Hey they might actually take advantage of their iffy bullpen this time.

Oh Jesus. Niese?

 

[DoktorEvil]

Here come our hero, Bartolo Niese

 

[3N16MA]

When does Syndergaard get his Head & Shoulders commercial?

 

[lazybones18]

there's still life

 

[Frozenprince]

We weren't gonna keep these bats down forever, that just wasn't happening.

Thor still pitched great after going on 3 days after pitching 100 pitches in the pen and on the field last time up.

 

[minx]

We got a run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5 feet from HR. Two if Schwarber walks. 3 with stolen HR. We need more thing to break our way.

 

[zroid]

Niese huh...

edit: Niese.

 

[3N16MA]

MLB.TV is so far behind.

EDIT: fixed with a restart.

Jose Bautista @JoeyBats19: My thoughts on @MLBNetwork and their commentator #JoeMagrane comments last night:

Prejudiced, distorted, inequitable and irresponsible.

What did Magrane say?

 

[Frozenprince]

Niese is our LOOGY for the playoffs and it is a lefty.

Still...

 

[DoktorEvil]

Niese huh...

For 1 Batter I assume.

 

[Mrbob]

Rizzo with another awful at bat.

 

[Link]

Gotta hand it to Niese. That was well done. Kept the ball down.

 

[GK86]

Good strikeout by Niese.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Niese didn't Niese!

 

[Frozenprince]

Gotta hand it to Niese. That was well done. Kept the ball down.

I think he can stick around with us as a BP arm for a bit. He's not awful, he's just not good enough to start here anymore.

 

[3N16MA]

Remember when Niese was the Mets rotation?

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Pitching for his grandma!

 

[BumRush]

Nice work, Niese.

 

[FTF]

Nice out Niese.

 

[Frozenprince]

Remember when Niese was the Mets rotation?

Hey, before his shoulder shit the bed he could throw 95 and had a power curve that could bite both corners.

Then well, his body gave out.

But yeah those were dark times.

 

[BumRush]

Remember when Niese was the Mets rotation?

Honestly feels like that was years ago. I wonder where he'll be next year.

 

[Choomp]

Man, Niese actually hasn't been terrible! Nice sequence against Rizzo.

Let's get some more runs now that Arrieta's out, it's gonna be a long road to the ninth.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Who knew that English was spoken so frequently in Chile.

 

[Link]

Let's answer back with a couple runs, boys!

 

[Frozenprince]

Honestly feels like that was years ago. I wonder where he'll be next year.

With the Mets. He's under contract. Why let him go for nothing when he can give us decent value?

He was a 3 WAR pitcher just last year.

 

[Link]

So close!

 

[Choomp]

Coghlan returning the favor. Thought it was gone off the bat, shit.

 

[GK86]

I think he has been practicing that move. Great catch.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Who knew that English was spoken so frequently in Chile.

Lol thought the same shit. A la Valkyrie

 

[Loco4Coco]

Nice catch.

 

[Frozenprince]

What can't be stated enough is how the Cubs salvaged his career. He was gonna be out of baseball if not for them. And he's become a good player again.

 

[Choomp]

Man Duda's gotta be in his own head or something. Guy can't hit a lick right now

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Man Duda's gotta be in his own head or something. Guy can't hit a lick right now

He was streaky during the season. Slumping at a bad time.

 

[zroid]

what's even more impressive than Rizzo's talent for snagging balls out of the stands, is that balls keep getting popped up in the perfect spot so that he can snag them from the stands

 

[DoktorEvil]

At this point, TBS showing that Buster Posey commercial so damn much, I want to see the guy deliver a baby.

 

[Link]

Now that the bullpen is in, I'm nervous.

 

[richiek]

Why is Matz warming up??

 

[GK86]

Matz...?

 

[Frozenprince]

It was said during the week Matz was available out of the pen and that Terry had no confidence in Reed or Clippard.

This is his throw day he's fine to pitch.

 

[Westonian]

Now that the bullpen is in, I'm nervous.

I wouldn't be. Cubs look like they would strike out at batting practice tonight.

 

[Link]

Good. Good.

 

[Rock And Roll]

Tired are the ears that hear this song.

 

[DoktorEvil]

That awkward TBS camera angle inside the booth lol.

SNY manages to fit Gary, Keith, and Ron in frame...

That awkward TBS camera angle inside the booth lol.

With space to spare.

 

[Choomp]

Why even take a bat with you Conforto

 

[Link]

Offense has gone to sleep for the night. It's all up to the bullpen now.

 

[thefro]

Cubs should have started Wood

TBS broadcast is much more enjoyable with the announcers muted.

 

[SephCast]

I believe. We can still come back.
