8/10 Nationals (Hellickson) @ Cubs (Hendricks), 1:20 PM CDT NBC Sports Chicago, MLBN

Greg Holland. LOL at the Nats signing him, let along pitching him in this situation

[David]

Make up call?

[Bertz]

Wow

 

That was absolutely Ball 4, but on a 3-0 count a ball that close is always called a strike

When Holland came in, I thought there must be another one because Dave Martinez can’t be that stupid

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Great job by the ump not calling the token strike 1.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Javy is totally swinging at the first pitch, right?

[Cubswin11]

Greg Holland, somehow Greg holland

[UMFan83]

Great job by the ump not calling the token strike 1.

 

I too am still scarred from last weekend's awful umpiring.

[Cubswin11]

Make up call?

That was a ball. But usually called a strike on the umps stupid 3-0 count zones

[Sammy Sofa]

I just got home to a sex, sexy Rizzo walk for the lead. Nice.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I had no idea Greg Holland had started this inning. No wonder we suddenly looked like the 27 Yankees.

 

More Holland, please.

[NotSoSober]

sutcliffe is there? Pretty interesting move coming a week after his Darvish comments

That was AROD

He went in on Yu on the radio the week going in to the A-Rod game. Jesse Rogers says Sutcliffs is a “high level cubs employee” though so he knows what’s what.....

Didn't hear about that. Is there a link to what he said?

[Brian]

Nats trying to out Cub the Cubs

[TMan92]

We should be up three runs by now. Stay within yourself Javy.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Holland got released when we had 6 games left with St. Louis. That sucked.

 

Then he signed with a team we had 7 games left with!

From what I remember, Sutcliffe was on Waddle & Silvy show and stated something to the effect that agreed with AROD and something about Yu not signing autographs for disabled kids during spring training. He has since tried to "clarify" himself.

Now Baez; I know you're this weird ass team's one true dong lord, but remember that real, actual walk you took earlier? I'm not saying you HAVE to do it again....but don't be opposed to it if it presents itself.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Go for the bunt, Javy.

[UMFan83]

More Holland, please.

 

I had no idea the Nats picked him up. What a pleasant surprise

[Brian]

your first major league appearance of the year is against 2018 Javy Baez with the bases loaded, ouch.

[BigSlick]

In the 2 At-bats i've witnessed, Javy has shown remarkable restraint in a big situation

[David]

Make up call?

That was a ball. But usually called a strike on the umps stupid 3-0 count zones

 

Ah. I'm just going off what coomer is saying

[BigSlick]

ah well

[stitchface]

We should be up three runs by now. Stay within yourself Javy.

 

 

not sure what that means with him . . . though that was not what we were looking for
