Lol, this game is a circus.

Blind umpire, 8 inch mitt's on hand, and the Orioles who have decided that these mediocre Cubs pitchers can dominate them. 

lmao you smoke to soon, it can be get worse.

BALL 4, umps can't even keep track of the count anymore.

Nice, another 5 minute review.

[Tony-OH]

CJ Buckner can't even count. How does this happen? This is twice we've seen this this year. How does a major league umpire crew not know the counts?

[fansince1988]

Let's blast a home run here!

Is ridiculous that in this day and age we can't keep track of ball and strikes better,  both the actual current count AND what is a ball or a strike.

Cubs suck and we are gonna get swept. 

How many times have people in these game threads and on the board said "we're going to get swept"?    Over and over again.   And it hasn't happened once.   I guess I just don't get the negative mentality, we've got a game tomorrow vs a bad pitcher.   If we lose today, which we haven't yet, we still have a very good chance to win tomorrow.   Why do people constantly talk about the worst case scenario?

You may wind up being right.   After dozens and dozens of posts lke yours predicitng a sweep, someone is bound to be right eventually.   But I just don't get why people are so quick to go there.    If we win the first game of a series there aren't nearly as many posts talking about how we are going to get a sweep.

Guess I don't understand the need to go to the most negative case all the time.

I never saw this in little league, much less in the pros.

How are they even arguing this?  Ridiculous

Even more bizarre it seemed like Hays didn't know the count either haha. He just stood there like he was getting ready for the next pitch.

You know how we can have 6 hour long baseball games ? .....Review every pitch SMH !

Lol MLB is suppose to be the highest level of professionals but ive seen better umpiring in T-ball toddler games.

Agree with this post but you’re fighting an uphill battle LOL.

Are intentional walks reviewable ?

i think he was just in shock over it not being called a strike to be honest.
