They did. He pinch ran for Soler after he walked last inning OOps. Can I still blame FOX even though I didn't notice? Personally, I'd blame your user name.
What I learned from this game is that we're not ready for robot umps. The strike/ball graphs I'm seeing on top of the K zone from Fox last night tell me that the technology isn't good enough yet to be reliable. The overhead camera shots that Fox was showing that clearly indicated pitches weren't in the zone and were called strikes aren't coming up any differently in the data sets. Maybe more consistently incorrect, but certainly not any more accurate than the umps are.
Issue: Lester gets borderline (very close) call Kluber gets call 4 inches outside to whiff Bryant Same? http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/soccer10k/Bryant.png Which one was called 4 inches outside? Strikes 2 and 5 were both swung at. If that's from the AB in the first, it's just wrong.
Man, I really think that early bad strike to Bryant messed them up. That hurts a team like the Cubs a lot as disciplined as they are. Forced them to expand the zone early and they've just struggled. Kluber has been fantastic, but not quite as good as the numbers look.
Murphy's has made it clear that they are not charging a cover, FWIW. But I did hear the Cubby Bear was charging a $100 cover last Saturday. That's not the info I'm getting. My dad actually called Murphy's and they said no cover as of now, but not out of the question. My cousin has also heard they're one of the bars planning to charge a cover for sure.
If you guys haven't heard, I'm being told some places are talking about $80-100 cover charges and $15 12 oz beers in Wrigleyville. Assholes. I understand wanting to make money, but damn, that's ridiculous.
I'm wondering this as well. Any suggestions from locals as to a good location? Is anyone planning on meeting anywhere? I'll be in town by around 1:00 or so Saturday and will be ready for whatever at that point.
