10/18 Cubs (Arrieta) @ Mets (Syndergaard), TBS, 7:07 CT

[Irrelevant Dude]

This K Zone makes watching the game so much worse.

Yeah, I was just thinking the same thing yesterday. It would be a nice tool to show pitch location with robot umps in place, but with human umps it has just become a constant source of frustration.

[Derwood]

Squeezing him with the pitcher up, FFS

[UMFan83]

I remember in the Wild Card game he had first pitch strikes to like 16 of the first 18 batters or something. Now it seems like almost every batter gets ahead 1-0

[TysonCBulls423]

Going full count on the pitcher? Come on Jake

[Geech]

Slint TV really sucks, you guys. I'm not going to feel bad when I cancel at the end of my free trial.

[SpongeWorthy]

the mets are really laying off of arrieta's off speed stuff which seems to have pretty good movement on it.

[KatJ]

Now I'm reminded of terrible Cubs players.

.

[rocket]

where was this [expletive] in the first JAKE

to be fair Jake struck him out on strike 4

[kente777]

again, what if the cubs do this for 10 years and never get past the nlcs, with a daniel murphy and curts granderson hiding behind every lesser talented team, will you all believe in curses then?

 

please shut the [expletive] up already

 

it was weird, admit it. at least this is more like giants/will clark than padres/garvey and marlins/beckett. at least we ain't getting close.

 

 

I was just thinking that I was starting to hate Daniel Murphy more than Steve Garvey.

 

Geez I wish the Cubs could catch some breaks and capitalize on them. Not feeling it this series so far.

 

Nothin much to cheer about so far in this series.

the only one of those references that mean anything to me is beckett and there was nothing all that surprising about what he did

[BrockLanders]

Jake isn't right. No [expletive] way you should get to a full count against the pitcher, especially when you should be trying to be efficient after 30 pitches in the 1st.

[weis21]

the cubs will score at least one run this inning. god, i hope so at least to shut up some of you miserable, pessimistic posters.

[Fred Hornkohl]

P/PA through 2 inning(s)....

 

CUBS: 4.71

Mets 4.78

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Butterscup1679666578]

I wonder whether MLB has strongly suggested that TBS not comment about the strike zone. It sure seems like they are failing to point out the location of most pitches being called outside the zone. Either that, or their broadcasters are just terrible at their jobs.

 

these announcers are dog [expletive], so i dont even think they notice.

[JoshiQ]

If there's one thing I hate about sports forums, you can go to one and claim the announcers are totally against you and the umps are bad. Go to the opposite team and it is the exact same thing.

Beckett was pretty horrible in game 1 though. didnt Beckett attribute his run from game 5 on to Sammy getting mad at him for throwing inside?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Runs please

13 pitch inning ya goober

[Fro]

Come on, try to throw it past Baez... dare ya.

[Guest]

throw him another fastball, i [expletive] dare you

[weis21]

DAMMIT I forgot to cancel my 7 day trial. This pisses me off more than anything that has happened so far in this game (especially because the cubs are going to come back and win)

[MarkR]

Hey guys, I'm glad Ron Darling is stroking Thor all night too.

[imb]

people are being such idiots about the arrieta innings thing. im sure the last 14 innings have been the difference between being god mode and being [expletive].
