6/30 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Mets (Niese) 6:10 ESPN, CSN

Where has that pitch been all year?

[Gilby]

I feel bad for Starlin

Why exactly?

 

Not everyone hates him with a fiery passion.

I don't hate him. I don't even dislike him. Doesn't mean I know why someone would feel bad for him

 

He's struggling terribly and it's his first time being on a good team. He probably feels shitty about that. I dunno, I can see it I guess.

[Careless]

Hendricks and Sczur, your players of the game.

 

Nice work, pitchers.

[Gilby]

I'm surprised Maddon would go through three relievers in a 1-0 game and not use Grimm, but Motte keeps getting results.

[Schwarber Fan]

A win is a win! Break out the bats tomorrow.

[NotSoSober]

satisfying. motte still scares me though

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Total. Domination.

[Sammys Boombox]

That didn't even feel like a win, but I will most definitely take it. Bullpen is awesome. Offense, please wake up.

[Sammy Sofa]

And the crowd goes wild.

 

Yay.

[Sammy Sofa]

Man, I'm the opposite of some of you and I love seeing Motte go out these days.

[ARCubsFan]

I have no problem with going closer by committee the rest of the year. Eventually though I think Neil Ramirez is the guy that we should be seeing close games. He has the stuff to do so.

Agreed. He's off my "pitchers that make me nervous when they come in" list

Meanwhile, 7/9 of the lineup is on my "hitter that makes me angry when they come up with runners on base" list.

Yeah, it really feels like the bullpen and offense slowly flip-flopped each other.

 

YOU CAN GO OUT TOGETHER, YOU CRAZY KIDS.

No matter how hard he throws (96.8 tonight) it seems like only a matter of time before his peripherals catch up to him if all he throws is 4-seamers. But the one he got the K on tonight was nasty - 90 MPH, either a hard slider or a ridiculous cutter. If he could command that pitch regularly, he could be tough to hit.

[Sammy Sofa]

Isn't that basically all he did with the Cardinals?

He doesn't have the pixiedust anymore
