This site has quite a few people shooting off about a man’s death because they have different opinions than him. I could care less about what you believe, but At the end of the day - how about respecting the fact that he was a father, son and friend to others. Oh yeah - and a human being, so either talk baseball or keep your hate filled opinions to yourself. It’s not cool - period. 
 

When I signed up here I was hoping to have discussions about the Cubs - ups, downs and anything else, but about BASEBALL. Not political nonsense. You are the reason this country is divisive. Grow up

Listen, I respect that you're seeking out Cubs talk and may want to take in news/political talk in moderation, I have to do that a lot too to avoid consuming too much outrage in my life.  But for one, talking about the situation as 'shooting off about a father,son,friend's death' is a laughable mischaracterization that normally means that you just don't want to hear negative talk about someone you have neutral/positive impressions of.  And more importantly, the conversation is about Shaw missing a fairly important BASEBALL game(basically 2, because he was only PH the day of Kirk's death).  There's no digging through the nooks and crannies of Shaw's life to find an association to cast judgment on, he stopped playing because of it! The idea that isn't worthy of conversation and potential judgment is beyond silly.

Santana is 2 for his last 2 after an 0-17 start

Haven't watched all weekend, did he just start wearing the high pants, maybe that what he needed . Lol

[UMFan83]

Shaw got enough boos that it was audible on the broadcast. By no means overwhelming but apparent

Nor should it matter, he went to a friend Memorial at the request of the man widow and got permission to go.

 

 

Agreed while I may not agree with all of Kirk’s politics, you have to respect Shaw for supporting a murdered persons family and getting lots of support/opinions from team leadership before doing it. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Holy horsefeathers 5 runs!

[chibears55]

There we go, Happ brings in 2 more

[mk49]

Scored more than 4 runs already.

[UMFan83]

In 1.1 innings the Cubs have scored just 2 less runs than they scored the entire series vs Cincinnati

[BKHoo]

Let’s go Cubs. Some big hits - that feels so good. 

[Guest]

oh boy horton is being pulled? hurt?

[Irrelevant Dude]

Let's hope this was the plan for Horton tonight?  But that would be hard to believe.

[We Got The Whole 9]

This makes me quite uneasy. 

[Neuby]

please let this have been the plan.

no I don’t 

[JHBulls]

For stat heads out there, that stat that this years Mets have the most HR’s in Mets team history is incorrect. The current team (215) is fourth on the list behind 2016 (218), 2017 (224) and 2019 (242). 

[UMFan83]

We’re screwed lol

Which is why I said it's hard to believe.  But it's possible they went in saying he was going to pitch 3 innings and stuck to that despite the low pitch count.

[Brian707]

Hopefully just blister or saving for playoffs with 4 run lead

I refuse to believe this is the plan and I'd like the organization to get their heads out of their asses with this totally unnecessary precaution. 

[squally1313]

They should have sent like 15 guys to go mourn Charlie Kirk for two weeks maybe 

[BKHoo]

Not watching the game now - do we not know why CH was pulled?!
