MLB: ***Official 2017 Chicago Cubs Season Thread***

[HFCS]

Well, there's always this one:

Some here think that's the right call and fine play.

The 3-0 lead the Dodgers had at the time was the only thing keeping my head from exploding on it. As every commentator said after the game, the process was unimaginably bad. If Davis pitches tonight and isn't absolutely perfect everyone will go back to this and probably with some validity, if for some reason the game is close and the Cubs don't bring out Davis it'll be discussed even more.

We can't use video replay review...but we can have a "use your imagination about what might have happened five minutes ago 90-300 feet away to overrule what someone saw instantly 3 feet away" review.

I think it is really "no harm no foul" going forward as it was only one pitch, but it was unimaginably bad umpiring on a very public stage in a very big moment. Can you imagine if Granderson had got a hit, homer, walked, etc. and the Cubs lost? My god that would have been brutal.

Also, Quintana has to pitch at least 7 innings tonight with Davis not being available

There would have been a riot on the field. It would have gotten really ugly.

Agreed. Not sure who Joe goes to in the 8th and 9th in this situation. Strop probably for sure one of the innings. Not a lot of confidence in anybody else at this point.

Wow... that is an horrific call.

And we need to get about a 4-5 run lead. Still haven't scored a run this series without a HR.

And they really haven't been that close either, just not getting guys on base regularly at all.

 

[stormchaser2014]

Can't wait to see how the umps screw up tonight.

 

[ISUCubswin]

Well lets ******* go

 

[enisthemenace]

Taylor is a major pain in the ass.

 

[ISUCubswin]

Let's try and limit those pitches mmkay?

 

[CycloneErik]

Ha! Scoring first doesn't win in this series, Dodgers.

 

[Cy$]

not good, Quintana's pitch count is high and Davis got burned out yesterday

 

[Cyched]

Ha! Scoring first doesn't win in this series, Dodgers.

Got em right where we want em

 

[stormchaser2014]

Someone please knock that stupid ass visor off of Marlins Man.

 

[ISUCubswin]

Well Quintana is known for his awful first and second innings. Move on to the third.

 

[CycloneErik]

This is less fun.
Make it more fun, Cubs!!

 

[CyCrazy]

There was always last year.

 

[CyJack13]

It must be really nice to have your best hitters come through in big situations.
