Was really nice to see Motte come out and just shut things down.

The bullpen's kickassness last night was definitely the biggest positive to come from the evening.

Soler's defense was the worst thing to come out of that game for me.

Omg just saw the Rizzo ab on tv. Those calls were really egregious.

Winters sucked equally for both teams, though.

Yep. Hopefully Bryant is practicing right field.

Every cards player they show on the board looks drunk and sun burned in their photo.

[Careless]

Ron didn't live to see it.

Ernie didn't live to see it.

Neither did Oscar Taveras.

 

Too soon?

 

I might or might not have told a drunk Cardinals fan who was jeering at Lester and referencing his dead arm that a dead arm is better than a dead outfielder. (I did do that, Cardinal fans bring the worst out of me.)

 

omg this is incredible

I'm sticking with "moment of silence for Taveras's girlfriend"

Yea in the roughly 4 innings I saw he had at least two bad plays. Did he get any chance to test out his arm at least?

No. Pretty sure one of his bobbles was due to him being overeager to unleash the cannon.

This. I missed the first three innings so all i saw was bad Soler defense and RISP inadequacies. The bullpen was [expletive] excellent.

I think someone on another board said Pitch F/X agreed with the call on Rizzo, but I'm too lazy to check. TV angles can't be trusted.

[KingCubsFan]

I thought overall the team did a good job of seeing pitches. Not every pitcher is going to be like Wainwright and be able to drop 3-2 breaking balls on the corner consistently, so the patience will eventually lead to good things.

And in fairness, Wainwright's K the next half inning.

The ump was terrible for both sides. This is what MLB needs to address if they want more runs, not shifting.

And that's why Wainwright is so good. Three pitches right on the edge of the strikezone and nothing hittable

Jorge Soler hit 2 pitches over 100MPH off the bat last night... One was 111.6 MPH. He was 0 for 4 to show for it. http://baseballsavant.com/pitchfx_search.php?hfPT=&hfZ=&hfGT=R%7C&hfPR=&hfAB=&ddlStadium=&hfBB=&hfHL=&hfCount=&ddlYear=2015&ddlPlayer=batter&ddlMin=0&ddlPitcherHand=&ddlBatterHand=&ddlVGT=&ddlVLT=&ddlBBVGT=100&ddlBBVLT=&ddlDistGT=&ddlDistLT=&txtAngleGT=&txtAngleLT=&txtGameDateGT=&txtGameDateLT=&ddlPlayerHeightGT=&ddlPlayerHeightLT=&ddlPlayerWeightGT=&ddlPlayerWeightLT=&ddlTeam=&ddlPosition=&hfRO=&ddlHomeRoad=&hfIN=&hfOT=&ddlGroupBy=name&ddlSort=desc&ddlMinABs=0&ddlSBSuccess=&txtPx1=&txtPx2=&txtPz1=&txtPz2=&ddlRPXGT_ft=&ddlRPXGT_in=&ddlRPXLT_ft=&ddlRPXLT_in=&ddlRPYGT_ft=&ddlRPYGT_in=&ddlRPYLT_ft=&ddlRPYLT_in=&txtBAGT=&txtBALT=&txtBLGT=&txtBLLT=&txtSRGT=&txtSRLT=&txtSDGT=&txtSDLT=#results …

Those aren't on the edge of the strike zone. The edge of the strike zone is a [expletive] strike. its a 3-1 count with a runner on 2nd and no outs. Not strike 3. [expletive] Wainwright, Molina, and the umpire.

 

Bring on the robots- David you are up.

They are close enough for the batter to hesitate and for the ump to flip a coin on the call
