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

[Sammy Sofa]

Everyone enjoying your dear sweet Federowicz? Yeah... That was a great call up. Federowicz is garbage

They didn't really have a choice, they lost 2 catchers in a row. Sometimes you have to use replacement level players.

 

He's just mad that Contreras wasn't called up.

 

Nevermind that Contreras would have likely been as bad behind the plate, if not worse. It's a weird crusade he's on.

[Agony and Ivy]

Even though I disagree with him, going the "YOu never played baseball!!! nerds in the basement!!!!!" argument is really the wrong thing to do

 

It's more of a you couldn't have ever been a hitter if your approach was hack at balls low and away off the plate than a nerds in the basement attack. To sit there and attack a hitter for not swinging at pitches that are at best 50/50 calls is a joke.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Roark is hitting the corners tonight. We need to start protecting better with two strikes.

 

Where do you live?

[BigSlick]

The Cubs have pretty much totally avoided pitching to Harper all series and for the most part its worked fine, I guess its better than giving up a few dongers

[BigSlick]

wow i spoke way too soon

[David]

how the horsefeathers did he beat that throw?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Ugh

[David]

nevermind...looked way more off target on that angle

[soccer10k]

KB should have had that.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I blame Feddy for the tag

[BigSlick]

Yeah thats just a bad play by KB and a good aggressive baserunning by Harper

 

Calling that a double is extremely lol though

[Transmogrified Tiger]

ball 1 to Murphy was deep apparently

[Clem Fandango]

They're not calling that an error?

99% of his posts outside the minor league forums are weird anger fueled crusades

57 pitches and counting. Not liking this version of Jake

[Schwarber Fan]

Jake may not throw a quality start today.

[ScrubMD]

Damnit Arrieta is only going to go 4 innings.

I don't need to attack Soler as a hitter since the results speak for themself at this point.

 

You are letting your determination to make that point cloud your judgement on that specific at bat.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 14-2 (.875) when they score first in the game.... 9-4 (.692) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

How do you figure that? Screw you guys, what's the point of arguing.

Getting pissed at bad strike calls is not absolving Soler for responsibility for his overall output. If you're going to sarcastically dismiss arguments please do so to arguments that are actually made.

I blame the media for scaring him off PEDs.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

No runs watched here, catcher.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Federovicz's throw to 1B looked like he was holding the up arrow in RBI Baseball.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

I blame Feddy for the tag

 

I actually blame him for not backing up Bryant in bullpen.
