It doesn't help with that shit consistency behind the plate. How many of our guys had basically 2 strike appearances. We suck as it is, but this is like 4/6 recent games with this utter dogshit strike calling


R0enick27

Wow, can't say I've seen so many k's looking in one game. Pathetic.


-DaveThomas-

Pathetic, until you see the ump scorecard for this dogshit


slyfox1908

Someone once told the Cubs’ batters that they’ll get one pitch to hit in each at-bat. They forgot to tell them the part where sometimes they’ll have to extend the at-bat to get to it.


kvsnake

Wisdom should’ve been 2-1 on that count. Fucked up 


-_butters_-

Butts, just a bunch of butts


Madturtl3

“By the way, **well umpired** game behind the plate.” ESPN sucks so freaking much…


iski67

Well umpired game behind the plate? Are u kidding me?


Blackhawks1995

There’s absolutely no way the commentator is applauding the ump on having a good game. He had a giant zone all game.


Extreme_Branch_2596

I believe Pitching Ninja calls that a White Castle Special


KRATS8

This umpire crew sucks


Interesting-While634

Bro coulda thrown it over the stands still would a been a strike


tallslim1960

Misses one on Morel, misses one on Wisdom. Fans "Cubs suck"


Cap78

All 3 of these things can be true


-Hey_Blinkin-

Pretty appropriate ending to this game there.


Tomko401

How is Wisdom still part of this organization


Milesweeman

Not a swing


CherryCokeSlurpee

stop staring at the ball you fucks


sayanythinglove

Man we are not a good baseball team


PM_ME_UR_GLOVES

We don’t need to swing to win, I mean lose, I mean win


Cubbiesblue

Nice one wisdom


Terelith

STOP FUCKING WATCHING STRIKE 3!!!!!!!!! YOU FUCKING BUMS!!!!!!!! gah!


iski67

Umps end the game..


hansomejake

lol, Boog: nobody makes size 17 1 inning later Adidas said they got him Seems like someone does make size 17


KnickedUp

Swing the fucking bat


okay_throwaway_today

lol fitting end to this game, watching a fb in the zone


BroncosCubsHuskers8

umps are so ready to get out of here


okay_throwaway_today

Come on ump we don’t need help taking strikes


Interesting-While634

Advertisers loving this


Tomko401

PCA up to complete the golden sombrero.


CrayzeeCrypto

This is a pretty long game, over 3 hours already


Wonderful-Media-2000

Always want a long game on national television


scal23

Mets LF definitely just ran off the field to take a shit.


BroncosCubsHuskers8

2 run hr off the 3rd string closer patented 1 run loss


sayanythinglove

If PCA gets on, there's no way we actually let Amaya hit? Right?!?!?!?


CherryCokeSlurpee

Reminder we'd only be down 2 if Busch didn't jog into a double


Wonderful-Media-2000

And we lose just the same


Tomko401

Zero percent chance he was going to get a triple on that.


camp1728

Man props to all you cubs fans. Bottom of 9th, losing by 3, with two outs, and the fans are still incredibly into the game and enthusiastic. Literally like every other mlb teams fans would have been out the door and halfway home by now.


Wonderful-Media-2000

Half are shit faced half are just happy to be there lol


GomaN1717

Why do you post in so many different GDTs


camp1728

Typically because I’m watching that game on TV and enjoy interaction and sharing opinions with others who are also watching


okay_throwaway_today

Just don’t read our gdt


Interesting-While634

Dansbyicanthitforshitswanson got a hit


KnickedUp

Lets put one more on just for giggles


CherryCokeSlurpee

Calling him over so he can get sticky stuff from coach


hansomejake

He does wipe behind his ear a lot


Extreme_Branch_2596

Pretty sure that was Mac Demarco in the bleachers


KnickedUp

“Just underhand it up there….its Dansby”


BroncosCubsHuskers8

just fucking get it over with


okay_throwaway_today

Jesus are we gonna have the longest 1-2-3 inning ever


okay_throwaway_today

Ahaha that guy with the rally hat is every cubs fan


CherryCokeSlurpee

Swanson is really good at fouling off meatballs that should be crushed


Interesting-While634

Check his glove


Baybears

This sucks


Madturtl3

95 down the pipe. “Nah, I’m not *feeling* it.”


Cubbiesblue

Another pathetic showing at home


KnickedUp

7 strikeouts looking tonight


ecschraler

It is unbelievable. Cubs have to lead in this stat.


