8/16 Brewers (Anderson) @ Cubs (Good Hammel) 7:05 PM CT WPWR

[Irrelevant Dude]

I'm not sure I've ever seen a more obviously wrong replay call than that one.

What about the call that went against the Marlins a few weeks ago? That one was awful too.

[mul21]

Guys, I didn't see any of those. ;-)

[Gilby]

Anecdotally, I feel like they've gotten better at overturning calls that are likely wrong rather than only changing the ones that are 100%, embarrassingly wrong.

 

I'm not sure what happened there, though.

[Brian]

was the left fielder playing in Center, he ran forever and the ball was in the air forever

[ScrubMD]

I remember in little league, the 1B ump called his son safe when he was out by like 4 steps.

[Sammy Sofa]

Maybe I'm wrong, but did anyone else expect more HRs this year? Just looking at the numbers and the Cubs are tied for 13th with 144. I never would have bet the Mets,Rays and Cardinals would all be ahead of us.

 

Everyone did. Schwarber not being hobbled would make a big difference. Add him and they're almost certainly in the top 5.

[Brian]

WILLY!

[ScrubMD]

OUT!

[Brian]

calling Javy dong here

[Brian]

[Tryptamine]

Holy horsefeathers that was a huge dong.

[ScrubMD]

Well done.

[NotSoSober]

Damn, that was crushed.

[raw]

calling Javy dong here

 

Good call.

[Schwarber Fan]

We rock.

[Brian]

that might be top 5 dong of the year, perfectly pimped

[Tim]

oh my was that crushed

[raw]

Underrated bat flip. Subtle, not flashy.

[17 Seconds]

so the bad call just ended up leading to that sequence of events

A couple of things

 

1) I think Wrigley has been very suppressed environment for dongs his year. I think there have only been 12 games with the wind blowing out this year

 

2) Missing a bat like Schwarber takes away like 30+ dongs. As does missing Soler for awhile. Heyward went from 15-20 HR power to 5-7 HR

 

But yeah 13th in HR and 13th in SLG is slightly disappointing but who would you say is having a disappointing year with regards to HRs? Bryant should finish around 35, rizzo his usual 30-35, Fowler will probably have 13-15, Baez has 13 (DONG!), Russell already has a career high in HR, Ross has more HRs than last year, Zobrist will finish with his usual 14-15 HR. Only disappointments I can think of are Heyward and Montero

[Tim]

but I thought Javy couldn't hit right handers.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Pimp that dong Baez!

[Sammy Sofa]

Hell yeah.

[BigSlick]

Javy owns
