He made an easy play look hard. He has also put on 10lbs the last month.

You're being dumb. Stop being dumb.

A fine analysis of my post.

There has been some absolutely god-awful umpiring in this series.

Soler was laughing at the ump after that first strike call. Bring on the robozone, please.

Its the friggin pitcher...WTF. Trying to pick a corner...throw a damn strike.

 

[Diehardfan]

That's why Hammel is bottom rotation guy and why he gets his ass pulled early....he's just not real smart.

Glavine also got luv on the edges. If I recall right there was a crack down on the strike zone. Umps back then did not call above the belt strikes but widened the zone to compensate.

Now strikes are at the letters and the width is narrower.

Just guys pitching to the ump's zone. No one talks about how no one called high strike back then that pitchers can go up in the zone now and get a called.

This. The zone is taller but no as wide. It used to be shorter and wider. The overall size is probably very similar. I would say that the zones do play to types of pitchers, but the sizes are probably very close.

Lol. The plate has always been 17" wide.

Huh.... what's going on in here......

 

[beckdawg]

Heyward is now 11 for his last 35(.314). Only one thing can explain this...

The Cy Young voting is not done until after the World Series has concluded. Does the Cubs front office have a time machine? And even if they did, why in the hell would they let the Cy Young voting determine their playoff rotation order?

The cy has bo bearing. Record has no bearing. The decision will be based on how they're pitching down the stretch, health, home/away splits. And experience.

It's a great problem for Maddon. ERA leader, 2015 Cy young winner, two veterans with playoff experience, and Hammel who is absolutely no slouch!

LOL at the home plate umpire, luckily he blown in our favor this time

 

[TL1961]

Anyone mistaking the plate for the strike zone hasn't watched major league baseball.
