7/19 - Mets (Syndergaard) @ Cubs (Arrieta) 6:05 CDT ESPN (out-of-market), CSN-C, SNY

[Schwarber Fan]

Thanks terry.

[Andy]

Would love to see Ross pinch hit. This is why you have 3 catchers

 

As I type that though I realize they'd probably walk him and force an Arrieta decision

[UMFan83]

Thanks terry.

 

Eh. A lefty vs Miggy is probably just as bad as a tired Syndergaard.

 

Now if Joe PH Javy here...

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Well at least Syndergaard is out of the game.

[raw]

Why not Baez?

[BigSlick]

i guess I should just start rooting for us to strand runners in scoring position and 0 outs in some sort of Schroedingerian attempt to make it fail

[squally1313]

This team completely goes to [expletive] when a runner gets into scoring position

 

.771 OPS with RISP, .776 with bases empty, but yes, recently I get the same impression.

 

You'll never guess who leads the league in OPS with RISP.

[UMFan83]

Why not Baez?

 

My guess is a) with Jake on deck they'll just walk him and b) joe doesn't want to use him and lose his potential defense later on

I meant tonight but thanks for the reality check :lol:

[Andy]

Just one time it'd be cool if Montero didn't horsefeathering suck

[UMFan83]

So we've had RISP in 5 of the 6 innings, 4 of those times with less than 2 outs and we've scored 1 run and that was because of a passed ball and error.

This game is starting to become irritating

[bcl412]

Is that fiedorowicz guy any worse than Montero at this point?

[raw]

A makes sense.

B, not an issue. Just move Contreras behind the plate and Zobrist to LF (Javy to 3B, LaStella to 2B also).

[Cubswin11]

Montero is horsefeathering terrible

We're 20 games over.

[Schwarber Fan]

Lol @ Rene Rivera with 2 hits.

[Sammys Boombox]

Why is Rivera getting hits?

[Schwarber Fan]

Based on ESPN's K-zone, home plate umpire is doing a damn good job tonight.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

horsefeathers yea, Jake.

[BigSlick]

Good job Jake, a great start to the second half

[UMFan83]

Phew. Jake a little less efficient after the 4th inning but still getting results. Guessing he will be allowed to lead off this inning and pitch the 8th

Gotta love outliers

[Sammys Boombox]

It will suck if we find a way to lose this game, but have to feel great about the team's performance today especially Jake.
