This home plate ump is atrocious.

You do realize Russell swung?

 

 

I was referring to the ball outside that he called a strike when his zone has been inconsistently tiny all night. And Russel swing and missed at another identical pitch to make it strike 2. 2-0 vs 1-1 is a big deal. Just like it was a big deal that sogard got a pitch right down the middle called an ball right before his game tying hit.

 

Yeah JAVY!!

The first two pitches could have gone either way. One was a strike and one was a ball. Seems fair to me.

Strop is arguably a top 5 reliever in Cubs history and you see him horsefeathers on all the time. It's crazy.

 

5th year as a Cub. 5th year with a sub-3 ERA.

I don't argue facts. Can you explain why I feel uncomfortable every time he pitches? Other than the fact that I tend to be a neurotic mess when I watch the Cubs?

 

Probably because he's pitched in high leverage, tense late game situations for 5 years (and has blown a few of those games).

Well now if we lose this game, it's a little easier to swallow with the continued decimation of Milwaukee's pen.
