Is there a difference between GRD and fan interference in terms of the umps having more discretion? If that's the case the Ivy should be changed to be treated more like fan interference.

Yes, there is. Ground rules are defined by the stadium. Fan interference isn't a ground rule, so the umpires can place everyone where they want.

Hey btw, The Royals scored more than 17 runs in the last 38 hours.

Nice hustle, Murph!

 

[Mrbob]

Cubs with so many mistakes last couple innings. Seems over.

 

[J2 Cool]

Why double clutch. Bryant's made some bad fielding errors.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

I'm getting so pissed at the Cubs throughout this whole series. Fuck.

Why double clutch. Bryant's made some bad fielding errors.

I don't think he had a good grip on the ball.

I get that it's the playoffs but I hate seeing complaints about ballpark stuff like the ivy. I love that about baseball. Weird dimensions, short porches, ivy, its part of whats so great.

I have no problem with the ivy. My problem is with the ground rule double.

 

[minx]

Lol at people wanting to tear the Ivy down. Never going to happen get over it. Bryant has been terrible during the playoffs.

This. That run has to be awarded.

 

[Silkworm]

Time for Cespedes to break this game wide open for the Mets.

 

[J2 Cool]

Just noticed the Mets have 10 hits to cubs 4. Cubs really just holding them.

Bryant has been terrible during the playoffs.

He hasn't been lights out hitter, but he's had some stretches where he battled. Fielding though another story. I miss Addison Russell in our infield.

[Choomp]

The ivy doesn't need to be torn down, at least make it so things like that don't happen again, I just thought it was an umpires judgement of a sort there.

 

[GK86]

Lol good hands over there.

 

[Link]

YES!!

 

[Mrbob]

Cubs team finally melting under the pressure.

 

[SamastahSukhino]

Lol

 

[FTF]

Niiice!

 

[Beckx]

I have no problem with the ivy. My problem is with the ground rule double.

I like a bright line rule better than judgment calls in that situation.

Cubs have terrible gloves tonight lol

 

[Marvie_3]

Lolol

 

[Icanplaythat]

Jeez, is the Cubs outfield normally this terrible?

 

[richiek]

Time for Cespedes to break this game wide open for the Mets.

 

[detectiveconan1]

Cubs pls. Looks like the Royals are the only thing in the way of the Mets winning it all.

 

[J2 Cool]

Schwarber plays balls so weird.

You have to think about setting up the DP, no?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Bartman lives forever

 

[Alex_Mexico]

Fuck this game. Chicago is crumbling at the seams.

 

[M.W.]

Whelp, BTTF2 was wrong

 

[Choomp]

Thanks Schwarber

 

[Malo]

Cubs defense has cost them big this game.

 

[Mrbob]

Jeez, is the Cubs outfield normally this terrible?

No, but I think all these young players are starting to crack under the pressure in the same game.

 

[GK86]

Good shit, Murphy.

 

[minx]

Hate to say it but the Cubs are done.

 

[grandjedi6]

Whelp, BTTF2 was wrong

BTTF2 was right. It's just looking like we live in the bad future.

 

[FTF]

5-2!

 

[Kuroyume]

Murph with that blaazing speed

 

[DoktorEvil]

Can't blame Bartman, he's not there.

 

[darkside31337]

murphy must be taking the worlds greatest PEDs.

 

[Hopfrog]

Cubs have just completely fallen apart here.

 

[J2 Cool]

You have to think about setting up the DP, no?

Guess don't set yourself up for a double play.. the fuck, Maddon.

 

[lazybones18]

*turns on game*

why?

 

[jmaine_ph]

LETS GO METS!!!!!

 

[Choomp]

Is there anything Murphy's not doing right now? Goddamn.

d'arnaud reach on a dropped third strike again(cri)

 

[Silkworm]

BTTF2 was right. It's just looking like we live in the bad future.

Hopefully the Royals will save us from the Mets-ocalypse! ;-)

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Schwarber's glove is made of ivy, I see.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

Cubs doesn't deserve to win this. If they tie this game in the next 3 innings I'll be surprised. Not because they would've scored 3 times but because they would've managed NOT to get scored on for two innings. Their defense is crap.

 

[DoktorEvil]

Schwarber's glove is made of ivy, I see.

Where's Moises alou when you need him.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

All the Cubs look so lost out there. It's like the high is gone and they all realized they're in the fucking NLCS right now.

That and they're actually playing a healthy team this time

 

[Ravage_Hydra]

Hate to say it but the Cubs are done.

I don't know

Spoiler

2004

comes to mind is not over till its over

 

[Gouty]

Is a three run lead a big deal in the NL?
