Lol just saw Boyd challenged a pitch on the first batter of the game. WTF are you doing that for?

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! 

He deserves to be on the team but he’s 100% a moron.

Very nice PA by Mo against a tough lefty.

That was a level of selfishness you never see in pro sports 

[Irrelevant Dude]

In limited opportunities, Ballesteros hangs in there nicely against lefties.

To be clear, are you saying if a player challenges a pitch and is wrong that makes him selfish? Because that is all Boyd did. Again. Huge overreaction. Boyd is actually one of the best guys in the team. You are talking out of anger and being ridiculous. As I said, he made a mistake. He knew it right away. Doesn’t make him selfish or a moron.

Need to get a couple this inning 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Not saying we had the game in the bag but man am I mad at Counsell. Just a completely unforced error. I dont care about the health of the remaining pitchers. We had a lead and Boyd largely sucked tonight as he has this season. He should not have come back out for the 5th.

I cant believe Ty France stole a base on us. 4 career steals.

Bad Nico

[JHBulls]

PCA just said “Yep, I am running to third. I am gone. Goodbye.”

I understand I just sounded like Sut, they might or might not have been my intention. 

[Irrelevant Dude]

I don't know if I have ever seen that before.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Kelly should be taking this AB

[mk49]

Good job, PCA and Nico.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Asleep at the wheel tonight 

[abuck1220]

don’t know if I’ve seen a game so obviously decided by how good the teams are at challenges 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Too bad Michael Busch couldn't have run to first to draw a throw.

[UMFan83]

This by far is the most I’ve seen ABS affect a game.  With Miller looming that’s horrifically bad luck to get rung up on that

And the Cubs came into tonight tied for first with a 63% success rate. Totally blew this one so far.

I agree Brown should have started the inning. Bad call. Pen is stretched, but Brown is rested. Why not let him give you 3 innings. All right handed Bats were coming up.

This umpire is a joke

Given the spot in the game, him making that challenge was absolutely selfish and absolutely makes him a moron. I would be livid if I was Brown or any of the fielders he screwed tonight. 

[UMFan83]

The ABS thing is secretly helpful for the umpires. Normally you can just blame the game on the umpire for the non-strike call in the 5th but instead people will just be mad that we used our challenges up early. 

[UMFan83]

Mason Miller is 3 outs away

[Irrelevant Dude]

I can't quite get used to a tiny sliver of the ball in the zone on the corner being called a strike.  Those pitches always look out of the zone.
