Lmfao, Boone gets ejected for chirping at at ump. Except Boone was just standing there looking at his nails. https://packaged-media.redd.it/22j4...55d59ccbb3e#t=0

I know it was an issue with Ross at the helm as well, so is it the manager or Cubs front office that is setting these whackadoo lineups

LobsterMobster posted:I know it was an issue with Ross at the helm as well, so is it the manager or Cubs front office that is setting these whackadoo lineups Jed gave Craig a dogshit bullpen and most of the organizational pitching depth is more starter focused and also helping to fill in for rotation injuries. Like okay yeah Alzolay's poo poo the bed but what do you do about it? Nerris also sucks and if you make Leiter the closer then the rest of the pen is never gonna actually be able to hand him a save to try and convert. Likewise the offense looks a lot more limp when Seiya and Happ are out. I have a few nitpicks on the usage/lineups - in particular they really need to just admit Hendricks is unfortunately washed and phantom IL/bullpen him - but mostly it's just a not particularly deep roster that got hit by loads of early injuries and it's made the weak links all the more glaring.

Yeah it’s this. Plus the Marlins have 38 lefty SPs so lots of Wisdom and Coop last series. Counsell has been fine and the Cubs are playing .590 baseball but this will not stop the awesome power of Cubsposting

The Cubs are playing a little over .500 ball, that is pretty much what we expected. They are going to win 84 games.

Poque posted:Nine Cubs losses this season: They scored more than three runs in just two of those games, the choke job in San Diego and the wild one in Arizona. I don't really blame Counsell for sticking with Adbert. He was efficient in the role last season and a bunch of guys take a few appearances to feel out their breaking stuff. But Adbert's slider is just a nothingball so far and it looks like it'll be Neris and Leiter at the end of games now. In all fairness Counsell had Hader and then Devin Williams so I can't really say whether or not he'll handle this well over the next five months but it's too early for Chicken Little imho. Cool Kyle should probably be a 2-inning opener for Ben Brown at this point but veteran presence, contract, etc etc

When he said "I don't care who said it" as Boone runs up to him I think he was likely referring to which member of the Yankees said the objectionable thing right after the warning. I'm sure he didn't realize it was someone in the stands who shouted it at him.. I guess it would have been good if he reversed himself after getting an explanation, but I've never seen an official in any sport do that.

This kind of gently caress up I just find funny. The consistent lovely strike zones are what actually enrage me (and not being willing to overturn things on replay)

If fans know an umpire by name, that umpire is doing a poor job. You should never be enough of a factor in the game to be (in)famous.

Giving fans the idea that they have any miniscule amount of power will mean it'll get run into the ground immediately. e: also it was complete bullshit but it's hilarious that it happened to Not My Team.

The second batter of the game is at bat. Its just a hilariously short fuse from the ump.
