WTF no warnings and he is gone 

Good. Don’t throw at a guy because you couldn’t get him out.

Still JMO, but I hate this crap now. You don’t want a guy to bat flip? Get him out.

I guess we are ok with someone plunking Anderson in the helmet next time he hits one.

Contreras is annoying af, but yeah. Get him out for the rest of the series.

Could Ricky not even get tossed there? Or did he? He needed to kick dirt.

nice try ricky... but only justice would have been having you stand in the batter box and letting your team chuck balls at you - after your mega fuck ton idiotic decisions in Cleveland.

They decided the best way to punish the Sox was him staying in the dugout?

Indians tied it in the 9th. Really could be in Oakland on Tuesday.

He should have argued like that in Cleveland when Angel Hernandez's strike zone was the width of both batters boxes.

Cleveland just tied it.

 

What an unbelievable collapse. Even that temper tantrum from Rick was pathetic.

This would be one of the biggest chokes ever if the postseason rules didn’t change this year 

Said it a few days ago that it had a 2012 feel.  Only real difference is temporary rules allowed them to secure a playoff berth before they completely collapsed. 

Game day says both Cordero and Renteria tossed.

The umps are looking at him like the principal in high school that refuses to give detention to the goodie-two-shoes that skips school on senior skip day because "he's just too nice and didn't really mean it".

I am with you but that was a 30 foot bat flip and you have the bullpen guys hanging on the fence screaming at Mazara.  It's one thing to celebrate something it's another with what is going on.

Bat flip or bat launch?

Yeah that was a bat throw, not a flip. Maybe he meant to flip it but the extra testosterone causes it to go far

Cleveland just won. To the 7th spot we go!

8-0

Hahahahaha.

So you’re ok with Anderson getting hit every time he bat flips? 

no we aren’t. We like that. It’s fun. You want Contreras to drop his bat? PITCH BETTER. 

You cannot like Tim Anderson’s attitude and want the ball thrown at people because the bat flip was aggressive. 

This is sort of embarrassing. Cubs are fired up beyond belief and kicking our butts. See if we can wake up from this nightmarish end of the season at some point. Sox look like a different team frankly. I'm not mad or anything, just pointing out how it looks to me. We're getting owned, at least tonite.

This team has quit.  So much goodwill going down the drain.

Did they change the rules where more runs are preferred over less.  If that's still the case we have problems.

Don’t be so negative. We can turn this ardor the playoffs 

Jayce's ex fiancee approves of that play.

I went from loving this team to absolutely hating it in a span of 6 days. I don't even want to watch tomorrow or Sunday.
