8/29 Pirates (Brault)<-WHO? @ Cubs (Jake), 7:05 PM, CSN

[bcl412]

I want jake to go kerry wood on the ump.

[Schwarber Fan]

Damn, pretty good play by Jake there.

[TMan92]

We need to have a day of fielding practice

[Gmoney08]

Hindsight is 20/20 but Jake should not have started this inning.

 

Why? All i saw is a K em out and throw em out followed by a groundball back to the pitcher. Thats three outs right?

[17 Seconds]

Damn, pretty good play by Jake there.

 

no

[Careless]

actually harrison's celebration was fun and it was a sweet catch

Yeah, I can't believe the people here who are all about bat flips are complaining about it. He made a great play.

[UMFan83]

Wtf? He started the inning at 80 pitches, gave up a soft single and then struck out a guy (called a walk) and induced a ground ball

I don't think the DP was a given. I'm good with going for the lead runner.

[Liam Neeson]

How the hell did Soler's ball not land on the moon?

[dfnowak]

Oh goody! Wood is coming in...this should end well.

 

Anyone else getting that annoying blue stripe across the top of your tv screen?

[Gilby]

Judging by his appearance, this ump worked his way up to the big leagues very quickly. Remarkable.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

nope, go buy a new tv

We aren't complaining about him doing it. It just reminded us that we hate the Pirates. We kinda forgot that because they suck and #wearegood. But their players have this inferiority complex with us. And we had forgiven them until we got back in the ring and remembered how douchy they are.

[squally1313]

The thing that most worries me in the playoffs is horse [expletive] umpires.

 

Unpopular opinion here, but um...go look at some of Jake's highlights from the Wild Card game last year. Not saying we didn't deserve the win, but...we're just as likely to get the calls as we are for them to go against us when it matters (and if you believe in conspiracies, we're probably more likely than not to get the calls, but probably besides the point).

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Willson I will paypal you a million dollars if you backhand flip the ball to the mound on strike 3

[BigSlick]

How much more do we have to see of Travis Wood

[dfnowak]

That was surprising

Are you still?

[Gmoney08]

Jakes gotta be pissed with that tagged on to the ERA after this stupid ass ump and stupid travis wood.

[UMFan83]

Welp fairly or not this will hurt his Cy young chances as Travis Wood gets the job done again

cervelli and cole are dumb, but the pirates are pretty low on my hate list. i kind of feel sorry for them that they're stuck in our division.

[TruffleShuffle]

great 0-2 pitch trav. you somehow made josh harrison look like a guy who can hit.

[Schwarber Fan]

That'll do it. When's the last time we lost 3 straight? First half?

It goes much deeper than that. We've already rattled off a pretty extensive list, and there is a lot more. Do you not remember them hitting Jake with a pitch in a playoff game? Or Rodriguez going insane?
