Quintana was pretty hard done there, juiced ball pop up home run and then a foul ball comes around to score on a poor route from happ

 

How long until we stop making excuses for pitchers and say it’s the ball when they give up homers that barely get out? It’s the same for every team every day and it’s been like this for a couple years now. It’s just the ball at this point. It’s not like the wind which varies day by day.

 

Not complaining about you specifically but just a general statement about the ball in general.

Cubs suck. Maddon sucks. Theo sucks. Window officially closed. Doomed forever.

 

I mean to be fair he completely horsefeathers up that inning.

 

For sure. It was horsefeathering stupid. Chatwood and who knows coming up. Q was fine and gave up a pop-up homer and then a run scored because an ump and Ian Happ are both blind. Horrible decision.

When it's the ball and wind working in tandem, it's incredibly frustrating. Before a juiced ball there was already somewhat of a thin line between lucky homer and lazy fly out. Add in a juiced ball and now stupid horsefeathers is happening way too much. Bryce Harper literally threw his bat down in frustration on a homer with the wind blowing out last year.

I was out during the foul double. Why wasn’t it reviewed and overturned?

 

Non-reviewable, they said.

 

Fwiw, I'm guessing it would've been one of those that stayed the same as the original call regardless.

How dumb.

I've always backed Joe, and think he's definitely got that hidden value over 162 games.

 

But jesus tapdancing horsefeathers has he been dumb lately with how he's handled the pitching staff.

Umm, was that Wilson coming in? He looked about 60 lbs heavier than normal

 

Depression eating. We're all going to end up joining him.
