6/17 | Cubs (Hendricks) @ Mets (Stroman) | 6:10pm | MARQ

[cl smooth]

I'll be at the game tonight so I'm starting the game thread! First time in a MLB ballpark since 9/2019 so these [expletive] better win!

 

Been on a Ultimate Breaks and Beats kick as of late so might as well drop some Syl Johnson:

 

 

Aside: Maya Rudolph's mom, Minnie Riperton, is on backing vocals.

 

Go Cubs!

[Omar]

Please don't get swept.

Looked it up to see if I was right and yes, Jason Heyward is pulling the ball on the ground more than any other player in baseball. I don't know how long his leash is, but this might be *gulp* the worst stretch of his career.

I somehow thought next year was Heywards final year.

I somehow thought next year was Heywards final year.

Wishful thinking.

[Schwarber Fan]

Stroman is lucky he pitches in this dumb ballpark.

[Andy]

Joc must lead baseball by a lot in home runs inexplicably not leaving the ballpark.

Someone just yelled out RIZZO, GET THE MODERNA!!!!

[Irrelevant Dude]

Is Strat-o-matic actually a thing that people are still doing? I have been playing Out of the Park Baseball for almost 20 years now, but I didn't realize Strat-o-matic was still around in any notable form.

Even if we finish this off man what a horrible last 5 days offensively. 2,2,2,3,2 runs last 5 games

[Bertz]

Craig seems off. My guess is more warn out than anything too serious. Hopefully the offense explodes for a week or two to give him a week on his ass to rest his arm

Dirty Craig in da house

If you told me we'd be up a game at the end of this series, I'd take it

This week definitely hurt the chances of the central getting a WC team, but whatever, go win the division.

I mean... it’s June. But NL West is getting the WC spots unless the Giants fall apart.

The west will definitely get 1 spot but if two of the teams get the best of the third it could keep the second spot in contention. I still expect the west to take both, but it's not a lock.
