10/20 Cubs (Lester) vs Dodgers (Maeda) 7 p.m., FS1

[Tracer Bullet]

the guy has a .286 OPS Jon, come the horsefeathers on

[Cubswin11]

 

swinging at a 2-0 count doesn't justify a BS strike 3 call.

Swinging at balls up 2-0 puts you in a spot to be horsefeathers by umpires who are inherently awful

 

that's just stupid. umps make mistakes, so never swing at 2-0 pitches?

No. Don't swing at shitty pitches up 2-0 knowing umps make mistakes.

What the heck was that

4 pitch leadoff walk to a bad hitter, bold strategy here.

[davell]

DP here plz

[UMFan83]

So Lester isn't getting that same call. Hmmm

[Irrelevant Dude]

Where was that pitch

[Tracer Bullet]

[ScrubMD]

Luckily he swung at strike 5.

[David]

He had a good ab

 

saw a lot of pitches but not sure i'd call it a good ab just b/c he fouled them off.

 

Plus were past the point where we can feel good about Good ABs with bad results

I'll feel good about any AB with a lot of pitches

[bcl412]

It's gonna be awesome when Lester throws over and picks someone off.

[UMFan83]

Come on Jon

[davell]

DP now works too

fouling off pitches over the plate only to strike out doesn't seem like a victory in any sense of the word

[ScrubMD]

What the horsefeathers with this ump

[Cubswin11]

This zone sucks

[chicagocubs04]

why isnt Jon getting the same zone

[USSoccer]

Oh so now it's a tight strike zone

[Tracer Bullet]

where the horsefeathers was that

[UMFan83]

Get some control and fast

[Tracer Bullet]

think mlb wants a 7 game series here

[USSoccer]

Okay we got the same bs call on the edge

[UMFan83]

horsefeathering ump is unsure of himself
