5/6 Cubs (Lester) @ Cardinals (Lynn) 7:15 CSN

[fallacy]

Cubs batters have three options; Strike out, walk, or single. Unless it's Castro, he only has one option, grounder to the left side.

 

 

I'm glad Kris picked single

tight strike zone tonight

[DiamondMind]

scoring runs the right way

[halplm]

all of this ump's strike calls are off the plate...

WE LEARNED IT FROM WATCHING YOU -

 

cubs offense talking to cardinals offense

[DiamondMind]

We need like fifteen more runs this inning to make me feel comfortable

[fallacy]

Oh hey, Castro grounded it to the left side. Who would've guessed

[ctcf]

mmmmmmm castro

tight strike zone tonight

 

I don't blame Lynn for being shocked that was a ball.

loling at that being called a hit after the error that Bryant took earlier in this series

It was high, Molina just did a good job of framing it and then held it there like a doofus

[kujay]

David Ross being on this team and getting ABs is dumb.

[halplm]

I'm glad Ross is here, I like having the 7 and 8 hitter be automatic outs.

[DiamondMind]

Umps have been driving me insane for the last two weeks pretty much every game. Very inconsistent in all their calls.

this scorekeeper has been screwy all series

[DiamondMind]

you suck ross

[TruffleShuffle]

meanwhile "ball one" to castro was well within the strike zone.

[ctcf]

Someone should just make fart noises every time Ross swings.

This article seems really stupid that Len is talking about

[ScrubMD]

So which Cardinal is going to hit a 3 run HR this inning?

[Gilby]

I feel like Castro has such an easy adjustment to make, but he just hasn't done it yet.

[fallacy]

If Lester gets out of this inning with the lead I will be amazed

It's not. I linked to it early in the thread. It's a good read.

Yep. If there are stats that say the Cubs aren't being patient enough, sure, but I'm pretty sure their approach has been fine, and it doesn't explain how worse teams are hitting for more power
