when did mother's day become breast cancer awareness day?
Anthony Jenkins
They've been doing it for like the last 10 years mate
Brody Morgan
how dare you, you cis piece of shit misogynist.
Jaxson Smith
When did players become forced to wear faggy pink gear?
Anthony Thompson
I'm watching the game with my mom and she asked the same thing
Jordan Roberts
I can't remember ever seeing the fucking ump where a pink mask. It's kind of overkill at this point
Dylan Moore
MORE SHITTY UMPS CAN'T WAKE UP
Dylan Kelly
>players will never where light blue for prostate cancer awareness on father's day
William Brooks
This whole series has been brutal in that regard
Seriously. Is it gonna take a player getting prostate cancer?
Kevin Kelly
Why not put murphy behind bryce? He might get more pitches to hit since murphy is on a tear.
Luke Jenkins
This catcher is making good pitches look like shit
Austin Ward
No, the ump is just autistic.
Caleb Adams
Nats are trying to kill Fowler
Parker King
Plz don't be ded dexter
Tyler Green
>lead off man doin his thing
Andrew Rogers

Cameron Ross

Jackson Young
cmon benny
Kevin Taylor
hello i am new to this sport pls be friendly
go cubs
Tyler Gutierrez
ayyyy new fans are always welcome m8
Colton Hall
So the bit that is x-y underneath the pitch count
I understand y=outs. What is x?
Landon Lopez
The balls and strikes (also known as a 'count')
Caleb Garcia
0-0 (balls, strikes), x outs
Aaron Collins
>bases loaded >soler steps up to the plate just fuckin' kill me
Dylan Johnson
These umps need to go back to ump school.
Bentley Davis
So what are the balls and strikes
Jace Morales
Why can't George Soler get hits, lads?
Jose King
SOLER, REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! God dammit, how many times is maddon going to fall for the soler is a work in progress meme.
Shit fielding and strike out machine
Brandon Ross
4 balls is a free base, 3 strike and youre out. fouls count as strikes but once you have 2 strike you can foul the ball off as much as you want.
Austin Murphy
So the 4 balls is a foul count for the pitcher? Like they're illegal throws?
Landon Flores
To be fair that at-bat was more Roark working the ump's zone and getting outside strikes, but it would be nice for Soler to take a fucking swing
Isaiah Brown
balls if the pitcher misses the strike zone while the batter doesn't swing
4 balls and the batter advances to first base
strike if the batter doesn't swing and ump calls it in the strike zone, strike if he swings and misses or hits a foul(can't get out on a foul hit though, unless it's caught)
James Young
>That baby's face
JUST
Thomas Flores
looks like zika 2bh
William Jackson
Why are these dickweed umps still allowed to umpire games?
Julian Phillips
there is a strike zone and if the ump decides you threw a pitch in the zone its a strike. balls are pitches thrown outside the zone. Its all done by the discretion of the ump and this one is calling a shit game so this is a really bad game to watch as your first
Thomas Miller
>Arrieta getting 5-6 balls called on the exact same pitches that Soler went down with
Gavin Brown
most of them are pretty good. theres like 4 that are just awful. Ted Barret might be the worst HPU
David Young
Thanks for info bros, I won't shit up the thread with too many more.
Are the cubs a good team? I've went with them solely cos I'm a Bears fan so it makes sense. Chicago seems a pretty cool place.
Levi Hall
South side where the sox play is a run down shit hole of a ghetto. Cubs play in a wealthy neighborhood on the north side. Comfy as fuck and lots of fun stuff to do.
Blake Wilson
>this catcher
Bring up contreras
Jaxon Nguyen
>Federowicz CONTRERAS NOW
Samuel Lopez
Well right now they're the best team in the majors. They also had a really good season last year. However they are also infamous for not being good - no World Series since 1908, no WS appearance since 1945
FUCK FEDEROVIC YOU KURWA
Jayden Flores
The Cubs started a rebuild a few years ago and are last season jump-started the contending phase. They have almost their entire great positional core locked up for the next 5 years and are winning at a literally historic rate this year.
Jaxson Perry
wew that grounder.
Ethan Bennett
Hello britbong. Yes the Cubs are good. I think they are easily the best team in the league at the moment. Chicago is fun.
Aiden Diaz
>fedorawicz
Leo Stewart
arguably the best team around now m8, but they havent won anything in over 100 years which is laughable compared to any other team
they were cursed by a goat
Isaac Smith
>Implying Contreras is fully developed
Montero should be back soon, no need to start the service time clock yet.
