IGT, 2024-06-23, Sunday in the Park with Cubs

[Frayed Knot]

Jeff McNeal no longer knows how to hit a baseball.

[Edgy MD]

Hit batsman is setting the Cubs up to come back.

[Edgy MD]

Can we just get all baseball broadcasters together in a room and get them to never mention Steve Bartman's name again?

[Edgy MD]

98 TO BELLINGER IS STRIKE THREE!!!

I'm in an ESPN documentary about Bartman. Listed in the credits and everything.



Bellenger was up to 12 pitches in that at bat!

[Frayed Knot]

That's Cowboy-ing up right there!

[Edgy MD]

And Mendoza is leaving him in to face Suzuki.



Gosh.

[Edgy MD]

And Bader pockets the flare to end the sixth!



Big game players!

[MFS62]

102 pitches through six innings.

We'll be waiting for a call to the bullpen.

Good job.

Later

[Edgy MD]

Coming up empty with the baggies filled. Not cool.



Nine outs for the pen.

[Frayed Knot]

For a (semi-) comfortable lead, they've failed to cash in more than a few scoring chances.

[Edgy MD]

And there goes half the lead.



Morel

Murders

Mets

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Would have felt better with another run or two during that previous inning.

And, judging by his face get-up, he's also a candidate to replace Peter Criss.

[Edgy MD]

Mets haven't used Nuñez much of late. This has been a bear of an inning for him.

[Frayed Knot]

Lordy, Lordy that one went a long way!!

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Vientos boom!

[Edgy MD]

"Vientos, you've been oh-for-your-last-14."



"Oh, OK, I think I'll hit one 451 feet, then."

[Edgy MD]

This is trending toward coming down to Diaz.

[Edgy MD]

HOLY SHIT!!! DIAZ!!!!



WTF!!!!

[Frayed Knot]

So this is an ejection AND a suspension.

[kcmets]

Diaz tossed. Details at eleven.

[Edgy MD]

AND a loss of the roster spot.



And oddly enough, it's Drew Smith who has clean hands.

[Gwreck]

This can't keep happening. Either stop cheating or cheat better please.

[Edgy MD]

The first out comes quickly enough.

[Frayed Knot]

One pitch, one out.

So far so good.

[Edgy MD]

Morel

Makes Out

Meekly

[kcmets]

This game is going to end eventually. Right?

[Edgy MD]

Diekman.



Golly, Batman.
