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

[Sammys Boombox]

So, are the Mets truly limited to 3 relievers, because he just threw 27 pitches.

[BigSlick]

good lord this is legal torture

[Soul]

Dave Kingman. I’m done. Happ needs to go.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

So, this is like my first game thread appearance in over a year... what did I miss?

[Andy]

I didn't know how much I wanted to beat deGrom without a single one of our top, like, 6 pitchers until now. Please do it

ian happ is not free swinging you morons. he has a 14% walk rate.

 

A 40% K rate is so obscene, I can hardly blame them for thinking that

jesus christ i had not been paying attention and just looked it up. 39.7% thats insane

Holy horsefeathers. David was being a wee bit selective there.

yeesh you show up for the first time in god knows how long with this awful take?

uh, no.

 

you don't walk 14% of the time by being "free swinging"

 

it just means he swings and misses a lot (aside from all the deep counts that being not free swinging gets him into)

I believe it has gone down over the last couple of weeks too

Was there any doubt?

 

I didn’t think anyone cared about how long between posts to be honest.

[UMFan83]

So do we pretty much just have Duensing and Rosario available? Assuming Cishek, Strop and Morrow are not going to pitch tonight

Oh, OK; THAT makes a 40% k rate less appalling.

[UMFan83]

Hey I was told there would only be 3 relievers tonight

it's just strange to not post in what seems like years (i'm sure you've popped up a time or two) and then immediately post a bad take like wanting a guy who has been a 20% above league average hitter and is on pace for a 3+ win season gone

[Brian]

Do we lead in pitchers batting in games they didn't start? Is that something that can be looked up?

did anyone say anything about how appalling a 40% k rate is?

 

the tv booth keeps talking about how much ian happ loves to swing often and has called him free swinging like 5x when he is not.

[soccer10k]

Farrell should take until he either walks or strikes out.

[David]

did that just happen? that was stupid. boo.

[UMFan83]

The worst thing about the Cubs striking out so much tonight is that Jesse Rogers is going to be on the warpath

[CaliforniaRaisin]

I'm calling the 11th inning for when John Smoltz starts saying, "Actually, Hitler had some good ideas..."

 

"Robles is now pitching for the Mets. You know, his name rhymes with Goebbels."

[UMFan83]

Is Bryant going to get double digit HRs this year?
