10/2/18 NL WILD CARD Rockies (Freeland) @ CLERBS (Lester) 7:00 CST ESPN

[Irrelevant Dude]

Guys, Lester was flat out missing; Gameday doesn't have him getting robbed at all.

He didn't throw a single strike that wasn't called, and got some outside strikes on top of it. Can't blame the ump for that run.

[UMFan83]

Let’s see some hanging sliders

[chibears55]

They aint losing this game 1 zip

 

Lets go

 

Crooked number in the 1st inning

 

Make him throw 40 pitches

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Guys, Lester was flat out missing; Gameday doesn't have him getting robbed at all.

a couple of them were maybe close enough to go either way. jon nibbles, it's what he does

[gflore34]

get out of here with one run and i'll take it for sure. sky isn't falling yet, guys

 

got to see how the offense looks first

 

 

If I'm a Cub hitter and some of those pitches that were balls in the top of the first all of sudden become strikes I'm all over the umpire. The least one can ask of any umpire is consistency.

[UMFan83]

This is the least nervous I’ve ever been for a Cubs playoff game. I was more nervous yesterday. Not sure why

My nibbla

He wasn't, but after the first run scored the ump decided to start calling everything a strike. I just want some horsefeathering consistency

And there you go the first horsefeathering pitch.

[abuck1220]

already dreading doing that thing where you’re like “ok if we can just keep the deficit at 4 we have a chance.”

[Brian]

Brewers would have had a guy behind 2nd

[UMFan83]

Yay Ben. No double plays

This is true, but is he nibbling more now out of necessity as his stuff begins to deteriorate with age? It seems like it, but could be recency bias.

[Brian]

this guys zone is interesting

[Sammy Sofa]

Cubs gonna activate dong power, like:

 

[UMFan83]

Why is ESPN so bad at accurately displaying balls and strikes?

[Jaxbro]

More like Kris Buttant

[UMFan83]

Wow he was really late on that swing

[weis21]

well at least he's already up to a dozen pitches and only a single out

[Brian]

just our MVP swinging through a fastball in the middle of the zone

[SpongeWorthy]

KIND OF AN IMPORTANT AB KRIS

[Schwarber Fan]

KB needs to just forget the 2 hand thing.

[UMFan83]

Way to make em work Anthony

[NotSoSober]

He should have just had surgery months ago. Nice AB Rizzo

[Sammy Sofa]

Nobody should be able to get away with a mistake pitch like that against Bryant. He makes me sad.
