I always suspected. Congrats.

The times the Cubs got thrown out and it looked like blocking earlier in the year, it was said that if the ball beats the runner and the throw is online, the runner cannot be "blocked."

I'm not sure...but the umps have been consistent throughout the year.

Jim Joyce has a weird strikezone. Inside/ outside is always a strike. But up and down is small.

What is Joyce too hoarse to call that a strike?

I forgot my original post lol. The first time I wrote it was "with little to no damage."

And then I was confident.

I go back to my post of way too smart post of Maddon not pinch hitting Arietta last inning.

There's a presumption here that Clint asked the correct question of the umps - that is, isn't that blocking. It's entirely possible he asked for a safe/out review only.

Yeah, you wereally wrong IMU.

Darko, you have two plays there. Go to 2nd and try for the DP, or throw home. Why Castro did neither I have no idea.

For every time you second guess Maddon, you'll be wrong 9 other times.

But congrats.

If only we could drive guys in from third base with one out.

Castro is a moron and he sucks and I can't wait for him to be gone. He rarely does the right thing defensively and when he does offensively it's usually a total accident.

Amen

Leaving Arrieta in was absolutely the right move. If Baez could catch a baseball it would of been an easy inning.

Gave him a hit on that too. No way.

I'm under the impression that you ask a question and they answer that question only.

Supposedly, if you check for blocking they also check for safe / out.

If you ask for safe / out, they only check for safe / out.

Per Len & JD. They don't seem 100% confident.

Put it on Joe... Never should have had Numbnutz at 2nd ..Russell catches that in his sleep..n that should be an error.


Joyce needs to eat some fuckn carrots his zone is all over the place.

Well next time you're up focus on the middle of the diamond and look for a ball up in the zone you can drive to the outfield.

Cubs will probably lose this game but the sample size is big enough now and it shows that the Pirates can't do much of anything vs Arrieta but the Cubs can hit Cole well enough. Hopefully we can catch a baseball and throw to the correct base by the wildcard game.
