That's managerial malpractice pitching to Nico in that spot

[JHBulls]

Hell yes! 

Not a pretty win, but they got there in the end.

suck it mets, I hope you lose 50 in a row, will never forgive you and daniel murphy for 2015 or 2004 and victor diaz

[Jason Ross]

[BKHoo]

Why would they pitch to Nico? Their manager - what are you thinking?  You walk him and set up the DB. 
 

We will take it!! 

[Derwood]

I turned the game on in the 9th

You're welcome

[Papa Cub]

I Love Nico Hoerner - just does all the right things a baseball player should do!

The biggest punishment that anyone can give the New York Mets is they are the New York Mets.

It's probably the right call. Kimbrel doesn't get ground balls (he's on the very high fly ball% train) and Busch is a LHH. He's struggled for a few weeks but it's not a great matchup. Go after the guy who doesn't fly out deep very often and hope you get a ground ball or a pop up that way. 

Sometimes you're stuck between a bad place and a bad place. The Mets got stuck there. 

Good on the Cubs. Good sweep. 

[UMFan83]

Sweep! 🧹
