If I make it to a Tuesday game in the new few weeks I'll sneak you something better, lol. I might actually try this coming Tuesday, though it's the last day of school so we might 'celebrate'.



The care of beer at stadiums is rumored to be pretty terrible, though it shouldn't have skunked in a can unless you poured it into a clear glass, and then it's technically on you.







looks like deGrom has mostly been switching off catchers, no discernible pattern.



going backwards for Nido's last starts



Lucchesi, Peterson, deGrom, STroman, Stroman, deGrom, Peterson, Lucchesi, Stroman.

Cubs rather tardy on posting a lineup, gonna stop checking... maybe Stock doesn't exist.

[Edgy MD]

Cubs apparently delayed in the hope that Kris Bryant could answer the bell.

2. Joc Pederson (L) LF


4. Anthony Rizzo (L) 1B


6. Javier Baez ® SS


8. Ian Happ (S) CF


10. Patrick Wisdom ® 3B


12. Rafael Ortega (L) RF


14. Eric Sogard (L) 2B


16. José Robotron (S) C


18. Robert Stock (L) P

I haven't seen Robert Stock that much since Unsolved Mysteries and i assumed he was dead at the present time.

[kcmets]

It's 7:10 PM, time to get your Jake on!!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Earache my eye

[Frayed Knot]

[oldman]When I played and we got hit in the ear, we got up and ran to 3rd. The players are such wimps these days[/oldman]

[Frayed Knot]

There's your run Jacob

[Lefty Specialist]

We're.

Not.

Worthy.

Truth Serum I believe it was called from a brewery not far from me. Too much.

[Edgy MD]

The slider is looking a little slurvy tonight.



I don't mean that in a bad way. There's just more vertical drop.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Eddie Kranepool in the stands to watch deGrom.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah I saw Eddie Krane in the krowd. That couldn't possibly possibly have been Buddy (?!) next to him, right?

[Frayed Knot]

More pitches than you'd prefer to see (>50 thru 3) ... but that's a bit like looking for blemishes on the Mona Lisa

[batmagadanleadoff]

Oh brother! Now what?

.Maybe. That was also my fleeting thought.

[dinosaur jesus]

This is insane. But I can't see him going more than five unless he brings his pitch count way down.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, incredible to see somebody this dominant while he's hurting.



Block looked demoralized at the plate.

[Frayed Knot]

The Dom/Pete HR celebration, which we've seen a bunch of times now, is totally dorky

[Lefty Specialist]

My deGrom fear appears to be coming true. Dammit.

[bmfc1]

Crap. CRAP! And he got 3 runs, too. This is hindsight but perhaps he shouldn't have made this start and gone on the IL 5 days ago.

Sean Reid-Foley's mustache says, "If you don't straighten it out, young man, it's military school for you!"

[bmfc1]

Szapucki is pitching tonight so he's on schedule to pitch in 5 days but he hasn't been great tonight.

7 of the 9 SYR players tonight, including Conforto, have played for the Mets this season.

[Edgy MD]

I think of guys pulling themselves out of a game when they're pitching brilliantly, I think of J.R. Richard in his last year or two.

[dinosaur jesus]

It feels like DeGrom has been things his body really isn't meant to do. Maybe he needs to dial it down somehow and give up being Superman. DeGrom 2018 should be enough for anyone.

[Lefty Specialist]

Shoulder soreness. Pretty vague.

We're fucked

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

This is stupid

[Edgy MD]

Can you imagine Cubs fans watching this guy pitch?

[Edgy MD]

Dom got lucky. The last time he checked his swing with the bases loaded, it was a 1-2-3.

[dinosaur jesus]

Stock got lucky. Bad strike three call.
