8/24 Cubs (Mills) vs Reds (Harvey): 1:20 PM on NBC Sports Chicago

[Old Style]

How the horsefeathers was that a strike?????????????????

[Sammy Sofa]

Fire this ump into a horsefeathering wormhole.

[soccer10k]

Ump just killed that PA.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I'm absolutely furious.

[UMFan83]

Probably the most important pitch of the inning and its completely botched Edited August 24, 2018 by UMFan83

That’s all on the horsefeathering ump. If we had any bench players Zo would’ve lost it.

[Derwood]

Brutal

[Sammy Sofa]

The conspiracy side of me says this scum ump did it on purpose because of what Zobrist said, but it's far more likely that he's just horsefeathers at his job like all umps.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I don't need the ump to tell us he was wrong. I need him to go through his thought process and what made him be wrong in the first place. That was just as bad as the Nathan strike to Zobrist back in the day.

[BigSlick]

god damnit

[soccer10k]

Schwarber just missed that one.

[soccer10k]

So will Happ strikeout swinging or looking?

[UMFan83]

I do like seeing Schwarber try to go oppo into the wind a couple of times today

[Sammy Sofa]

Teams don't even give a horsefeathers if Schwarber faces a RH pitcher at this point.

[UMFan83]

Is it a rule that every Happ AB has to start out 0-2?

Is it a rule that every Happ AB has to start out 0-2?

 

Just got off the phone with Rob Manfred

 

He said "Yes, it is a rule."

[BigSlick]

this game, and by extension all of baseball, is dumb as hell

[soccer10k]

Ian should spend the offseason learning how to make contact with the ball.

[BigSlick]

Almora, Schwarber, Contreras and Happ have all been god awful for more than a month now. Add that to the badness of Russell and Heyward and this team has been saddled with a whooooole lot of dead weight for a while

[soccer10k]

Nice job, Chavez.

 

Win now, Cubs.

[Sammy Sofa]

End this turgid slog.

[Brian]

walk this bitch off right now

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Will any of these guys in the lower part of the order even touch this guy?

[TMan92]

We foul off every hittable looking pitch

[TMan92]

Why???????????
