HEY UMP:

 

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I give Lackey one pitch before he gives that run right back.

 

Would have enjoyed a few more right there, but it didn't happen and we must move on.

[Sammy Sofa]

Odds seem pretty good that gross, sweaty Lackey gives that right back via an Abreu dong.

[David]

Bryant's really not helping the weird "he sucks in HL spots" so far argument today.

 

not really sure that would qualify as a high leverage spot

 

however, it was a RISP spot, in which he has a 131 wrc+ for his career and a .368 woba

 

not that these splits aren't all stupid anyway

[JonJayCutler]

Good job slothey

[David]

what if willson is a superstar now, schwarber has a little more babip luck to go with the rest of his improved performance since his return, and heyward keeps up his second half play

 

oh and we get verlander

[Cubswin11]

What a BS 2-1 call

[Derwood]

what if willson is a superstar now

 

He is

 

schwarber has a little more babip luck to go with the rest of his improved performance since his return

 

Not hitting right into the shift all the time would help

 

and heyward keeps up his second half play

 

Yes please

 

oh and we get verlander

 

I mean, maybe, even though he's been sorta bad all year so....

[UMFan83]

This feels like the late innings yesterday with the 2 on 0 out situations.

[Derwood]

Jesus, this zone

[JonJayCutler]

8 runners allowed, 8 strikeouts in 3 IP for Rodon.

[Sammy Sofa]

Jesus, he somehow called one even worse than that strike 3 to Rizzo.

[Cubswin11]

KB's un-clutchness is really rubbing off on everyone, other than Willy, even the UMP is sucking with RISP

[David]

our hitting today has been weird

 

either complete overmatched looking or BP looking (and obligatory terrible umpiring)

[David]

crowd doesn't know the infield fly rule lol

[Ding Dong Johnson]

KB should hit his own face on the video board now

[Derwood]

Wow, is that the first time KB has ever been tossed?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

or get the boot...

[Sammy Sofa]

Holy hell, this ump.

[UMFan83]

This might be the worst strike zone I've ever seen. I'm not even kidding.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

holy horsefeathers, that was a bad call

[David]

if you're tossing kris bryant, maybe you are a huge jackass

[UMFan83]

[Sammy Sofa]

DONG IN HIS MEMORY, RIZZO.
