Payback Time IGT - Cubs @ Mets 7/1/15

Put deGrom in to PR for Flores and let him stay in at 2B if you tie it up.
I DARE YA, Terry.

We're a long way from there, but this game could end up in the hands of our pitcher/pinch-hitter.

SWING THE FUCKING BAT PLAWECKI. WTF.

[Frayed Knot]

When in doubt, look at three straight strikes with the bat on your shoulder.

Send him down. He's not ready.

Go get me Recker.

On the last one he had to be guessing fastball, and with 2 strikes on him he should be prepared for anything. It actually looked to be a very hittable pitch. A good hitter at least tries to foul that off. I'm kinda disgusted.

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, that Grimm guy hadn't gotten close to the plate with one of his breaking balls and suddenly he breaks off a beauty when he's on the brink of loading the bases.
But all that shows is that Plawecki shouldn't have taken two fastballs earlier in the count.

AND WHY THE FUCK IS TEJADA BATTING SECOND? HE HAS A .646 OPS. THIS IS RIGHT AT HIS CAREER NORM. HOW MANY MORE YEARS TO WE HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THIS BEFORE WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS GUY FUCKING SUCKS?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yeah, fuck that guy.

[Edgy MD]

But the alternative for second is whom? There's a team-wide slump going on.

I'm more concerned with Granderson batting leadoff.
