cardinals are better

>Cubs batting is a 4 team outcome of strike out, walk, GIDP or solo home run.
Ooo I don't like this.

Just let Baez rest Maddon, he's clearly not 100%.

LOL no.

If you told me Darvish and Quintana would have hits before Hamels this season, I would have said you were nuts.

strikeout strikeout strikeout

Nice and quick inning by Hamels even with the base hit.

That was a great at bat by Russell.
Now don't hit into a GIDP.

kill him with fire

these umps are absolute garbage lol. Giving the pitcher outside to both lefties and righties

Comfy pitchers duel desu

It wouldn't be a cardinals game without massive umpball helping them.

>That first called strike on Bryant.

pretty cool of the cards manager to leave wainwright in

Wowie

>More dumb luck for the cardinal to save their asses.

>taking Hamels out
Gutless move by the meme manager

Shildt channeling his inner Matheny.

Wong is ELITE

He was out, but the check cleared for the umps.

is it possible to be a bigger crybabby lifelong fruitcake?

cant even score a run, pathetic

this is me and that post came after ringing out ozuna on pitch wide left, he also rung out schwarber on a pitch wide right

Years of getting games gift wrapped to you must have rotted your brain.
Day of the electronic strike zone is soon.

Time for Russell to be the hero or the idiot who proves we should just clone Baez so he can play both SS and 2B.

>Thinking this umpire's strike zone is worth defending.
Now would be a good time for a three run homer.

this team fucking sucks, dark times are ahead again

alzolay might come up soon, that's a plus

god I hope so, then then all the lifelongs will be forced to shut up and the outcome of games will be completely unaffected. umps miss just as many calls outside the zone as they do inside the zone, and vice versa. not that I understand lifelongs to understand concepts such as averages and common sense.
absolutely fantastic post

>umps miss just as many calls outside the zone as they do inside the zone
How does that matter? I'm not the one who claims umpball, but claiming that they miss both ways is a shit defense
