    Dempster pitched well that inning, all 3 runs are unearned. Yahoo has one of the runs being earned. I thought it was, but Len said all 3 coming in from the break. Because the error doesn't assume the second out would have occurred, it puts the runner at third and first with 2 outs. he winds up being an earned run
  2. Careless
    Well that was absolutely destroyed

    I want to see Kosuke's translator ejected
  4. Careless
    Mass ejection time!

    Pretty weird seeing pro-reds ads on the board behind home. I'm willing to bet that most of the people who see that are rooting against the Reds

    None of that was Dempster's fault except the walk. True - Fontenot botched the DP that should have negated the scenario in the first place. But he didn't walk in a run with one of the league's most impatient hitters at the plate. Come on. It should have been 3 up 3 down. The 2 hits were soft infield ground balls. with the shift and theriot being the one to get the ball, Griffey would have gotten on
  8. Careless
    That last hit would have been reasonably hard (and caught) if it hadn't broken his bat
  9. Careless
    what a horrible inning
  10. Careless
    It was in the middle of the plate but slightly low
  11. Careless
    Kept that ball out of the outfield man. but what was the point of the toss to derosa like that?
  12. Careless
    what on earth was theriot trying to do?
  13. Careless
    Guy's only thrown 3 or 4 legitimate strikes
  14. Careless
    Lee and theriot would make an amusing tag-team beating this ump.
  15. Careless
    Couple of generous strikes on theriot. And it was inside
  16. Careless
    isn't it a good sign that we're still outscoring our opponents even when we lose? it should indicate we're just not catching breaks. Or, possibly, that our "good" bullpen members are bad.

    KZone had them as strikes. this just in, k zone is wrong a lot Yeah, you probably had a better vantage point than the home plate umpire and ESPN's pitch tracker. They were borderline but they weren't crap calls. They were terrible. The fact that umpires aren't willing to adjust the zone as the rules say they must doesn't make it ok, it means umpires suck at their jobs. No. It means that many fans overreact to pretty much anything that goes against their teams and will place blame on virtually anyone. Actually, I say this as a tall guy, not a Cubs fan. Umpires are totally incapable, for whatever reason, of adjusting their zone as they are required to in order to deal with the heights and dimensions of the batter Yeah. Because MLB just decided to skip over the "adjusting the zone based on a player's height" chapter in umpire school. That sure sounds realistic. It's almost like they don't fire umps for calling balls and strikes badly.

No one's eyes are qualified to tell the relative location of a pitch to within inches when looking from a funny angle, compressing a 3-D image into 2-D. And how is that relevant? Do you want to bet that pitches 2" lower on people 6" shorter were routinely called strikes?

    KZone had them as strikes. As I said before, who are we going to believe? An objective system or the partisan eyes of fans watching from a skewed camera angle. I'll go with "whichever knows that Lee isn't a 5'9" man with little shins
  22. Careless
    Kzone thinks that Lee is 5'9"
  23. Careless
    I can't believe people booed that no-swing call
  24. Careless
    remember when we pulled the 1 in 100 of not scoring any runs in that situation 4 times in a row? edit: screwed the number up by a ridiculous degree
  25. Careless
    yes
