The "unwritten rules" no longer apply. There's actual emotion in the field and it's bringing a whole new energy and outlook about baseball, and I, for one, love it.

Posted October 3, 2018 I love them having the home plate umpire mic'd up!! Wish they did it for regular season calls and I wish they would publicly make announcements about replay reviews like they do in football and hockey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 3, 2018 This is absolutely the wrong move by Joe Madden. Jon Lester is your horse and is dominating. You do not pull him here!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 3, 2018 Lester was great but Freeland is the real deal. The man is dealing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 3, 2018 The Cubs don't score and now Lester is out of the game and the Rockies get to take aim at a worn out Cubs bullpen. Thanks Joe Maddon!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 3, 2018 WOW!!!! Are you kidding? Catcher's inference loads the bases for the Cubs with only 1 out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 3, 2018 Adam Ottavino is letting the pressure get to him. Doesn't help that Butera looks out of sorts too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 3, 2018 WOW!! Heyward strikes out pinch-hitting to leave the bases loaded!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 3, 2018 Call stands. Butera called out and the inning is over. Bottom of the 8th now with a 1-0 Rockies lead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
