I ask everyone else watching...am I the only one who's wondering what the heck happened to this ump's strike zone? He started out the day with one the size of Texas, and now it's the size of a teacup. I hate this crew.
I'm a nice and happy person in my life. I do my best to be a good guy to other people and remain calm about matters. However, the Cubs somehow manage to turn me into a frothing lunatic. I don't get it sometimes. Way to get out of the inning guys!
You just know a grand slam here is coming. By the way, the number of HRs gives up and propensity to lose control, thereby giving up his share of WPs, HBPs, and BBs, makes me think that middle relief would not be the best place to put him.
What was? (I'm not watching the game) Burn hit a chopper to the 2B, who made a diving stop. Barrett had pretty much conceded the force at this point and slowed up. However, the 2B decided to have a sense of urgency and tried to flip the ball to the SS straight frmo his glove...only it went over the SS's head. All hands were safe.
