How does an umpire miss that call? That's brutal

[Ski]

easily. what a blown call

The ump's positioning was pretty shitty, admittedly.

[Gilby]

Yikes. A Major League umpire with that good of view shouldn't be missing that.

[NotSoSober]

How does an umpire miss that call? That's brutal

what's worse is how long its taking them to get it right. jesus christ

[Ding Dong Johnson]

It should not be taking this long

[Gilby]

That was nice of the replay ump to pretend it was close for his partner's sake.

[weis21]

Everybody quote me!!

I sort of feel like that is what you want, right?

 

SAFE!

[Ski]

Safe!

[NotSoSober]

damnit

[TruffleShuffle]

[expletive] up yet another runner at 3rd, 0 out spot. Wonderful.

 

How are we THIS bad with runners on third and less than 2 outs? Jesus Christ.

 

 

One of the outs was with the pitcher batting, but, yes, one of our hitters struck out. God forbid.

 

the cubs have a line of .244/.341/.411/.753 with runners on third and less than two outs.

 

rondon fan and ski certainly have a higher failure rate with their posts than the cubs do with runners on third and less than two outs.

[UMFan83]

damn that was smoked

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Ok, Schwarber is getting BABIP'd to death the last few days.

[ScrubMD]

you (and others here) definitely think more of Richard/Cahill than I do. I'd rather see if Hammel can actually pitch like he did for half a season rather than blindly hope either of them can somehow luck their way into a decent start. agree to disagree, i guess.

 

I don't think it's hoping for luck when they've both been very good in their time here (yeah, Cahill has like 10 innings, but still).

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Poop

[Guest]

well I suppose that's a bit karmic for banking the ball off 2nd to score Hammel

[Guest]

[expletive] off

Hahaha. Isn't that about identical to their overall batting line?

[Sosa21MVP]

Good inning, back on track.

[Ski]

We probably get screwed on just as many defensive gems as any other club, but it sure doesn't feel like it.

[weis21]

lol WTF. that was a coghlan route

 

schwarber has absolutely scalded two balls tonight. keep it up, kyle. they'll fall soon. or be uncatchable (because of a HR, not a foul ball)

[ARCubsFan]

Can't believe we went so long without instant replay in baseball. These terrible calls impacted games.

Pirates up 2-0. #ofcoursetheyare #RondonFan

and richard has been much, MUCH, better as a reliever than his 3 GS

 

again, i just disagree. and i'm hoping Hammel doesn't fall on his face now and make me look bad. I have a feeling he turns this into a QS
