How can you possibly walk that [expletive] tard?

Hammel missed his spot but ball 4 was a strike and in the zone. Contreras had to reach across the zone for it tho and cost him.

why were we being so careful with him? he can't hit anything

[NotSoSober]

that's been a strike all night, but of course you give the pitcher who's at bat the benefit

The only purpose of this game is maximizing humiliation for Harrison

[Cubswin11]

Oh, now that's a ball

[Brian]

doh

[Ding Dong Johnson]

and that's why we don't pitch around Ryan Vogelsong

[UMFan83]

Dammit

[Cubswin11]

Russell probably can get Vogelsong at 2B there if Bryant let's that go

THAT'S why you never walk the opposing pitcher.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Randazzo is suddenly all over the place

2nd half (of the game) Hammel

[NotSoSober]

ump going full NBA Jam mode

[BigSlick]

Jason.....

[UMFan83]

After the 4th I was like "he's on pace to go 8". Then I kept changing my projection and now I think he's only going to go 5

[Brian]

i have a feeling this going to end up being very annoying

[Cubswin11]

These aren't strikes but if you're going to be a horsefeathers all night and call balls low and outside the zone you have to call these, you horsefeathering ump

[Cubswin11]

Way to get out of it Hammel

[Brian]

if he gets a strike the Pirates don't deserve to win another game all year

[Transmogrified Tiger]

two lazy plays by Polanco in this game

[PackLandVA]

So is the script here that Hammel bats in the bottom of the fifth, only to put the first man on base in the top of the sixth and get pulled??

he must make amazing plays when I'm not looking because I don't know how he doesn't grade out as the worst player in OF history from what I've seen

Yet Jay Bruce plays defense against us like Heyward on steroids.
