    I think leading off with two lefties in a row is generally pretty dumb, but Matheny doesn’t seem to belIeve in LOOGYs, so it probably doesn’t matter.

    Rizzo the Rat,

    I am guessing they start an hour late, that’s all.

    Perfect. Leaves just enough time to watch Ireland concede a goal or two to Italy and end their Euro hopes and then I can switch over without guilt.

    Three straight games of making a sack of dogshit look like Cy Young out there. Can’t wait until this happens in October.

    I’m not able to watch, but a bunch of pitches for Arrieta again. I miss the Arrieta that was efficient and dominating.

    His “stuff” is still pretty unhittable, but his command has been lacking. I blame Montero’s back.

    3 of Arrieta’s last 6 starts, including today, he will have failed to go more than 5 innings. This is easily the worst we’ve seen from him since 2014. His worst is still good or decent, which is crazy.

    It’s OK. They won’t be facing sacks of dogshit in October, just Cy Young.

    I have just been listening, but is it an exceptionally wide strike-zone today?

    Javy got called out on a “strike” a few inches off the plate. Otherwise I haven’t seen anything too egregious.

    Perkins,

    I saw that replay, then looked at gameday, and the ump called the same pitch on the other side for Arrieta. So I wondered. Arrieta seemed to have been missing down.

    So one of Jake’s runs was unearned? Error or some bullshit? I forgot they were playing.

    EDIT: I see the play now and the throwing error

    Molina hit a sharp grounder to Bryant. Some Cardinal had a huge lead and tried to score. Bryant’s throw was shitty and when Montero tried to spin back to tag the runner, he appeared to roll over his ankle. Then Willson came in and Grimm immediately started pouring gasoline on the situation.

    Fourth time a commercial break during gameplay in the gameday app. I am done with this. What a shitty way to leave Wrigley.

    SK,

    Their app is buggy as fuck. I think in the first year or so they did it it seemed to work okay, but once they got serious about adding ads in it pretty much has been garbage. Some days it’s fine, some days it doesn’t work at all.

    josh,

    Weird. I have the occasional problem, but think it’s really good. Most of the time I don’t have issues on my iPhone or Apple TV. I don’t remember the last time I tried to use the desktop browser version though.

    dmick89,

    Shit that bugs me is like if its the last out of the inning, they don’t update it and you don’t know what happened unless you comb back over the logs. They often won’t show the last pitch of an inning. I’ve seen several times where the current batter didn’t update and then I realized it hap udated below and shit was out of order. The audio broadcast yesterday was a full minute or more behind everything else, including slow-ass gameday. Maybe I’m nitpicking, but shit like that drives me crazy.

    I use the iPhone and Windows PC app for audio and video and usually have no problem. There have been a couple games this year where the audio feed fucked up. I also have the Apple TV and PS3 apps — the first one works great while the second blows (although it may be due to poor bandwidth to that device in my house).

    The Gameday itself is something I rarely use and never really enjoyed. I’d rather just watch a feed of play by play in text or follow on Twitter or something since it is so frustrating.

    dmick89,

    I think that you’re right that the app seems to work better than the web version (I have android), but my phone doesn’t stay on and the battery dies etc etc. so it’s much less convenient at work.

    I thought he retired? And died?
