Amaya fucked up challenging that ball early. There's been 2 that have been called wrong since and they can't afford to waste the challenge now.

Ayy Romo

Is it a homer if he hits it out of the infield?

TBF, Gausman and Shota have really good splitters.

PCA's homer was the wind. Busch crushed his.

Fedde is gonna give up 5 homers tonight with the way this is playing out.

Hudson couldn't get the 2 lefties out lol

Why the hell would he even say this when he just hit 31 homers last year? Just engagement bait.

.090 xBA on that one. Wind just carried it.

Why do we even bother to pitch to him? lol

He's just cheating fastball. It's how he hit the homer last night. Guessed fastball up right and hit it hard. Unfortunately they've been throwing him nothing but off speed since.

He hit that ball hard, it was just right at the SS.

Last 2 were strikes. He wasn't throwing them for strikes earlier.

He's found the splitter against Beni

Let him off the hook

Good job laying off that splitter.

Umps will still make the strike calls. It just takes their judgement away. I don't know why umps wouldn't want that. It takes so much pressure off them. And it's honestly not fair to expect humans to read if a pitch is 0.1 inches out of the zone.

Simple solution is full ABS. Another is to give teams one challenge an inning in the last 2 or 3 innings of a game, much like how you get one in extras. That way, you get to challenge in the high leverage innings even if you blow your 2 challenges early.

Over/under on Fedde homers has to be like 2.5 with that kind of wind.

8 missed opportunities...ouch.

I don't really like our odds of winning the next 2 with the pitching matchups. But I said the same thing about the first 2 games in Detroit and we somehow pulled both of those games out. Truth is, if the offense shows up and our combination of openers and bulk relievers keep them under 4 runs, we've got a shot.

I don't really have to deal with Cubs fans since I don't live in Chicago anymore. But yeah, Cubs fans basically made me hate the Cubs.

They already used Taylor as a pinch runner, so they would have been stuck with Happ vs. a lefty. Will could have taken Hicks out since he had already faced 3 batters after the walk to Bregman.

Shoulda raved about him more to have him catch this one.

They definitely wouldn't run on Doyle.
