Well, Lucas had him struck out.

Should have been strike 3

This is bull ?that’s a strike

This ump blows.  

Let's get some runs! This ain't over!

This is the 3-2 walk to Rizzo. Looks like 4 good calls to me.

Gameday had pitch #2 having the entire plate. 

2 different zones but great bounce back by GIO

It was a ball in real time 

I sense that Cub fans have gotten ho-hum since 2016. Not the same mystique.

Trust me, I would like nothing more than saying umpire is completely screwing the Sox. In that inning, he didn’t. Ump also seems to be very influenced by the framing.

Yep. I blame McCann on that pitch call to guve up the runs, not having the bases loaded in the 1st place.

Lucas has fallen victim to the long ball in 1st innings often it feels, then he goes shut down mode. 

 

Let's hope.

I actually didn't mind him walking Rizzo.

I had a huge problem with the pitch selection to Baez and Contreras. 

Giolito never got that call. Wtf? Don't tell me there isn't 2 different zones.

haha another bad strike call

Fuck this ump

Lester got one way way low, it amazes me how Cubs get every break at home against Sox

He’s awful

Ruined the entire AB

Why is this ump so bad right now

The ball was tailing away, and McCann had set up inside. Maybe that caught a bit of the plate, but I'm not putting a grand slam on the ump for this call, cmon.

Rizzo was fine. Not getting Baez out was not.

Ricky needs to get tossed tonight.  Warned you guys last night Lester would get his way with the umpires

These umps are a steaming pile of ?. Embarrassing.

I'm hoping JP actually analyzes the game moreso with his head than his heart. So far, he hasn't (I get it cause it's Giolito).

Agreed. The pitch selection to both Baez and Contreras was bad. 

That's a very crappy trio of ABs by the top of the order, so much for turning the line up over in the 2nd. 

Really hate having Tim Anderson hitting 2nd, he doesn't belong there.
