5/8 Dusty Baker's Nats (Roark) @ CUBS (Jake) 1:20 PM CDT WGN/MLBN

I have a feeling I am going to be yelling at the TV a lot today.

[David]

I give Soler another month, tops.

 

kind of an odd time to say that

[BigSlick]

Like every Soler K ever, he bears no responsibility. It's the Umpire Conspiracy.

I give Soler another month, tops.

 

I, uh, are you two actually watching the game? I'd be mad if any of my hitters *didn't* approach that at bat the way Soler did

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Soler has to lead the league in out of zone K looking rate since his debut.

[fallacy]

I can bet that Fowler won't come back out

Surprising. He looked like he was dying out there

yep

 

only place i can fault him is maybe he could've tried to protect on strike 3 after seeing how it's being called, but i really would rather he just swing at actual strikes i think

[Irrelevant Dude]

I'm watching and didn't have a problem with either of those last two strikes. The last one especially was meat.

You didn't have a problem with a pitch both low and outside being called a strike?

And then Jake throws a curveball at the same height of Soler's strike three and doesn't get it called, lol

My problem was Jake was getting squeezed in the top half and then all of a sudden Roark gets a big zone.

Strike 3 was high and outside. Maybe you should have your eyes checked.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

That was annoyingly good work by Ramos

the called strike 3 jake got i thought was up and away for sure. was absolutely shocked when it was called a strike.

Big zone? The second K was maybe half an inch off the corner, tops, and the third strike should have zero complaints. I'm also just bored of the excuses for Soler.

 

I guess I'm just thinking of the Harper at bat.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Any complaints about that one? Same spot as Roark's second strike to Soler.

I'm not sure we're watching the same game.

[David]

Of course we're not going to complain about a bad call that goes our way. WTF?

Someone who's never hit in a competitive baseball game would say this.

Strike 1 to Espinosa was the same pitch as ball 1 to Ramos, which should have been strike 3. If he calls that, Roark leads off the third.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I miss our good defensive catchers

[BigSlick]

UGH.

 

FEDEROWICZ WHAT ARE WE EVEN PAYING YOU TO DO

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Go away, Federowicz.

[David]

son of a bitch. horsefeathers that.

[NotSoSober]

Fedor is worthless

[TMan92]

Back to the minors!

Now I really do
