9/21 - Pirates (Oviedo) vs Cubs (Hendricks): 6:40pm, Marquee

[Derwood]

Neither strike 1 nor strike 3 to Seiya were actually strikes

[UMFan83]

lol Seiya strikes out on ball 4 and would have brought up the tying run

[s2obed]

Just awful ump. Dansby wants us to hate him a little bit less tonight.

Hardass David Ross thinks whatever he's going to do the rest of this game is more important than going out and punching the ump in the face

Clearly a marlins fan

[chibears55]

Swanson would of won the game..lol

[Irrelevant Dude]

That pitch changed the entire inning. Awful.

[squally1313]

I've 'officially' turned this game off like 6 times. Such a dumb sport. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Might not even get 81 wins. This has been a very sad couple of weeks.

4th straight series loss after losing just 1 of our previous 15 series

[JHBulls]

Tough, tough loss.

"With 9 to play, they're right in it."

I suppose that is technically true, but it sure doesn't feel like it.

This team is done barring a drastic turnaround. They also only hold a tiebreaker over the Giants. Dbacks, Marlins, and Reds will get in even if they end up tied at the end for WC3.

[s2obed]

Taillon tomorrow 🤮

[Brian707]

Well it was a fun season. Still hope if the Marlins and Reds collapse too but still sucks to watch this team fall off the last two weeks

Ross didn’t argue at all I’m guessing??

It's pretty pointless arguing balls and strikes. As much as I would have loved to see him blow his lid on that umpire, what does it actually accomplish?

[UMFan83]

Good news, Jamison Taillon is on the bump tomorrow

[17 Seconds]

this is as bad as 04

Maybe light a fire under this team?

[UMFan83]

GR was right about David Ross

they're motivated, the roster just isn't that good

So Morel would have come up and swung harder?  It's the bottom of the 9th of a close game in a playoff race. I don't think "lighting a fire" is a real thing in that situation.

Cubs scored 27 runs this series and went 1-2
