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

[Tim]

Thanks, Kelly, for swinging at the first pitch with a guy who has mostly lost the zone the past couple innings.

[Tim]

 

Was a change up no?

Yes it was. He stayed back on it very well, obviously.

 

Radar gun said 94

84 according to MLB.

fair enough

 

In other news, mlb.tv is being laggy as crap again tonight. Getting frustrating

[Tim]

[Tim]

Lackey back out to start the seventh with 97 pitches?

[TruffleShuffle]

 

i think david has hacked your account.

[Tim]

It's a good thing this lineup sucks, eh?

There's a place to go to get real time statcast data.

[Tryptamine]

Giving up hard contact just about every batter.

[Tim]

And...in comes Peralta. Keep your fingers crossed, kids.

[TruffleShuffle]

my confidence in peralta is not very high, to put it generously.

[Tim]

How was that a ball? He's bad enough, you don't have to screw him.

ha - gameday shows balls that bounce and then come up into the strike zone as being in the strike zone. :)

Joe really likes to give bad new veterans high leverage games to start off with, I dunno why he does this but he does it

 

Let the bad pitchers pitch in relatively meaningless spots to start off with, my opinion

[BigSlick]

Just bring in Strop

[TruffleShuffle]

i sure hope peralta has no part in this team in october, because he suuuuuuuuuuuuucks.

[Tim]

yep. Strop would make me feel a lot better here.

Nice job Miggy, I mean, Willson.

[Tim]

what the hell was Willson doing there? Thank you, Rizzo

Yeah Peralta seems like the type of guy who you think to yourself "that guy played for us?" when you are looking at the 2016 Cubs page on Baseball Reference in 10 years

[Omar]

Peralta is stressful to watch

[NotSoSober]

this bum has no reason to be in this game, let alone on the horsefeathering roster

[Tryptamine]

Good thing we tried to get that extra batter out of Peralta rather than just use Strop.

[UMFan83]

Why are we horsefeathering around with shitty relievers in close games? He should have been done after his first shaky AB

[Ding Dong Johnson]

hey, Joe. Peralta isn't good at throwing baseballs...

[Omar]

Who didn't see that coming? Send this bum to Iowa.
