5/13: NY Mets (Harvey) @ CUBS (Hammel) 7:05, WGN/ESPN

Russell is getting pretty slick over there.

[Gilby]

We're gonna need a dong. That may be tough in these conditions, but we're not going to bunch hits together either.

[Guest]

Hammel's pitch economy tonight is amazing considering the start he had

[DiamondMind]

Oh my god Coghlan is slow, that bunt was perfect

[Guest]

Bryant would have beat it out.

[Guest]

Oh my god Coghlan is slow, that bunt was perfect

 

You can only laugh at this point

[Guest]

If Bryant really is 3.9 to first, that's kinda crazy good speed.

[ctcf]

I really wish Coghlan could be a platoon guy again

[DiamondMind]

Speed is easily #1 on the things I underestimated Bryant on.

[Guest]

if you can't beat that out, then why are you even bunting

[Gilby]

Oh my god Coghlan is slow, that bunt was perfect

 

He's in the Starlin Castro category of "surprisingly extremely slow"

[Guest]

I might trade any three baseball players in the minor or majors not named Bryant and Rizzo for Harvey. Man, he makes it look easy.

[DiamondMind]

This Harvey person is kind of good you guys

[Guest]

Here's the scouting scale for time to first from the right side:

 

Home To First (Right Side):

 

· 8: 4.0 seconds

· 7: 4.1 seconds

· 6: 4.2 seconds

· 5: 4.3 seconds

· 4: 4.4 seconds

· 3: 4.5 seconds

· 2: 4.6 seconds

 

3.9 from the right side is Billy Hamilton fast.

[DiamondMind]

One runs gonna be enough to win this game isn't it

[Schwarber Fan]

Well, that's probably game.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Oh [expletive]. This could be the ballgame

[DiamondMind]

Kind of shocked the IF isnt playing in

[DiamondMind]

Man. That seems like a gimme run.

[Tryptamine]

Very much disagree with Bryant's positioning on that hit. Murphy does nothing but go the other way, you need to be near the line.

[DiamondMind]

Ok that was pretty heads up by the Mets. Ugh.

[Guest]

that is not a dead ball, are you kidding me?

[DiamondMind]

that is not a dead ball, are you kidding me?

 

Yea I dont understand the rule there...why can the runner advance in that spot, isnt it a dead ball?

[Guest]

Hammel has not been as sharp this inning.

[Tryptamine]

Joc Pederson hits HR #10, raising his already absolutely ridiculous 40%HR/FB.
