That's because of Lester not because of what those clowns are doing.

See? Missed the bottom of the zone by 3" and they got it

Horrible call.

Terrible fucking call right there

Fucking Horse Shit Call

I fully expect a DP here scoring a run, but he's the RBI king, so maybe we will get more

Time to believe, baby. He's an exceptional hitter.

omg I'm glad its not just me going crazy. Are you on MLB.tv too? I've been messing with my tv settings for 30 min trying to figure this out

They don’t have outfield lights so it is a bit darker, plus the new lights on the South Side are premium and make these look even worse.

Lester not long for this game 

terrible call but we had a couple go our way so far so it evens it out. For now.

Does Jose's stance look slightly different to anybody else? Maybe I'm imagining it

Hey, if that's what it takes for you to be a fan now without acknowledging how good he was before, sure. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Don’t worry, next slump, he never got a big hit in his life and he should be arrested for dipping.

THANK YOU! Thought I was crazy. Sox road greys do not look solid grey

Well yes, I know. That's my point- I can't blame the catchers for continuing to do it if it works

They could catch the ball like a professional and still get the same call.

Yes from the LEDs but cf looks a little dusky. Sox jerseys show a hint of blue.

Yeah that makes sense. Parts of the uniforms and field look normal, but then at other times I can't see the batters face or read their jersey at all. Now that you mention it, I remember watching a night game where a light bank went out and it was similar.

TLDR: Wrigley is a rat infested dump

Nice play TA!

 

The lights remind me of watching a lakers game at Staples. Just clearly darker than all other broadcasts and so annoying. 

Love me some Keuchel!

123 3rd!

I remember some guys adamantly against Keuchel in the offseason.

Check his WAR in recent years and get back to me. Barely above replacement level

The new lights are insane from a couple blocks away on a cloudy night. 

Sox with 5 runs against the Cubs, my HS football team team with 5 1st half TDs.

Happy Friday!
