6/2: Cubs (Montgomery) @ Mets (deGrom), 6:15 CT FOX

[UMFan83]

I was gonna say, if Joey Bats single handedly win 2 games against the Cubs with 2 different teams within a 3 week period...

[Andy]

Callaway should be letting Robles hit here. Don't understand this move.

The end is near guys.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Here comes Lobaton’s revenge from the NLDS pick off.

[abuck1220]

huh. Let’s see if the rarely used and controversial “pinch hit for a relief pitcher when you have a chance to win the game” strategy pays off for the Mets.

[UMFan83]

Also, if only 4 relievers were available tonight, shame on management for not sending Rosario down for Hancock.

 

For whatever it’s worth, it would’ve had to have been Maples or Zastryzny unless you really wanted to push the phantom DL stuff with Rosario.

 

I’m fine with either if the other path leads to Joe having a minor league pitcher hit with a runner on 3rd and 1 out in the 13th inning

[soccer10k]

Really glad they wasted the 2-2 pitch 3 feet high.

[abuck1220]

damn I kinda wanted the pinch hitter batting for a reliever to win it

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Luke Farrell...

 

[UMFan83]

Is there a pitcher that Joe is holding on to for a save situation? Duensing I’m guessing?

[Rex Buckingham]

There should be a special DL for relievers who have to throw a ton of pitches in extras. I almost feel bad for Farrell having to go down after this one.

[BigSlick]

please joe, have mercy on us and poor luke farrell

 

luke farrell has now thrown as many pitches as mike montgomery

[Brian]

homeboy's name is BUDDY BAUMAN

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Buddy Baumann

[Gilby]

The decision to take Montgomery out after 6 innings looks especially weird now knowing the state of our bullpen

[BigSlick]

there is no such person named 'buddy baumann' you are making him up

[Brian]

WHAT HOW IS THAT A STRIKE

[Jaxbro]

Heyward was the only regular that didn’t strikeout. Both Bryant andAddy have 4 k. A guy named Luke Farrell has gone all Eddie Butler. And beer sales stopped 7 innings ago. FML if I’m at that game

[abuck1220]

lol this horsefeathering umpire

[Sammys Boombox]

Screw this umpire. Don’t give this guy any help. He’s going to walk batters, but you’re giving him that crap.

[soccer10k]

horsefeathers off on that, ump.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Ump giving Buddy the “edge”

[Brian]

justice

[soccer10k]

Schwarber dong incoming.

[UMFan83]

What was the reason we were saying the Mets only had 3 relievers available? This is their 6th...