Asher Barnes
tell me about london. How fucked are you guys realistically
Christian Ortiz
calm down, Fedora has been great overall for what he is - a short DL stint stopgap.
Grayson Ortiz
I wanted to post this
David Cook
he can't be worse than Timmy Fedora
call him up, let him share time with Ross and then send him down when Montero is back, then he can continue his development
Sebastian Jackson
Nothing small about this manlet ump's strike zone.
Isaac Davis
>All this pink for mother's day
Colton Hughes
I'm in Glasgow, London might as well be another country for me.
Dominic Roberts
if you mean the mayor then khan is a liberal guy and might sort out the housing situation - so ok - he's a great example of a muslim actually integrating unlike most of the fuckers
otherwise london has fantastic parts but the main issue is ghettoisation and it being unaffordable for most average people in that way it's fairly fucked
muh referendum
Hunter Jones
Just look at how much irregular playing time has fucked up Soler.
Contreras should stay in the minors until he can handle the pitching staff and get regular playing time
Brody Brooks
Why the fuck do you guys care?? Theyre happy to wear that stuff and show their mothers some love. Do you not buy your mother nice shit for mothers day?
Caleb Richardson
what's wrong with London
Sebastian Morales
No
Samuel Evans
gonna ask you to take a few moments to get woke >>Sup Forums
Hudson Wood
it worked fine for Schwarber
Lucas Robinson
>but the main issue is ghettoisation and it being unaffordable for most average people in that way it's fairly fucked
to be fair this is the issue with literally every big city in the world these days, Chicago included.
James Bailey
Schwarber was a shit defender though lel
Josiah Rodriguez
schawbs was good the second he entered the majors. Soler has been in and out of the majors and still cant handle being an every day player.
Nathaniel Garcia
Dat mad af BRUTAL cubs guy.
David Hall
I called her on the phone
Aiden Clark
Schwarber was playing pretty much every day, just not at catcher. Contreras with would be sitting on Ross days since he doesn't play other positions.
Colton Bennett
>Soler has been in and out of the majors
Parker Martin
buying stuff for your mum is fine and you should do it, wearing this garish shit though???
true, i got offered a job in san francisco a while ago and lol at some of those rents
Its the easiest thing the players can do to represent their mothers during the game. Its only 1 day, at least its not an entire month like the nfl. Plus I believe they auction the mothers day stuff off and doante all the money to breast cancer research
Joseph Brooks
>Referendum
No, i hear enough from Nats here. Comfy sports threads are to be free of referendum pish
The Mothers day stuff is a bit garish but I guess its a nice message.
Xavier Rodriguez
yeah I remember reading that San Francisco rent is actually worse than Manhattan now, and even parts of west Oakland are more like what San Francisco was 5-10 years ago.
Landon Allen
America's a garish, superficial place dawg
From my experience living in Canada and the US, there would be a lot less inter-ethnic hatred if different group had regular contact/communication, but forcing it is..questionable. Worked in Singapore, I doubt it in a place like the US where race is so central to society
Oh wow we're actually down...
Austin Rogers
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!
Kayden Turner
>Bryant
Welp. With how shakey Arrieta has been lately, shit defense is going to cost us.
Ryan Taylor
>mfw reverse gentrification happens and the suburbs become all black and rich white people move into the city
Shhiiiieeett
Isaiah Richardson
Steroids boy is spooked, won't throw a strike.
This was his problem in Baltimore.
Enjoy the collapse.
>Dwarfs
Jordan Phillips
Bryant's a good defender overall but every once in a while he has these "fuckin' seriously?" moments
Josiah Barnes
maybe but the numbers dont lie. Dallas tried doing this and it has been a disaster. The people who were moved into nice neighborhoods ended up fucking up their new towns. Crime spiked and these peoples kids didnt do any better in school despite having access to better education.
Adam Brooks
Why does Arrieta keep throwing the low pitch to Murphy? He loves that pitch
Asher Allen
>petrified Natsfag comes out of nowhere after a 1-0 lead after being invisible all thread
Lol
Nolan Murphy
>collapse Hes literally setting MLB records. anything less than his usual self is far from a collapse. Its called above average pitching. stay mad.
Joshua Davis
>RBI double
Bullshit, that's an error. It clearly muffed the ball.
Chase Taylor
>inter-ethnic hatred if different group had regular contact/communication
but it's not inter-ethnic hatred really, it's hatred of the worst subsections of races. no one is trying to run law-abiding middle class minorities out of neighborhoods. It's contempt for the gang-related ones that don't even give a shit about their own neighborhoods and go around messing up others.
