None of this would have happened if not for that pitch right down the pipe being called a ball.

All because an Ump missed a strike three.

Very true.... Ump blew that call... BUT man why pull Hendricks there ? He was pitching really well ...

Let me repeat myself from earlier today: I don't want Lester in relief. I want strike throwers like Lackey, Edwards jr, and Chappy

Don't call out the manager or catcher just yet. It's one thing to allow two runs on a play like that (which is rarely seen, from what I've noticed), it's another to see if they can bounce back from it.

They didn't get this far by having the wind sucked out of their sails with plays like that!

My prediction this afternoon was that Maddon would pull Hendricks for no reason after 1 guy gets on and using the Lester/Ross(who sucks) combo would fuck them.

So far it's been great!!! Even better that ross himself fucked it up

Will Joe Madden go down as the biggest fool in history?

Yes, Hendricks has ice water in his veins. The inning was over twice but the fucking ump was the MVP for the Engines and called balls and got the walk. He was virtually unhittable and was throwing almost all strikes. He didn't lose control or anything.

Meanwhile Lester isn't used to coming in mid game with men on base and he is on short rest. That was easily the worst move I've ever seen.

Bartman sighting in Chicago. He figures he's off the hook now after that Joe Dumfucker Maddon made that decision.

Lester deserves being called out for never covering home. Wtf?

Astounds me that anyone would bring Lester in with men on.

Almost as much as coaching staffs allowing him to be so shitty at his job.

I don't think pulling Hendricks there is defensible in any way. Dude was untouchable.
