This is all my fault because I watched Major League last night

 

But they lost the WS, as you discover in ML 2 (which sucked by comparison iirc).

I can't wait for the narratives about how Kluber has our number and so we'll need to win the 4 games he isn't starting.

 

Just like Kershaw last series.

 

Just like Bumgarner was unhittable in the playoffs.

Please show more stats about how Cleveland never loses games in these situations, FOX. Just keep beating it down like in the Giants series when you kept saying the Cubs pen didn't give up any runs to the Giants.

That's how it works when you're on a board full of people that want the Cubs to win.

 

What has happened to you? You really took that soccer comment in the Schwarber thread seriously. It's like you're being intentionally anti-Cub. It's probably not as bad as we're making it out to be with the calls....but what is your purpose of this post? Be pissed off too, this is the biggest game we've ever seen.

 

I just hate the super overreactionary stuff. It's terrible and annoying when Ski and Rondon Fan do it in the regular season and it's annoying now. I get people are frustrated. I'm frustrated also. But the posts that are suggesting the ump is singlehandedly costing the Cubs the game are ridiculous and wrong. Just because the ump blows a call or two doesn't mean that he's the worst ump ever. And just because he blows one call doesn't mean he's blowing every close pitch. You can't tell what's a strike on the screen because of the angle. People have pointed out in previous games and in this one that FOX's zone on the screen sometimes sucks (like the one where the top of the zone was clearly below the batter's belt).

 

Barely anyone has given Kluber any sort of credit for pitching a great game, which is what he's done. And barely anyone has acknowledged that Lester is a bit off tonight.

 

The problem isn't balls being called strikes for Kluber. It's balls being called strikes for Kluber, and balls in the same spot not being called strikes for Lester. Which is something you can see on the screen. And a ton of people have given Kluber credit. And literally nobody has implied that the ump is singlehandedly costing the Cubs the game.

 

This. So much this the majority of the thread is this post
