deGrom going today, Cabrera back at SS (looks like he aged 20 years over the offseason if his movement in the field is any indication), Cespedes still out, and TJ Rivera in for Reyes.

Mets need this one with the Wheeler vs Scherzer matchup on deck. Wheeler is just another example of why the Mets should have built a "super bullpen" as he still lacks any kind of consistent command and is generally a 100 pitch 5 inning pitcher.

That's kind of embarrassing for Cincinnati. It's one thing to troll a team like Golden State or the Seahawks where success led to a huge increase in the fan base but the Cubs have been popular nationally for decades.

And beyond that, they've absolutely owned the Reds the last couple years and Cubs games in Cincinnati have been home games for them for years.

You really think the Cubs haven't seen a huge increase in popularity because they're good now? That's happens to every team, to the Cubs even more so because of how long their drought was

It's gonna be 2027 and Cubs fans will still be thinking of themselves as the underdogs :lol

BOOM!

They've have a huge following because of the said losing streak, but also WGN. I went to Belize years ago and they had huge following on the Island because WGN was one of their first cable stations.

LOL, WGN was everywhere!!!, I remember growing up in the DR and having access to watch all the Cubs game, I liked more watching the White Sox and I hey became a favorite during the 90's.

Cubs fans should have beaten up all the Reds fans once they saw that. I bet they were soo mad!

 

[Tall4Life]

Meh, the bandwagon cam is just a funny lighthearted thing, its not like the Cubs fans there were rioting because of it

if i was on it as a red sox fan I would laugh too

Probably the highlight of our season (I'm in Cincy).

 

[Goose_Se7en]

Mets game with pretty good seats. Unfortunately these suckers were being no hit by Gio "PED" Gonzalez until just recently.

 

[BigAT]

Chris Carter's home run/strikeout coinflip landed on the right side for once.

Pirates with some garbage defense this inning, I'll take it.

 

[Sanjuro]

Game is delayed. Hopefully it will give us more time to plot Machado's demise.

 

[Musky_Cheese]

Mets game with pretty good seats. Unfortunately these suckers were being no hit by Good "PED" Gonzalez until just recently.

Gio took peds? News to me.

 

[BigAT]

457 ft. homer for Judge.

It would be like getting mad when the mascot steals your popcorn.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

The sun at Miller Park is so bad

 

[Caja 117]

We got out very own giancarlos stanton, Im loving this.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

Mets are fucking BASURA!!!!

 

[Miracle]

457 ft. homer for Judge.

He's single handedly making baseball so much more fun to watch.

Can't wait to see him in the home run derby.

 

[Sanjuro]

Yankee fans enjoying their street rat.

 

[Frozenprince]

Mets are fucking BASURA!!!!

At least if the season is over by June I can do shit during the summer.

 

[Chris R]

Of course the Mariners find a way to lose a game between boarding a plane and landing.

 

[DireStr8s]

Gio took peds? News to me.

Gio's name popped up in the Biogenesis scandal but MLB found that he didn't take PEDs.

 

[Sanjuro]

JBJ with a monster shot!

 

[Grover Cleveland]

JBJ was the missing link

 

[Chuck]

Well shit

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

alright, the first 3 leadoff doubles resulted in 0 runs

maybe Grichuk's 1 out double will mean a run

edit: lol ryan braun

 

[brianjones]

dodger pitching is 😝

 

[Grover Cleveland]

DFA Steven Wright

BACK2BACK

Following
More
To put it another way:
* Homers off Wright in 22 starts (last season) before his shoulder injury: 8
* Homers off Wright in his six starts since: 11

Time to ban the knuckleball from Major League Baseball

If there's one thing I've learned from the beyond annoying 'break in the action' clips is that announcers have gotten so bad in the past decade, led by the terrible Michael Kay.

Yep.

We used to have Vin Scully doing World Series games. Now we get Joe Buck.

 

[Windu]

Why are umpires not enforcing the batter out of the box rule. Herrera takes forever between pitches.

 

[CygnusXS]

Brandon Phillips is a good guy

 

[Choomp]

Dodger pitching has imploded on itself these last two days. Series has been a disaster.

Yep, it's been pretty sad

 

[Lunar FC]

Nice for the Rockies to have a comfortable win. Our margins of victory prior to this were 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 5, 1, 1, 1.

 

[rekameohs]

Ran a 4 mile race today so I kinda sorta maybe had an excuse to pig out horrifically at the ballpark.

Funnel cake chicken sandwich: Good god, that was a caloric experience.... The funnel cake was actually pretty good! Other than that, this combo wasn't the best; there was a spicy cheddar on the chicken that was good, but they're honestly probably better separate.

Churro dog: this thing kicked ass! Lordy. I have had better churros before, but the churro / donut / ice cream combo killed it. Instant diabetes, but I. Do not. Care.

As for the game, it's always fun to beat up on inferior competition, of course...!
