GJ Demp, he's recovered nicely.
-
The corner is gone again.
-
Chances we instantly give the lead back? :P
-
Clutch Lee, very clutch.
-
In general, Fuku seems to have pitches called strikes on the outside that I see no other hitter in baseball get called on.
-
Well the outside corner is back; I hope it stays that way.
-
Good AB Demp.
-
So bad that it worked out, GJ I guess.
-
So help me god Miles, if you don't make yourself useful and get this run in....
-
Come on ump....
-
More and more it looks like starting pitching is more of an issue than bullpen or various slumping players. Haven't had a decent start for a while now.
-
The only point I am trying to make is that we are not qualified, from this perspective to determine if an umpire if failing. If it was a safe/out call then fine, you can see that. With calling balls and strikes, you can't tell from TV. Everybody who watches baseball thinks they are a qualified evaluator of umpires, most are not. You are a teacher also, what do you think when parents, or anyone outside of your profession tries to evaluate your skills? Using your teaching analogy, would you be OK with two kids in the same class having completely different grading scales? What we're seeing is two different strike zones. What is being called a strike for the Cards is not being called a strike for the Cubs.

Fuku is the man.
-
DId you not see the strikes called on Theriot and Fukudome? They were worse pitches than the pitches to the 7th and 8th hitters from Demp Thats the way the game has been for 100 years. Dempster has been a bit wild, thats all. You refuse to admit that the umpire isn't giving both teams the same strike zone, don't you? Im saying its more Dempster's fault, not the umpires. I've never understood why we're just supposed to deal with umpires making bad calls and adjust for it. When someone fails at their job you don't blame it on the person who gets hurt as a result.
-
Seriously, where is the outside corner?
-
Yet again the Cardinals get runs because of an umpire error; this is getting so old.
-
After that broken bat single I'm done for the day. Watching this is bad for my health.
-
Typical Cardinals, random unknown player becomes allstar.
-
This game went from fun to headache inducing in record time.
-
Yet another slider off the plate.
-
"Wrong" does not mean "close and not in the Cubs' favor" It doesn't matter if it's close; the wrong call is still the wrong call. If a player is out by 3 feet or an inch he's still out.
-
Seriously every time so far in this series the umps have blown a call it has cost the Cubs runs. Duncan didn't get rung up on a strike then hits a home run, the horrible call on Bradley with bases loaded, the strike out Patton should have had that resulted in two more runs and now this.
-
Congratulations Blue and DLee, Cubs are now losing.
-
seriously this is getting old.
-
He was out....
