    Well, Kluber has absolutely been given 3 Ks at the very least, and Lester has been squeezed. That said, he gave up those runs. And his inability to make a throw other than 60 ft 6 in is a serious problem. That said..... How about Kyle fucking Schwarber! On a summer night, that ball is gone.

    Exactly. I think Kluber is getting a serious benefit of the doubt, but the reality is, we're not protecting the plate. We're still taking early pipe shots, and late borderline pitches. Not a good recipe.

    Why the fuck is Ross batting there? Bases loaded, no outs. Just have to get 1 or 2 across. That was terrible game management.

    Awful. Loaded no outs and no runs. Absolutely had to score there. Really wanna light up Miller. Sick of hearing about him.

    Hope that's the last we see of Rondon this year. He's been dog shit since comming back from the injury.

    He's thrown ONE good inning since he came back. One. Fucking garbage.

    Also fuck the home plate umpire. If it's a strike for Kluber, it needs to be a strike for Lester. I don't understand how there can be a rule defined strike zone and umpires call it differently a) than the rule suggests and b) for different pitchers.

    I don't like it when the team that cruised through each series so far cruises through Game one of this series.

    Are you saying the game was "rigged"?

    No, I'm saying umpires need to call the strike zone consistently for both pitchers.

    as a semi-unbiased observer, I don't thing strike zone inconsistency was a big deal, one way or the other.