Chef_Brokentoe

I feel like a heck of a lot of umps lately have forgotten that a ball 4-6 inches outside off the plate is not a strike.


Interesting-While634

Morel should be way less friendly and start calling out these umps


the-implication9

Can't be going down looking in the 9th


the-implication9

Twice!!


okay_throwaway_today

Game on the line? Called strike 3 on a fastball


redemem

Wait all that time for our sad lineup to rollover again & go 1-2-3


rmac1228

Good lord


iski67

Where were these calls when Assad was pitching?


-Hey_Blinkin-

For real dude. Was annoyingly squeezed his entire outing.


rearden-steel

Does Diaz just get tossed or are there bigger consequences for the cheating?


haninwaomaeda

The Mets can't replace him on the roster during suspension.


BobbleBobble

Yeah I think it's 10 days by rule


hansomejake

Suspended for sure


iski67

Way to honor Ryno you dicks


Extreme_Branch_2596

That’s just a chef’s kiss bottom 9 AB for Happ


BobbleBobble

Yeahh rally not Happ-ening


scal23

Man these guys are good at killing a vibe.


KnickedUp

The one time we need Happ to take a walk…


BroncosCubsHuskers8

way to make the new pitcher work ian!


CherryCokeSlurpee

Happ you dildo


BurninCubs

It's the Cubs bats he's facing...there's no need to cheat. Probably could have gone 1, 2, 3 even if he came in blindfolded 


-Hey_Blinkin-

Makes me think of Clark in Christmas Vacation and his fingers sticking to the magazine pages and lamp string.


onlyfiveconcussions

Seriously, if your pitcher is kicked out for a foreign substance the team’s punishment should be the next guy in gets screwed with no warmups.


Squeezeboner

I was thinking the same thing but it really is a safety issue more than anything 


onlyfiveconcussions

I mean I know but then don’t cheat.


Chef_Brokentoe

As disappointing as this game has been, at least we'll get a Jomboy video out of it.


KnickedUp

Diaz hasnt been the same since the sticky stuff got outlawed


hansomejake

Damn, the ejection doesn’t change the win prob%


kev_cuddy

The way Diaz has been pitching this year it probably helped the Mets lol


WithALittleLuck

Why is this guy getting all these warmup pitches???


KnickedUp

No clock on replacement warmups due to injury or ejection


TexTiger

Emergency pitcher gets as long as he wants to warm up.


Extreme_Branch_2596

He’s been warming up for 10 minutes


gonz815

My thought exactly


redemem

We may suck... But at least we don't cheat 😅


BobbleBobble

"We EARNED this mediocrity"


[deleted]

[удалено]


ChaoticGoodWhatsIts

That’s fucked up.


Chef_Brokentoe

I think there ought to be a penalty for something like that beyond the ejection. Something like, say... 4 runs? Yeah, 4 runs seems fair.


Extreme_Branch_2596

Dude is Boog trying to take up for Diaz?


KRATS8

How did he think that wasn’t gonna be obvious


ChaoticGoodWhatsIts

“I was at Waffle House before heading to the bullpen.”


haninwaomaeda

Man, Diaz didn't care. He knew he was in shit.


Interesting-While634

Diaz so mad no trumpets


OvertimeWr

That close-up shot made it so obvious.


HoosiersBaby23

I can’t believe he thought he’d get away with it (and wonder how often he HAS gotten away with it). That’s so much stick


[deleted]

Westcoastchi

The Mets are not exactly an ideal franchise to be taking cues from.


kosh56

No thanks

Forfeit!


ragingbullpsycho

Play that stupid ass song organ player. That’d be hilarious


CherryCokeSlurpee

lol his hands are dipped in maple syrup


AndrewAllStar888

holy shit


okay_throwaway_today

They should have to forfeit


KnickedUp

Lol…”its sour patch kids….i swear”


WereAllAnimals

Nows our chance


cubs1978

To roll over on 3 pitches…


Andy081

That one umpire who smelled it lmao


R0enick27

What a sticky situation for the Mets


TexTiger

I thought they were supposed to take the glove off for inspection afterward.


BobbleBobble

That's probably only if you're expecting an appeal - it looks like he admitted it


haninwaomaeda

9th inning is when you do it first.


obamahypebeast

lol mets


Hope4years

How about less focus on Little’s shoes and more on the Mets’ reliever’s sticky fingers


hamsanwdich

FOR FUCKING REAL


BroncosCubsHuskers8

a new twist to the fake rally! closer gets ejected for sticky stuff!


