Cubs 3, Mets 0

I’d be happy with a split or even 3-1 but 4 game sets are tough. Also wouldn’t mind the other NL Central teams starting to crash

Managed today’s with all Cubs

Have to admit I was thinking along these same lines as Coomer was blasting the decision…kind of unbelievable that they didn’t just walk Nico but oh well

Hoerner’s 10 RBIs in a three-game span made him the first Cub since 1898 to accomplish that feat while hitting leadoff.

SS Swanson

SP no need for opener Rea

Edwin Diaz —> IL

Rice Cube:
Edwin Diaz —> IL

*Sad trumpet plays*

So glad the Cubs decided to invest in defense

Cubs and Rea really took that inning to the max…

I also wouldn’t mind if the other NLC teams started to lose again

Guess what happened to this pitch

Dansby celebrated 4-20 by smoking that one.

andcounting,

So high

There was a goose on the field at Wrigley, they played on

Pat said PCA got ridiculously close to catching that gapper

Colin Rea, ace

Just got home and tuned in, you love to see it #NLLeast

Great work everyone

Damn, Busch just missed hitting a Canada Goose in yesterday’s game, nothing is going right for that guy.

Hmmm, this could be fun

Imanaga vs Luzardo, so the righty load and shuffling makes sense

Perkins,

I used Vlad, tried to avoid Rickey or Ichiro and the other obvious ones…but the team MVPs were a bit sparse because even if the Yankees and Red Sox won a bunch there are still only a handful across the century

Boyd should be back tomorrow

My bottom row was Dawson-Phillips-Sosa and I used Rocket and Phil Rizzuto for the other two MVPs.

What a run walked in

Would be a lot cooler if the Cubs had cashed in a few of those LOB.

Ah nuts
At least it was Schwarber, I guess

RBuschI

Go Cubs.

Great work by Shota tonight

NICO!!!

NicOMG

Nico’s on quite a heater (dying laughing)

Seiya revenge swing

Damn, Seiya.

NL Least x2

Seiya murdered that pitch.

Awww the Mets

at some point the other NLC teams will lose again, today is not that day (except maybe the Pirates, for now)

Well, that’s helpful!

Seems the Cubs load the bases a lot, this is good, they should keep doing that

I don’t think Kingery’s going to get many more opportunities to play infield.

Never easy, y’all

Sheesh

Wow the Twins did a murder

h/t to Cerami for pointing out that the Cubs won’t face Ohtani and (especially) Yamamoto in this weekend’s series.

We can only hope for a couple of walkoffs against Treinen

Whoa, I was listening on the radio yesterday and didn’t realize that War Bear was actually playing on defense yesterday.

berselius,

Was surprised when Pat said Schwarber caught a ball

berselius,

They changed it up

Though I presume Matt Shaw plays a bit right of center

bases —–> clogged

🍺🍺🍺

Cubs have double digit hits and we’re not even out of the third inning, you love to see it

well that’s not what you want, hope Seiya is okay

berselius,

I guess he’s okay (dying laughing)

(dying laughing), is it yet another pitcher injury

That game was a doozy to listen to, hope Thielbar is ok

Yo the Cubs are in first place

Putting the band back together

Rice Cube,

RIP Scott Kingery

Unless there was yet another random injury out of the blue
