lots of good contact
cubs hitters have done their homework, but its good to get runs early in case Grom settles in

it wont, cause it works. Almora would have struck out in that spot

seeth

>Can only score with le juiced ball man
'Solve' Hamels indeed

Mets offense would be good if we didnt have Cano shitting up the middle of the lineup and keeping our best young hitter out of position or on the bench.

He honestly had no idea

He's a Jew Yorker, he knows nothing.
Like making his buildings plane resistant. Or having an attractive sky line.

lifelongs are sad, bitter, cancerous faggots. I love it.

>he knows nothing

kek and you think skyline is two words

baez OWNED by the deGROMINATOR slider!

Only four more years.

But you're the one in this thread

Why the fuck would you trade for him post ped violation

I didn't fucking trade for him, why are you asking me

>if we didnt have Cano
>I didn't fucking trade for him
>we

And give up your best prospect in the process. Just absorbing Cano's contract should have been enough to get Diaz. Instead the Mets gave up their best prospect just so the Mariners would eat more money and take back Bruce/Swarzak. And the Mets would literally be a better team if they had Bruce instead of Cano and just shelled out the money for Kimbrel.

it's a figure of speech you pathetic goon

The fun of rooting for the Mets is rooting for them in spite of all the retarded things they do.

classic al-moora

launch angle babby, and teams are figuring that whole shtick out. he's a career .237 hitter - nobody rated him until he started hitting homers
Im happy for La Stella - starting and thriving in LA - but exchanging him for De Scalso was bad in hindsight

Now see here good sir, I have warned you a many times about posting this here slanderous image of Sir Cishek.
You must be compelled to desist the scurrilous activity and campaign of lies.

What's wrong with posting images of your relief pitchers?

>your
I see your little game, you won't get away with it.

>Im happy for La Stella - starting and thriving in LA - but exchanging him for De Scalso was bad in hindsight
The fact the Cubs gave La Stella away for nothing is one of the biggest blunders of Theo.
I'm still betting that he was the one who cheated with Zobrits' wife. There's no other logical explanation for why it happened.

BASED

of course cusb fans won't complain about juiced balls now

Lucky number MAD

I can understand why Baez is pumped. Losing to a shitty ass Mets team. Cubs should have been able to easily just score 10 runs every game this series, but they suck right now.

BACK ON THE MENU

as long as all the balls are juiced, it's fine by we

I hate Mickey Rat so god damn much

Why have a clearly out of form Lugo face Baez? With 2 on bases then recall him when the damage is done. Am I missing something here?

They overreacted to a single season dip in power from a part time player. If you look at most of LaStella's career, I don't think what he's doing this year is some huge shock. He slugged .472 two years ago.

Lugo is their guy. If he is fresh coming in, you've got to let him try to work out of trouble. You can't just pitch everyone any time there is some traffic or you'll burn the pen out.

Jeff Wilpon is the dumbest motherfucker alive

am i gay? yes

You must love your cubbies

Where were you when the Mest were reduced to Who tier banter after Baez BTFO?

Because bleached Mexican flag man, the Mest don't have a bullpen and Lugo was fucking retard for throwing a hanging slider to Baez when he was 0-2.

Fair enough. New to watching baseball but I've taken a liking to it. It's comfy as fuck.

Heyward running AMOK on these bases

>Russell in
Welp, hope a 2 run lead is enough for Strope

His BA jumped up like .040 just in this series.

Looks like Strope decided not to suck today.
Nice

[W]
This was not a good series for the Cubs, but Baez is called El Mago for a reason and can change the tide of the game with one swing of his wand.

Better luck next time Mest.

And they don't even stick around until the end even though they were leading for a while.
New York is filled with cowards.
