    Did they seriously give Heyward a 3-0 green light with the go ahead run on first
  2. UMFan83
    Just started pouring in Wheaton. Give it 30-40 mins until it hits wrigley
  3. UMFan83
    He can’t even bunt well
  4. UMFan83
    Only 2 more innings of deGrom until we get an inning without him

    SchwarberFan wants you all to know that it’s going to rain very hard soon in the vicinity of Wrigley Field but he’s a little shy so he’s only replying to posts with cryptic indirect messages regarding the upcoming weather situation

    In the last 2 innings, the Mets have gotten 4 hits to what my phone calls “shallow left” or “shallow left center”. All to lefthanded hitters. Please don’t tell me those are all due to shifting
  7. UMFan83
    That’s what happens when you shift the horsefeathering pitcher
  8. UMFan83
    Oh well at least Brandon Kintzler is in to give us some of our night back probably.
  9. UMFan83
    67 through 5. He’s going 7 at least
  10. UMFan83
    By my count, Murphy’s error cost Cole 19 pitches
  11. UMFan83
    Dammit Cole don’t walk Austin Jackson to bring up their one dangerousish bat
  12. UMFan83
    daniel murphy pisseth me off

    [expletive] Murphy That was brutal turning an inning ending DP into a free baserunner.
  14. UMFan83
    19 pitches through 2. That’s not...good
  15. UMFan83
    I almost forgot about his defensive exploits against the Cubs. At least him and Billy Hamilton can’t team up to destroy us anymore
  16. UMFan83
    Hitting deGrom is hard enough without multiple moderately good defensive plays
  17. UMFan83
    Happ, LF LaStella, 2B Baez, SS Contreras, C Bote 3B Heyward, RF Caratini, 1B Mills, P Almora, CF Is my guess unless they are planning on calling someone up

    2019 is a club option at $19m. So, he may not have a choice. He's saying if the Cubs bought out his contact and tried to negotiate a club friendly deal to bring him back. Good point Tim. If he continued to pitch like an ace the rest of this year, I'd be open to a 2 year deal with a team option for year 3 with a nice buyout, but if he wants 3 years guaranteed, I'd just pick up the option for next year.

    Beat him in July, we can beat him again* *by beat him I mean try to get him out of the game after 7 innings max and hope Cole matches him nearly pitch for pitch like he did Scherzer.
  20. UMFan83
    many people have been doing so for years.
  21. UMFan83
    I was just coming to make a similar post but was asking whether the Rangers would throw a fit it we just declined his option and signed him 1 year/$14m to avoid the extra $6m, but I think if you structured it the way you suggested it would make the Cubs look less bad and would benefit both the Cubs and Hamels. You might need to make the buyout 3-4m though just to throw Hamels a bone vs. exploring the market and potentially getting more dollars and/or years from another team.
  22. UMFan83
    you know he's finishing with 32 HR and 109 RBI again.
  23. UMFan83
    Phillies would be a little scary with Nola and a motivated Jake pitching 3 of the 5 games (assuming 1 is used in the WC game, 4 of 5 if its a 2 v 3 matchup). That said I'd least worry about our pitching staff against their offense. Colorado is a winnable matchup, I just hate the idea of 2 games at Coors Milwaukee is my pick but we could beat any team in the NL so whatever bring it on.
  24. UMFan83
    Negativity always works!
  25. UMFan83
    I think he threw 6 straight balls to start the inning but recovered to get Reyes on a short chopper and Plawecki’s single was very soft. If Bruce didn’t historically hit lefties terribly I don’t think he would have been pulled
