QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Nov 2, 2016 -> 07:16 PM) I never understood why all the K zones that are put up have the top of the strike zone at the belt of a player. Is it not chest to knees anymore? Only in the rulebook.

Imagine if the strikezone prescribed by the rules actually existed outside of a rule book.

The only thing to worry about is some sort of over reaction by JR. Maybe the selling of cost controlled assets on a player or two for a foolish run at nothing.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 1, 2016 -> 08:28 PM) Yeah, I f***ing understand how baseball is played. If you were watching the game, you'd know that Chisenhall was basically walking under it while Naquin is running up and has to dive to get it. Now after the two of us have just let a 2-run double fall in between us, you can be damned sure you are going to have to plow me out of the way if I am Chisenhall on that ball.I don't give a f*** what you call. The CF shouldnt of called him off. However you have communication and priority calls for a reason. You hear the CF calling ball, ball ball or mine you back off. The minute you decide f*** it I am not doing that is the minute a horrific collision is going to take place. The problem here was the CF, he shouldnt of made that call. If you call for the ball and call another fielder off you better f***ing catch the ball. Chisenhall is not some superior defender out in RF that he can ignore priority calls.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 1, 2016 -> 08:03 PM) Hah. Dude he was calling a ball he had no business calling. Besides, they were both calling it. Rewind. CF has priority over RF. If CF called it then its his ball. Now was it smart for him to call it when the RF is camped under it. No. But all things being equal when the CF calls for it, its his.

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Oct 30, 2016 -> 10:56 PM) I'm still not feeling great about this series after this game if I'm a Cubs fan. They barely skated by with home field, most lopsided pitching matchup of the series, had to use their closer for 3 innings, and played perfect defense. First of all to be a true cub fan you must suspend the laws of logic and common sense. Their fan base is looking at their blue wrist bands and think this is a given.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 30, 2016 -> 10:49 PM) I knew this would happen. Game 6 momentum? Cubs. Game 6 pitching advantage? Cubs. The beast that is Kyle Schwarber for 4+ PAs? Cubs. Game 7 is a happening. Well played troll, well played.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 30, 2016 -> 10:19 PM) Don't see that 1-0 pitch called a strike very often He wants to make sure he gets a good seat for Go Cubs Go after the game. What a pile of s*** strikezone.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 30, 2016 -> 09:57 PM) His foot was fine pure BS by Fowler. All we needed is the stretcher taking him off the pitch and then the miraculous recovery to make it soccer.

So sick of the parade of celebrities doing their best to one up the last drunken guy to step up and sing a song.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Oct 30, 2016 -> 08:52 PM) 2 pitches during that Guyer AB were balls that were called strikes. The plate umpiring this series as been special.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 29, 2016 -> 08:40 PM) Lindor let the ball play him. He played that pretty well. Just didnt have his glove down enough.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 29, 2016 -> 07:56 PM) A lot of missed calls Well look at the umpire crew. The MLB needs to do a better job and reward the best umps instead of doing whatever it is that they do to determine the playoff assignments. No way Laz Diaz, Angel Hernandez, Joe West plus more are umping the playoffs.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 29, 2016 -> 07:54 PM) Cubs fans are going to love that contract of Heyward's going forward, what a buster. They are getting the red sox complex going. Oh this expensive player isnt going to work, well lets see if we can trade him for something allstar capable and cost controlled because it works in my video game. I heard today well they could flip Heyward and a minor leaguer for Sale. I told that person to stop doing drugs. Its bad.

One of the mathletes that they interviewed in their cubs pajamas was asked if its time to panic. He said, well its only 2-1 so if they win say 1 or 2 more games then we might need to panic a bit.

Chompers doesnt look like he has his control today.

The idiots threw the ball back of course. Hope it was the world series souvenir one.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 28, 2016 -> 09:49 PM) What in the hell is Chisenhall doing this series Making Schwarber look competent in the OF.

How is this man, Laz Diaz, Joe West and Angel all umpiring the most important games of the season in the playoffs.

Right down the cock fastball called a ball.

Well he is getting Greg Maddux's one to two balls off the plate without the same pedigree. If he catches it its an out.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 27, 2016 -> 04:33 PM) Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 15m15 minutes ago Kyle Schwarber not cleared to play outfield, after doctors reviewed situation. "Just too much risk," Theo Epstein said. Thats too bad. Watching him attempting to catch the ball when he is healthy is comedy. Just imagine the in the park homers that he is saving by not playing the field.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 27, 2016 -> 03:27 PM) It's amazing to me that this trade did not cause any of our front office seats to warm but Reinsdorf has such PTSD over Jaime Navarro. Because our front office bases this on memories of the former good player. We figure we can dumpster dive and get lightning in a bottle. Member when James Shields was good. I memba. Memba the 1990s Indians. Memba Griffey Jr.

Some difficulty in RF with fielding the ball. First he cant hit the cut, now he cant keep his feet on the ground.

I wonder what was on Mr Grimms arm.
