6/23 Cubs (Hamels) vs Mets (deGrom) 1:20 ABC7

[soccer10k]

Much like the Cubs, it would appear my Game Thread starting skills peaked in 2016.

 

Hope this series ends like the White Sox series did with the Cubs lighting up the opposing team's ace.

 

Go Cubs!

Since I mentioned 2016, I went back and looked at some of the threads from the 2016 playoffs. It put me in a much better mood. You guys should try it.

On the 35th Anniversary of The Sandberg Game, I expect nothing but a turd performance from this team.

 

Even if it wasn’t deGrom pitching it’d still be a turd showing

Also, Cubs activated Tony Barnette and optioned Rowan Wick to AAA

Tarp coming on the field but no rain forecast until after 3pm. WTF?

 

[Soul]

Ok back in business.

[Schwarber Fan]

WTF Rizzo?

[Sammy Sofa]

Caratini is not good.

[TMan92]

Pitchers need to get it done I guess

[BigSlick]

guys i'm afraid that Victor Caratini horsefeathering sucks

[TMan92]

Almora gets the same pitch four times. Should have sent Bote.

[Derwood]

It's official: every Cubs starting pitcher is better than Daniel Descalso.

[Schwarber Fan]

Lol Almora. Great adjustment bud

[Sammy Sofa]

They wanted to get Almora's AB over with ASAP.

[BigSlick]

the thing about sending players with 2 outs is that you only have to be right ~33% of the time for it to be worth it. so even if someone is dead to rights, if you think he's gonna be safe 1/3 of the time it makes sense to try to score because more than 2/3 of the time the next guy is gonna make an out anyway

[Schwarber Fan]

Better hold them at one. Degrom looks unhittable going forward.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Alonso is a franchise changing type of talent

[Jaxbro]

Any Cub that wants to go all Pete Alonzo for a month, by all means go ahead

[Derwood]

Neither of the pitches Alonso has hit out this series have been strikes

[TMan92]

He’s the Schwarber we should have gotten

[Schwarber Fan]

I believe he’s hit three now

[TMan92]

Chili must be laughing his ass off in the other dugout.

[Derwood]

deGrom is just going to pound that outside corner until people stop swinging

[Schwarber Fan]

This team is just exhausting. Pretty much same crap every day.
