5-22 AZ @ Cubs (maybe win for change?)

[PackLandVA]

Cubs have alternated losing and winning on Sundays this season so far. They won last Sunday. Oh well.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

2 strikeouts looking on clear balls against the Cubs. This time with the bases loaded.

[PackLandVA]

Cubs getting jobbed with some "called third strikes" so far. Seiya in the 1st, and now Rivas in the second with bases loaded and no outs.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

PJ Higgins delivers with the bases loaded and 2 out providing a 3 run triple!

[PackLandVA]

PJ triple - whoodu thunk.

And that's after this yesterday

could just be confirmation bias but it seems like we've had several close games where the umpire has decided it based on this twitter account.

Yeah I've seen at least two one-run losses where this says the ump favored the other team by more than a run

 

It feels like some guys just routinely get screwed. Schwarber back in the day, and Wisdom and Seiya from the current crew. I'm not sure what it is. Like Aaron Judge gets a lot of bad calls because he's a giant, but Sieya and Wisdom are normal human sized.

Ortega running in quicksand on that flyball

[Bertz]

I was like 95% sure I wanted the pitch clock and then I saw a couple Wade Miley starts and now I'm 200% sure

[We Got The Whole 9]

Doing that thing again where they score early and then do jack horsefeathers for 5 innings

[UMFan83]

Another blown 3+ run lead

[Andy]

Well Simmons is terrible

[Irrelevant Dude]

Well Simmons is terrible

Did anyone ever think otherwise?

[PackLandVA]

Well Simmons is terrible

 

Is he able to hit the ball out of the infield? On a fly, I mean.

[Andy]

Short bench or not, it's completely stupid that Ross pissed away what might be our best chance to score by sending up Ortega against a lefty

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Great job by Simmons to swing at a 1-0 pitch after back to back walks for a double play.

[Andy]

Well Simmons is terrible

Did anyone ever think otherwise?

The guy who gave him $4 million seemed like he did

[PackLandVA]

Lot of soft contact generating good results for the DBacks today it seems.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

So our good pitchers are going to finally give up runs in games we are tied or winning?

[We Got The Whole 9]

Shwisdom back to back again

[d_money]

Shwisdom back to back again

The Bash Brothers

[UMFan83]

Schwisdom Souviner Company does not sound nearly as good

[Bertz]

Credit where it's due, that was a really nifty play by Simmons

[itisallpartoftheplan]

We did it!!