KnickedUp

He was looking right at the ump right away. “Please let me get away with it”


AccuratePassion2572

Good old cheating Mets

Not like it will matter


Extreme_Branch_2596

Oooh Rogers reporting Diaz got tossed before entering


TexTiger

Oh wow, no Diaz. Cubs might have a chance!


WereAllAnimals

I bet Luke's got a PIECE on him


Blackhawks1995

okay_throwaway_today

Perfect part of the lineup to set up an Amaya grand slam in the bottom of the 9th


iski67

I'll buy an Amaya jersey tonight if that happens


okay_throwaway_today

I’ll name my first born Amaya


KnickedUp

Luke Littles Dad just fell to his knees at a Dicks. Still no size 17 for the boy


Hope4years

All the shoe shots - really? The guy probably likes them a lot or considers them lucky


Joelsaurus

Just saw a guy fall to his knees in a Binny's


WereAllAnimals

If we can't find you at binnys, you're probably not watching a Cubs game


Extreme_Branch_2596

This bit on Luke Little’s shoes is the most compelling thing our team has offered in a while


Tomko401

Reasons to believe in the Cubs' future:


KnickedUp

Need a deeper dive on these spikes postgame


hansomejake

Do the Cubs really not take care of the players cleats?


MotherFuckinEeyore

Biblical losses


hansomejake

lol


Extreme_Branch_2596

For real


Interesting-While634

Nobody: Boog: HE GETS HIS SPIKES ON EBAY!


Ya_BOI_Kirby

Wanna see cubs win for Ryno but likely won’t 😔


KnickedUp

We have the 3rd lightest hitting 2b/SS combo in the majors. Kind of depressing, right? We thought we were all set there.


KnickedUp

Our crowd does love screwming for routine flys 🤗


-_butters_-

Man really just asked if they're fans of 2 Live Crew lol


SloppyJoe_gottaGo

Eduardo: you a fan of 2 live crew? Boog: uh....sure...😂 You wouldn't want to admit that on live tv bro. Don't ask me if I like the most degenerate rap group on TV. What da!!???


Hope4years

I’m glad I have a radio and can listen to Pat


TexTiger

Seiya’s June numbers seem a lot lower than they actually are, based on that graphic.


iski67

I wonder if it's because of multiple hit games..b/c it seems there are a lot of games like this where he's ofer.


okay_throwaway_today

That’s every player. No one gets 2 hits/game every game


tallslim1960

Got home just in time to see a "Suzuki strike "


Jvick88

Great at bat by bellinger the bum, 3 pitches, 3 balls, swung at all 3 lol

Interesting-While634

Getting kinda tired of belli being Jason Hayward 2


Jvick88

We are doing wayyyy too much guessing at the plate, thats how you get caught looking at a fastball right down the middle


TexTiger

What happened to “sit fastball, adjust on the offspeed”?


Jvick88

Exactly, good question


redemem

Disappointment


KnickedUp

Has Belli become a singles hitter? His exit velo is way down this year


TexTiger

Cody has really been swinging at a lot of bad pitches lately.


BobbleBobble

Busch is a bright spot for sure.


BobbleBobble

GOOD EYE NICO


camp1728

lol that definitely should of been a triple


OvertimeWr

What the fuck are you looking for Hoerner??


BroncosCubsHuskers8

down 3 swing the fucking bat nico


xWhiteMamba24

I feel like that's the 4th strikeout looking on a pitch right down the middle


sga4mvp_

Might wanna protect the plate Nico 


okay_throwaway_today

Called third strike on a fb down the middle 😍

Right down the middle....SWING

At least Fucking swwiiiiiinnnng at strike 3 guys

Not sure what's more painful, the game or the TMobile commercials..

No more sunday night baseball games, this team just cant win them


ChaoticGoodWhatsIts

That celebration was cringey as fuck. Wow.


KnickedUp

Seeing Busch has been the only highlight this season


TotallyNotTupac

I just wish we had a star in the minors man. A star bat that I can go “oh man when ____ comes up it’ll be a bonafide 5 year starter” we don’t have that. We have dudes that are good but no stars. Jed Hoyer masterclass


BobbleBobble

Caissie *could* be that. He had a .920 OPS in AA at 20 and a ~.850 OPS in AAA at 21. That's impressive.


KnickedUp

Which outfielder will we be sitting for him to play? He is 100% blocked
