Constantly pinch hitting for him against lefties is the surest way to make sure he never gets better against lefties.

It’s obviously a disease process to be a fan of this team.  Because no sane person would subject themselves to this pile of turds on purpose. 

I blame my dad for being a Cardinal's fan. 🤮

End the horsefeathers nonsense and get some runs

[Andy]

2 baseballs out of the zone to Seiya, ring him up

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Cool strike zone.

[Max Power]

JFC. Get thrown out just to prove you have a pulse.

[Hortonhearsawho]

I know it's meaningless but I wouldn't have hated Counsell getting himself tossed out of the game after that strike out. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Thanks you blind horsefeathers

[chopsx9]

How long before a player gets tossed on a strike call like that for tapping their helmet.

 

[Soul]

How in the hell do you keep your job after that SO call?

[Derwood]

Very few games this year where “this ump sucks” didn’t come out of my mouth. 

[Cubbies1996]

For ONCE stand up for your players, Craig. 

[UMFan83]

For anyone not watching this was strike 3 to Seiya

That would require him to have a pulse. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Tucker with a sub-200 avg and a .060 ISO over the last 30 games. This is unfathomable.

Yeah....

[Soul]

At least allow challenges on strike 3 calls like that.

[UMFan83]

Wow that was horsefeathers awful

[Andy]

Why the hell didn't PCA swing at that pitch right down the middle with Happ running

[DYMNO]

I think I may actually hate this team. 

[Soul]

[We Got The Whole 9]

Omg maybe 2 years ago, Ian. For you to do that with the only guy hitting today is absolutely insane.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Ian Happ's slow, fat ass trying to steal, lol.
