8/6 Giants (Heston) @ Cubs (Hammel) - 7:05 pm CT CSN

[Schwarber Fan]

Either a 2 run homer or an out here. There is no in between.

There is no in between.

 

This should be on your tombstone.

[TruffleShuffle]

rondon fan somehow makes incorrect predictions every game, yet he seems to never lose confidence in his ability to prognosticate.

[Derwood]

wtf is rum chata?

 

Think Bailey's that tastes like the milk left after eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch

[NotSoSober]

teagarden time

[TMan92]

Nice to see another team line out hard

[Fred Hornkohl]

This would be a real good spot for another dong or two.

Umpires are bound and determined to send us into the super dead ball era, we'll be playing cricket soon the zone is so low

[UMFan83]

Is this like national "Get drunk and umpire an MLB game" week or something? Some terrible strike zones the last few games

Theo needs to draft golfers.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 43-2 (.956) when they lead at the end of the 8th inning.... 15-46 (.246) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[TruffleShuffle]

according to cubsump twitter, the giants have gotten 8 favorable calls from this home plate umpire. cubs have gotten 0.

[UMFan83]

Time to buckle up. Assuming we will see Posey hit 2nd or 3rd in the 9th

[Schwarber Fan]

Buckle those seat belts.

by which you mean all season

See what Romo just did? Do that, Hector.

[BigSlick]

The weirdest thing about the umpiring recently is that every other sport is making strong moves to *increase* scoring. Football has severely limited what defensive players can do, NHL has made moves to increase scoring, why would the MLB let umps collectively hurt the ability of baseball teams to score when its generally accepted higher scoring increases viewership? (I'm not sure if that is true, but its accepted as true)

Because they are bound and determined to speed up games, whatever the cost

[Irrelevant Dude]

I know it's probably the right move, but I don't like Ross coming up here with Schwarber's spot due to lead off in the event that the Giants tie this up.

[Andy]

Even though I have no reason to doubt Rondon, I always get more nervous in these games where we stopped scoring 6+ innings ago.

[NotSoSober]

duane kuiper thinks any fly ball off the bat is a HR . that was a strike, and i don't care for pulling schwarber for orss here.

[UMFan83]

That was pure nasty

[Sammy Sofa]

Almost everyone on the Giants looks like they fell out of a dumpster.

[treebird]

that pitch was ridiculous
