The balls just didn’t land for us today.
And seriously **** this ump. He sucks ass.

I remember it. I thought the year was off quite a bit.Are you people not old enough to remember that?
Mike Schmidt with 4 HR's.

They won 6 games in a row. They thought it would be too greedy if they won 7.Okay, meatball......
Cubs blew this game. Cubs were flat all around and the bullpen didn't help.

Everybody has it wrong...at least that's what I remember. Schmidt hitting 4 homers came in another game a few years earlier. The story on the 23-22 game was the fact that Dave Kingman hit 3 HRs and drove in like 6, I think Bill Buckner had a slam and drove in 7 and the Cubs still lost. I know both the Schmidt 4 HR game and the 23-22 game were in the 70s and were both losses by the Cubs but Im fairly certain they were different games.

I typed that yesterday, and afterward thought I had that wrong. I remember the Mike Schmidt 4 HR's, because they were his last 4 AB's, and we watched the next day to see if he hit 5 straight, which had never been done.
My brother attended the 23-22 game, and that was, indeed, different. My bad.
Now, who also remembers the 22-0 game? Pittsburgh over the Cubs. I believe that was the Rennie Stennett 7 for 7 performance. And I won't look it up - I am testing my now failing memory.
I hate getting shut out so much. Really unacceptable in my opinion.
In a week where I expected this team to go 2-5 to teams I thought were better going in (not sure I feels the same now) I'm not going to get upset over a single loss.
Okay, meatball......

Okay? Not sure why you feel the need to single me out when there were multiple posts about the location of the strike zone all day but to each their own.
Strike zone had nothing to do with the loss
Strike zone had nothing to do with the loss.......bad bullpen and not knocking in RISP did them in. They're still young and learning. Losses like this happen. But 2 of 3 from a decent division rival is nothing to scoff at.
I call out fans for failure to be objective.
Feel free to ask around though--SilenceS, Parade, even that dipshit Jim Johnson can tell you--I've gone after many others. Its not targeting either, at least to me its not.
Bring something solid besides being a meatball to the table and we'll get some great conversations going. Bring this mickey mouse shit and I'll talk down to you like you're a meatball.
Whether or not it contributed to the loss is sort of beside the point.
That was Soler's second at bat yesterday. 3 of those 4 pitches were called strikes. If this was the first time it had happened then fine chalk it up to a generous ump. However, Maddon got kicked out of one of the Cardinals games for this very same sort of thing against Soler. Ultimately, the problem this causes is Soler can't do anything with those pitches even if he swings. If umps are going to expand the zone on Soler like this continually he's going to have a hard time hitting.
They weren't strikes even when showing on the pitch tracker during the game.Perhaps a stupid question. Those dots represent the center of the baseball right? If that is the case than those three pitches are strikes as the diameter of the ball touches the black of the plate.
