6/30 Cubs (Lackey) v. Mets (Matz) 6:10, CSN;MLBN

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I sense the board is starting to turn on Heyward.

[Bigloubaby]

Not only does he not deliver, but it's another weak, pathetic ground ball to the pitcher

[TruffleShuffle]

and Heyward continues to be almost entirely useless when he's not in the outfield.

 

he's lefthanded, doesn't hit lefthanded pitching very well, and was put in to face a tough lefthanded reliever.

I remember when he was on Atlanta and hitting like 15-20 HRs a year I couldn't believe he wasn't a 30-35 HR hitter. Now every HR he's hit there year has been a complete shock to me and him hitting a HR doesn't cross my mind as possible results of his ABs.

 

Which is unfair I know because he's better than this and is good even if he's not hitting HRs but whatever

He always starts slow. Until we signed him he didn't horsefeathering suck all the way through June.

[Schwarber Fan]

I hate the horsefeathering Mets. They aren't a good team.

[Derwood]

Is it worth rebooting this stupid feed? Heyward just came up to bat on this thing. This is ridiculous

[BigSlick]

This at bat isn't emblematic of everything, but boy we've seen so much soft contact from Heyward

He's not like Ryan Howard bad against lefties but I would really like Joe to consider not hitting him 2nd against lefties or at least really tough ones

I'm tired of waiting. He needs to horsefeathering hit.

[Cubswin11]

Hopefully a few days off during the ASB are good for Heyward to get away from the game for a bit.

I'm tired of waiting. He needs to [expletive] hit.

 

It's possible he's going to have a down year like he did after his rookie one. But he probably should bounce back to be a productive offensive guy.

[Cubswin11]

We are scoring at least 3 in the 9th

Even on the home runs he had hit this year, it seems like only 1 or 2 of them have been really well hit balls, with the other ones barely clearing the fence. When we faced St. Louis in the playoffs last year, it felt like every Heyward at bat was a potential extra base hit. Now it is single or nothing, and more often than not it is nothing.

Why was that pitch a strike to Baez and a ball to Flores??

[UMFan83]

I hate the [expletive] Mets. They aren't a good team.

 

Oh well good teams lose to less good teams. That said when you have a 2-0 lead on an injured matz 2 batters into the game and 2 of the next 3 opposing starters are deGrom and Syndergard you definitely want to try to win this one

Believe it or not, he's got a higher OPS against lefties this year.

Love reading on this forum but this is a joke

Just in time to opt out

I turned a month ago

Because umps suck.

[Irrelevant Dude]

I know some other dumb stuff has happened this game, but I still can't wrap my mind around what the Cubs thought they saw in Peralta.

[UMFan83]

Crazy that every starter remaining for both teams in this series has an ERA this year under 2.60

If they end up losing its more just disappointing because it felt like they really didn't have to lose. It wasn't bad luck or anything. It was just using a really shitty pitcher in a high leverage situation and then letting the shitty pitcher continue to pitch.

[Tryptamine]

WHy in the hell is Montero hitting for Almora?
