Cubs (Boyd) vs Padres (Vasquez): 4/27/26, 8:40pm

[Irrelevant Dude]

I wonder what a conversation with Sutcliffe is like after he just finished watching a movie. 

"And that part where Obi-Wan says, 'I have the high ground.' Outstanding.  Just outstanding.  I have seen a lot of films and I'm not sure I've ever experienced a scene written so perfectly.  That just shows you why George Lucas is the absolute best in the business."

Pitch right down middle 

Boog: no argument from him.  Lol

[We Got The Whole 9]

I dont think Boyd should pitch this inning

[chibears55]

Why did Boyd start the inning 

[We Got The Whole 9]

That was horsefeathers dumb letting him face Machado. He doesn't have it right now.

our bullpen is hanging on by a thread and this is the fifth inning of game one of the series. there's not a lot of good options here. desperately need the day off on thursday (and some pitchers getting healthy and effective)

And if you’re going to yank him after giving up a hit, just bring in a righty to face Machado.

[Irrelevant Dude]

I had a dream last night that I was playing baseball and kept getting thrown out on the bases because I was running ridiculously slow. 

Manny Machado is running about as well as I did in that dream.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Absolutely hosed by the umpire

[soccer10k]

They just said the Cubs made mistakes with the challenges earlier. What happened?

[Gjfificifjdej]

Boyd out of the game and hes still hurting the team. What an utter moron. 

[PeanutPunch33]

heck of a pitch by Brown, got screwed by the ump

Boyd  himself challenged a pitch in the 1st inning that wasn't close.

[Irrelevant Dude]

I hate that umpires are taken off the hook because of a half-baked challenge system.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Are we out of challenges??

Mo’s challenge also wasn’t close really. 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Dumb, dumb, dumb.

[Gjfificifjdej]

Leave Boyds stupid ass in California. Unbelievably,,unspeakably dumb human being. 

[Hortonhearsawho]

Yeah they need to go to a fully automated strike zone because that was a terrible miss.

[UMFan83]

Death by 1000 cuts

[PeanutPunch33]

at least Brown looks good again 

[UMFan83]

This is on pace to be well over 3.5 hours long

Its a non issue if our starter had even a room temperature iq.

My hope is that MLB going to make small tweaks to the zone (size/positioning) over a period of time and then implement a fully automated system once they are 100% comfortable with where things are at.

Dude, he made a mistake. He knew it as soon as he asked for the challenge. Doesn’t make him a moron unworthy of being on the teams. Relax!
