4/7 cubs (darvix) at brewers (davies) 3:05 cdt fs1/abc7

That strike zone against Caratini was an abomination.

 

The technology supposedly isn’t ready for robot umps but it can’t be worse than this.

Yu is awesome

I'm just constantly shouting "no" at my tv these days watching umpires

 

The addition of the strike zone to broadcasts made us all realize how bad umpires really are. I found myself a lot more critical of umpires lately and that has to play a big part of it.

2 swings, 3 outs.

You can't really be upset about stuff like that when you're facing pitchers the caliber of Oliver Drake.

I don't know about that. The HD broadcast and better camera angles helped a lot and made it easier to conceptualize the strike zone. The addition of a strike zone graphic helped, but I can determine whether a pitch was a strike or a ball without it the majority of the time.

look how nonplussed david is about early regular season baseball

[Regular Show]

I think we've always known umpires were shitty... I've met older baseball fans that told me stories about petty umpires who held grudges against certain pitchers and players. I remember when I was little my older brother and his friends would tell me stories about how Maddux and Glavine would take advantage of umpires and kept getting strike calls on pitches clearly off the plate.

 

That's my biggest complaint with baseball -- the lack of an automated strike zone. horsefeathers all this noise about speeding up the game and those stupid ideas to end the game earlier if it goes into extra innings.

Happ is Iowa bound

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Get him in Willson

 

Edit: I’m dumb, Schwarber

Bryant is just gonna have to win this by himself while injuring the Brewers big FA signing in the process

[bcl412]

My confidence that we will score is low

[Cubswin11]

No Zobrist here seems odd. I like having faith in Schwarbs and letting him grow but not the optimal move, imo

[SouthSideRyan]

Steal home KB

[NotSoSober]

Should have probably used Zobrist there, but I love me some Schwarber so whatever

[Brian]

Zobrist will bat for Tommy after this pitch around

[Brian]

or not

[NotSoSober]

God damnit

[Andy]

How in the name of hell does he break his bat and not dump it in into shallow left like every time that sort of contact is ever made

[Cubswin11]

I thought that was dropping for sure, how did that ball carry so far??? We hit rockets and they only go to the warning track and then our broken bat balls fall only 20 feet short of the track.

[Gilby]

When does Bryant get to bat again

[Regular Show]

That would've been awesome if he lost the ball and it hit him right in the face. I hate Braun so damn much...

[Cubswin11]

What the hell Heyward

[Brian]

did he feel bad for Cain

[Andy]

Good lord, everything is terrible
