Looks like Edmonds doesn't enjoy strikes being called strikes.

Thanks, but we suck right now.

 

I'm depressed.

I was kidding. You get no sympathy from me.

 

I'm sure that receiving false sympathy from a random Cubs fan on an Internet message board has ruined your day, and for that I apologize. You have my sympathy.

Steve Lyons, man paid to talk about baseball games: "The Astros have this game set up just the way they want it."

 

Steve, I'm no color analyst, but I think Astros might want to be winning instead of tied.

that bee sound is really starting to piss me off

Looks like it got to LaRussa too.

That strike zone has been equally big for both teams, I still have no idea why adjusted the zone in '88. It si typically much more square than it should be. Of course, Larussa was thrown out on a pitch that was a ball.

[UK1679666180]

Grudzielanek decides to show up, he presses almost as much as Patterson when he struggles.

[CardsFanInChiTown]

nice bunt. why are we playing for the tie in away game anyway?

[UK1679666180]

Marquis isn't in this game mentally. Between losing his composure last inning and being the best hitting pitcher in MLB and not being able to bunt the runner over.

[abuck1220]

i would have really enjoyed seeing eckstein roll into a nice 6-4-3 after the announcers got down falling all over themselves about how he doesn't strike out.

 

larussa w/ some questionable calls this game. too bad they can't squeeze right here so everyone can call him a genius.

[abuck1220]

nice job, idiot.

[CardsFanInChiTown]

this game is dumb

[CubmanPi]

After that 3-1 to Edmonds, I don't think the Cards are just being whiney - I think they have legitimate beef with the K zone.

[Mizzou]

That was a strike on Edmonds?! And the ump then tosses him?!

 

Wow, there has been some pathetic umpiring in the last week.

[UK1679666180]

That was a horrible to call to say he went around and to throw him out for simply arguing.

[CubmanPi]

now a pinch hitter enters with full count and two out

[abuck1220]

why is brennaman sticking up for edmonds? you know damn well you can't argue balls and strikes, does the rule change because it's the 8th inning of game 4 and you're jim edmonds?

[CardsFanInChiTown]

this strike zone is crazy

[CubmanPi]

That was a horrible to call to say he went around and to throw him out for simply arguing.

he went around, but i think commentators were right - it was a called strike, not a swinging strike. Usually the ump will point at the batter on a swing and a miss.

[abuck1220]

That was a horrible to call to say he went around and to throw him out for simply arguing.

 

he stepped out of the box, went behind the catcher and had an extended argument w/ the ump.

 

it was a bad call, but edmonds should know better. nobody's going to bend the rules for him.

[sethuel1]

the bottom line is that it's dumb to call the ump a f---head, which is what I read on Edmonds' lips when he got rung.
