4/21 Cubs (Zach) v. Mets (David) at 6:40 on MSN

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Davies sucks and the Cubs suck. They got lucky the Mets and umpires sucked just a little bit more.

[abuck1220]

duffy’s 28% GIDP rate seems pretty bad.

[UMFan83]

Note to upcoming Cubs FAs: you are supposed to play better the year before free agency not much worse

[17 Seconds]

It still makes me laugh that theo randomly gave bote 25 mil

Bote is perfectly fine at the money he makes

[Tim]

Bulls are down 30 to Cleveland.

 

Hawks are getting dominated by Nashville. Again.

 

I'm not sure what the Cubs did to the BABIP gods, but sports would be more fun right now if they'd apologize.

Bote is one of many Theo signings that didn’t meet expectations. Theo was consistent.

What were the expectations? Other than he’s an over qualified backup/second division starter? The only real issue with Bote is that his flaws are the flaws of most of the other players on the team, not that he isn’t worth the money.

[Tim]

LAY OFF DAVID BOTE!!!

[UMFan83]

Finally making a huge withdrawal from the BABIP bank

[Derwood]

Scoring without homers? Stop the madness!!

[UMFan83]

7 runs scored in an inning with 0 extra base hits, only 2 solid hits and 1 BB

[TruffleShuffle]

that half inning really was peak mets.

[Irrelevant Dude]

That last half inning really makes you appreciate having a quality defense that doesn't kick the ball all over the diamond.

[CubinNY]

That ball went far.

[CubinNY]

Mets play crappy D.

[abuck1220]

I called the crap out of that Alonso HR. Back to back RHHs and premier players for Brothers, velocity down a little working back to back nights with his injury history

 

Great little bounceback K with 3 sliders against a quality RHH in Davis

 

having him face alonso for the second time in 24 hrs was asking for trouble.

[CubinNY]

Luck is with the Cubs tonight.

[UMFan83]

So the Cubs have scored 10 runs in 5 innings and only have one XBH which was a bloop double (right? That’s what my scores app says)

[Cubswin11]

Lol at a standing ovation for Almora. Also, not all Heroes wear capes.

 

[Cubswin11]

KB is locked the horsefeathers in. Holy hell those were MVP KB level walks he’s worked tonight.

[Cubswin11]

Extensions for everyone

[Tim]

I want 20

[Tim]

So the Cubs are up to 24th in live fWAR with a total of 1.3 across their entire offense.

 

Bryant has 0.9 on his own. Contreras has over half the total at 0.7. Baez & Rizzo each have 0.4. The rest of the team is at -1.1

 

They're taking the "stars & scrubs" approach a bit too far.

[Tim]

LOL

 

Nice 4 pitch inning from Mills
