Stole second and tried to steal 3rd up 8-0 after Rockies BS....and Javy sends a shot about 8,000 feet on next pitch. Umps lost control of this one.. I didn't get to watch the game, but was just watching the highlights on the ESPN website...One of the Rockies announcers said, "It's probably a good thing these 2 teams don't play again this year." Yeah, probably... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, probably... One of the more crazier regular season games I've watched in years. Odd part is Maddon and Bud Black are good friends off the field but probably escalated to the point where things just boiled over after last year and first two games of this series.

In the unwritten rules of baseball, seems to me that everyone did the right thing up until Rizzo got plunked. And Rizzo's stolen base, his try for 3rd and Javy's laser stare after his bomb were all justified. Of course, I'm not biased or anything 🧐 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryant has been hit 4x by Rockies last year and this year. We hit Arenado once. Oh well. onto LA for a tough 4 game series. Would take a split in a heartbeat. After that we have a perceived favorable schedule all the way up until All Star Break July 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I read, Cole even acknowledged that by nodding toward the mound. But, Rizzo getting hit needs to be addressed. I did read a funny quote in the Sun-Times this morning attributed to Joe Maddon. He said a batter has 2 options when getting hit. "Go to the mound, or go to first base. But don't sit there and jabber. Either one is fine, but you have 2 choices" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case he's exactly right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure they won the series in '90, but the pieces were there to make a sustained run. See ya Lou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 To follow up on Lester's post game comments last night. I remember a time when Dodger Stadium was a pitcher's park. Don't know if it's the ball, bat, hitters or poor pitching but if MLB wanted to follow the footsteps of NFL (offense draws viewers) they are definitely succeeding. Balls that are normally warning track fly ball outs are getting into the stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Cubs are 7-7 in their last 14. Reminds me of something Vin Scully once said about the Dodgers... "They're such a .500 team, they'd split a 3 game series." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when it hits historically pitchers parks like DS it really becomes concerning. Pitchers have to pitch higher and higher to protect themselves vs launch angles of hitters these days. As we all know though pitching higher is a recipe for dongs. Double edge sword for some of these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 CB Bucknor was umpire last night for Cubs/Dodgers game. Thought Joe Maddon's comment was spot on. Called strikes took Cubs out of 2 or 3 run scoring chances in a tight game. Getting closer and closer to just an electronic zone. If Umps and MLB will be this bad/inconsistent with zero way to challenge their ineptness I'm all done with the human element. “Unfortunately, whenever that fellow works, everybody expects that in advance. And it’s hard to argue because it’s equally offensive to both sides. That’s as kind as I can be.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
