10/25 World Series Game 1: Cubs (Lester) vs Indians (Kluber) 7 p.m., FOX

[soccer10k]

Hmm, I've noticed like two bad calls (Bryant strike 3 and Napoli ball 2). I think Kluber is just pitching extremely well...

 

Bryant swinging at sliders biting out of the zone after being rung up on a pitch 4 inches outside is not an accident.

 

Also a fraction of the 2 seamers to lefties are actually getting back to the zone, I'd like to invite Larry Vanover to retire at his earliest convenience.

 

Unless you have no faith in Gameday, they're getting back to the zone. Kluber's been dealing.

[halplm]

that was a strike before

[Transmogrified Tiger]

you had an entire break without commercials and you planned on interviewing the Indians pitching coach during game action

[Hairyducked Idiot]

stop blaming the ump. He's dealing and the cubs are flailing

 

Cubs are flailing because they can't get ahead in the count or count on balls being called balls with two strikes

[BigSlick]

Can you give Lester the horsefeathering corner you horsefeathers?

[DurbanJer]

Jon is throwing it to the same exact horsefeathering spot and getting ball calls. Ump can't read a righty v. lefty.

[USSoccer]

stop blaming the ump. He's dealing and the cubs are flailing

 

There have been easily 6 called strikes that were just not, and identical pitches the next inning get called balls. Kluber is pitching well but the zone has been inconsistent

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I thought for a second he missed that call too

[Cubswin11]

I'd like to see an overlay of some of those pitches by Lester vs Napoli there vs some of these Kluber 2-seamers

[USSoccer]

Come on Lester

[Ding Dong Johnson]

JFC, Jon

[LeonDurham]

He's got to throw it. Even if he throws it into the stands.

[Ski]

Lester needs some therapy over the offseason, but he's still amazeballs.

[USSoccer]

Javytag

[Ding Dong Johnson]

horsefeathers off, Indians, but mostly horsefeathers off, Smoltz

[DurbanJer]

sit your punk us down

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Glove string got the forearm

[weis21]

got him on the elbow

[DurbanJer]

he got him

[Ski]

Out.

 

You see his uniform ripple on contact.

[Irrelevant Dude]

His jersey moved. Pretty clear Joe.

[weis21]

been a strike all night for kluber

[gobigred]

close enough

[NotSoSober]

This strike zone is horsefeathering horrible

[USSoccer]

What a garbage strike zone.
