LOL, Lackey and Contreras ejected in the 5th inning today. Anytime you can get both your starting pitcher and catcher ejected in the middle of a September pennant race game, that's impressive.

 

First of 7 games in like the next two weeks between the two teams.

lol @ Mouthbreather...what an idiot. Still not sure what Contreras said to get ejected...but mouthbreather deserved it. And then having to listen to the Cub announcers whine about that previous pitch being a strike...it wasn't even close.

Surely you're not talking about the one right down the middle called a ball, right?

That was a terrible call though, it was right down the middle. Ump probably missed it in part due to Lackey missing his spot and Contreras having to reach for the pitch, but you can't miss that call. Contreras has to stay calm though, he can't get himself suspended right now.

 

EDIT: Actually looking at it again it wasn't so much Lackey missing his spot as it was a terrible framing job by Contreras.

sorry...didn't think it was even close regardless of badly Contreras framed it. When you have to backhand a ball that's low and away?...that's a strike now?

But it was right down the middle. It doesn't really matter what you think if its clearly over haha its not about where the catcher catches it.

Even if you don't think pitch trackers are 100% accurate they aren't off by THAT much, it was pretty much right down the middle.

Wait....people are actually debating that that pitch was a ball??

 

I'm not terribly surprised it was called a ball given how terribly that Contreras received it, but it was most certainly a strike right down the middle. Just goes to show how much pitch framing, both positively and negatively, can affect an umpire's judgement.

I think the Cubs and Indians are locks for the WS and the Cubs win again. Parade deuce.

Cubs and Indians obviously were not into it until recently. They survived the doldrums and are ready to roll again. They have the most talent, folks.

 

Just Like Kansas is a lock for every Final Four. Different sport, same playoff lottery
