Reminder that Happ is fucking awful at 2B, he should have gotten that ball Yastzemski hit.

>Castellanos severed his business ties with Meter and the SportsMeter Agency, and hired Scott Boras and the Boras Corporation. I change by prediction on Castellanos resigning with the Cubs to 0.0%.
this was in april when he was with the tigers. I think he wants to play here, he talks about how the park is good for him and he likes the environment
Aaron Brooks
Everyone says they want to stay here, but they'll go where the money is. The only way something happens is if Theo talks directly to Castellanos and cuts Bores out entirely. But given how the Arrieta negotiations went, I doubt that'll happen
Arcade league "rules" in shambles Castellanos in god's grace
Jason Ramirez
I'm sure some other team will make an offer. The problem is the Cubs are strapped for cash if you look at the amount of bullpen contracts that expire after this season. If Theo can persuade Castellanos to take a pay cut like he did with Heyward, good for him.
Hunter Butler
>Bryant is the third out >again He's in free fall.
if Kintzler can't lock this inning down, it's over.
Josiah Hill
seems like more rats in the city than usual this summer
Brody Brooks
Someone cut off KB's mullet he doesn't deserve that
Daniel Thomas
Always happens when the Cubs are behind.
Dylan Long
cubback time!
Luke Reyes
give bryant paternity leave he cant stop thinking about the baby
Wyatt Wilson
DO NOT hit into a double play Bryant, do anything else, but that.
Evan White
>“You know, I don’t really see the problem with killing a man,” Castellanos said. “He didn’t live before he was born and he won’t live after. Birthing a human... pulling a soul out of the ether and plopping into a bag of flesh—that’s not a crime, right? But it’s the same thing. Matter of perspective. Let’s get the win today, go Cubs.” what the fuck is wrong with this man
I've seen closer calls overturned and I've seen worse calls upheld. I've learned to attribute it to incompetence instead of malice. He looked safe to me too.
Samuel Cox
It's been a while. I usually post while at the gym wifi and gym chain is starting to crack down on Yea Forums.
Come on, let's end this game on a high note Cubbies!
Consider the umpball even with that called strike 3 gnats
Aiden Hughes
jints get umpballed 2 gone
Luke Morris
umpball
Jaxson Thomas
I still remember that out they called on Russell last year against the pirates that they didn't have an actual angle on to call him out and still did it
May only, minor complaint is the Cubs always deliver the coup de grace in the 8th inning. Imagine of those were all in the 9th as walk offs.
Andrew Moore
>>tfw darvish rbi was the difference between defeat and victory
Angel Turner
What a game
Anthony Flores
Happens to everyone believe it or not, but you hold on to whatever you think makes you stronger Cubsbro. I don't keep track, personally.
David Martin
when you lose the division by 1 game, you tend to hold onto that bullshit
Joseph Watson
This. If the Cubs didn't get umpballed, they wouldn't be forced to play that one game playoff for the Division. They don't like to say it, but every game does count.
Alexander Phillips
It's shit, I get it and I agree. And in your case it's probably even shit that might lead you to think it's intentional, but I just don't think so. The rep you guys get for crying umpball all the time is just something that could be helped, is all.
Henry Green
When it happens to your team a lot, you're going to call it out every time. At least also remember we're consistent. When the other team gets umped, we call it out too. Case in point Kimbrel's second strike out.
So don't for a second think we're biased, we hate umpball in general, and it almost always happens to go against us. Even the Cubs reconginize that.
>it almost always happens to go against us receipts
Nah, I don't really care. I won't try to change what works for you.
Jacob Russell
Check the gamethreads, we're meticulous when it's egregious. Of course you don't care, you're just looking for a reason to hate us, no matter what it is.
Jeremiah Rogers
I don't hate you and neither does the league, I'm trying to figure you and your funky ways out. Feeling victimized again? Man, I didn't even do anything.
Mason Hughes
That's what i mean, always with the unnecessary attacks when the evidence is calmly put in front of you. Although it's obvious you're here in bad faith. But I can't expect anything better.
Carson Wood
>Bad faith Re-open the thread when you're calmer, bro. I wanted to see if your bad rap was bullshit or if you guys really were touchy weirdos. I'm pretty open-minded but you're not exactly making a great case for yourselves even though (A) the Cubs won this game and (B) I didn't do anything except tell you umpball happens to everyone. Nobody owes you _more_ or even as much of an effort to figure you guys out than what I put forth, consider that.
Benjamin Anderson
>All he's doing is whining now. Typical. Reminder, even the Giants announcers thought Schwarber was safe and all they could hope for was that there was not enough evidence to overturn it.
Landon Morales
You know nothing about our announcers, they're about as even-handed as you can get. And yes, that's my take on them just like you have your takes on your own guys.
>whining Yeesh, that's kind of your MO, victimboy, not ours. That's the whole point you've so skillfully and willingly proven true for me. You're so full of shit, fucking kek.
Benjamin Hill
>You know nothing about our announcers >He doesn't even watch his own broadcasts. This sad and pathetic, let me even spoonfeed you a transcript.
>ah, he got him. >Really? >I think so. Got'em on the calf. .... >Bad angle, bad angle, we got to see a better angle.We're looking at the in house jumbo tron feed. .... >He's safe... unless... >I just can't tell from that angle because we can't see if he clipped him on the calf before that. We need the over head. Was it enough to overturn, that's the question.
And then the rest of it was just them waiting until umpball was confirmed.
So yes, your announcers thought it was safe and had to pray for 'inclusive evidence to bail your team out. Also, your announcers are shit compared to Len and JD.
Zachary Thomas
This is why your team is called the gnats, a bunch of annoying little flies.
Jackson Hernandez
You're reading what you want out of that, part and parcel of your whole victim schtick. They called what they saw and waited for the call. Hope and praying are your words. I get that you've trained yourself to interpret everything as personal offense, but, damn.
Aiden Sanders
I cut out the fluff about them talking about the Cubs fans. Your grasping at straws is pathetic. At the end of the day, all they did was say 'is there enough evidence to overturn', which is bad news for your side. But If you want to ignore evidence. I can't stop you.
This is spot on about your team. Gnats indeed.
Matthew Jackson
This whole discussion is pathetic. I regret giving you guys a fair shake, your rep here as complainers is fucking well earned and I should have just taken that at face value.
Parker Ward
Cry more gnat, prepare to be swatted by a broom tomorrow.
