Len Kasper is such a turd. After Beck hit him "C'mon seriously, just throw him out"

 

Wait, he had time to discuss the game instead of music?

Should've done it with 2 outs...if the cubs score on this I swear.

that's well handled by beck and by barskdale.

 

Very underrated post regarding the ump. That's a veteran ump who knew what was going on. A young ump probably puts the warning on alot sooner.

TA benched.nice job RR.

How can you be so unendingly positive?

 

After watching asshole Lackey hit three guys, showing either poor command or poor temper, TA grounded out on the first pitch. He didn't have to do it intentionally for it to be pathetic.

 

He deserved the benching.

 

+1 Get a clue. Pitcher is on the damn ropes. He's all over the place. The bases are juiced. Unless you see 1st pitch fastball in your wheelhouse DO NOT SWING

I'm as done on the guy as anybody and I have no excuses. He just has no plan.

 

He has very little clue on the field and seems in his own head off the field. I totally get the tragedy and it sucks, but he was terrible prior to it this year.

That's how things end properly. Ump handled it right.

Don't like this Beck Baez matchup

We are into the pen in the 5th with no Swarzak. Gonna get ugly no matter what.

+1 this game has been a wash when Rodon threw 90+ in 4 innings

If they let Lackey bat again they've got to hit him

Wow he really did it. This is one of many things that sets him apart from Ventura. Very glad he did that to Anderson. He needd to learn how to be a situational hitter, and just plate awareness and to be mindful of who is pitching.

LOVE him doing that. One of the reasons I like Ricky even with all the negatives.

Glad to see he let the evening up happen without overreacting. Now you give the warnings and move on.

Are you s***ting me?

And there the home plate ump missed an easy strike three call.

Beck's slider with some bite today

Did he really? Or did he just make a double switch so he can get 2 innings out of Beck without him having to bat. Pitcher's spot due up 3rd next inning.

No its not. Sometimes its okay to watch what is going on and then have a plan.

Len Kasper is a word I can't use here. Use your imagination.

Agreed and I think he's going to get sent down. He's benched for two games due to lack of hustle and then pulled two games later. At some point, you go with the worst option

No. Robin did it too and got ripped for it. Remember when he benched Rios for jogging to first? It was called a bush league move on this very site.
