Another frustrating out.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

No luck today I guess.

[bcl412]

Not a strike

I hope this umpire falls into a pit of snakes after the game. Or right now.

[Guest]

and then he hacks at one because he put it in the same spot, aggravating

[Gilby]

Ugh, that strike forced Russell to swing at the next pitch in a similar spot.

[ScrubMD]

I hate cursive and I hate all of you!

[bcl412]

Disgraceful umpiring

[Andy]

Stupid game. Get em on Tuesday.

[Schwarber Fan]

Tough to win a game with that much going against you.

per Brooks Baseball, the Pirates got 10 pitches called strikes that were clearly out of the zone(e.g. the red dot is not touching the black line for the strike zone at all). The Cubs got 3. It was 9-1 for the starters.

 

edit: for fun, here's the Soler at bat with the bases loaded

Meh, I'm not that mad. Can't win them all. Great home stand.

Yeah, the entire graph of this game for right-handers is disgusting.
