My understanding has always been that the CF is in charge of the OF and if they're calling for a ball, you back off even if you think you've got a better shot.

That's how I've always been taught, too. The thing is, I can't recall a season where there have been this many OF collisions and near-misses, and we're only halfway through. Something is wrong and it needs to be fixed ASAP before someone gets Schwarbered again.

Wood, our best bullpen pitcher by a mile this season who's well known for not giving up a lot of dongs, gives up 3 ER on back to back dongs.

That pretty much sums up the Cubs bullpen this season, yeah.

Strop is cool.

Also - and I feel weird saying this - but the strike zone has been remarkably good today. I can't think of a call to either team that I felt was terrible egregious.

It's sad that this is such a rarity. Bring on the robo-umps!
