.

[UK1679666180]

I hate that Duralast commercial.

Ball 1 to Barney was definitely low in the zone but a strike that didn't get called from what the showed on TV with K zone. He's been pretty terrible all day.

Russell looks competent today. Hope I don't regret saying that before Adams hits.

[UK1679666180]

Russell's drop in velo should be a concern, its not a steep drop but he doesn't have much wiggle room.

Agreed again. He's been used a lot the past few seasons so it's not shocking his stuff is deteriorating.

Great throw by Castillo.

Random thoughts: Lake may not make good contact, but he hits the ball really hard when he does. No reason he shouldn't be playing most days, considering the other options.

 

Once Olt gets regular at bats, I'm becoming increasingly confident in his ability.

 

There needs to be an intervention by the FO to alert Renteria we have another lefty in the pen.

That wasn't easy at all.

Agree on all of these.

[UK1679666180]

that was a horrible ab right there.

[Guest]

Deshaies is fantastic talking about ump's strike zone.

[DiamondMind]

Ron Coomer is insufferable.

[mul21]

There is nothing more frustrating than watching relievers who can't throw strikes.
