The announcers were just saying that the strike called earlier
forced Soler to swing at that one.

Rizzo swings at a ball that bounces.
Can't blame the ump on that one. That's just awful hitting.

0-8 with RISP, but the bad strike zone has impacted at least two
of those ABs. And two more were Olt and Lester, which were
automatic outs anyway.

The Chicago Cubs certainly do challenge the notion that there's
no such thing as clutch hitting.

What is it about the Cubs and throwing balls into CF on steal
attempts? It doesn't matter who is playing C/SS/2B, they seem
to do it about once a game. And other teams seem to do it
against the Cubs about once a month.

Terrible announcing. Terrible home plate umpire.
Automate the strike zone.

Brandon McCarthy ‏@BMcCarthy32
if this is the new strike zone I think you could convince
pitchers to use a 10 second pitch clock

I hope Maddon doesn't wait too long to pull the plug on Olt at
third. Really, they should be using 2B and 3B to audition La
Stella and Alcantara for 2B once Bryant comes up.

Well one new addition looks great. Not for the Cubs, but still.
