6/1: Cubs (Chatwood) @ Mets (Wheeler), 6:10 CT NBCSC+

[Aaron_Kennelly]

There are so many great things in our culture that have originated in New York that I was having some difficulty deciding which New York institution to go with for this theme. I reached out to one of our good friends and a fellow member of the Cub family. Harry, your thoughts...

 

 

Yes, this is an SNL theme. It's going to be a good day. And do you know why?

 

 

Tyler Chatwood takes the mound in this one. He's walked a total of 11 batters without finishing the 3rd inning in his last two starts. It's been rough.

 

 

Tyler doesn't like throwing strikes. He throws a lot of balls.

 

 

Chatwood's walking 8.38 per 9 innings this year. His career average is 4.46.

 

 

Throw strikes, Tyler. It's that simple. Somehow he will stop walking so many people. It starts in this game. And if it doesn't and that feeling returns in the 2nd inning again...

 

 

Don't worry. We're still going to win this. And do you know why?

 

 

That's right. The dongs are coming out tonight. Poor Zack Wheeler. This guy is going to somehow give up 4 dongs. We'll all be dancing by the time this one's over.

Schwarber vs. a hurricane, who would win?

 

Hold on, hold on, hold on. The name of the hurricane is Hurricane Schwarber.

Yu even though you’re not starting, take a look in the mirror like MJ did...

 

 

And tell yourself...

Since SNL got started with many Chicago area natives

 

[Brian]

watching new and improved strike throwing machine Chatwood is going to be awesome.

I'm a huge fan of Gimenez catching Chatwood. Hell, even if he becomes his personal catcher that's fine.

J Hey up again hitting 2nd against a RHP.

[Sammy Sofa]

No Schwarber or Contreras against a righty makes the lineup top heavy pretty quickly.

No Schwarber is weird

When Joe asked Willie if he wanted to catch Chatwood tonight:

 

[Cubswin11]

I look forward to the takes when Chatwood does well tonight and how Giminez needs to be his catcher forever and also for the POS, mental midget Darvish when he comes back and also questioning Willy’s long term use to the team.

With tonight's theme, this is what comes to mind:
