2016 MLB thread. THE CUBS HAVE BROKEN THE CURSE! Chicago Cubs are your 2016 World Series champions

[jewbacca2]

Middlebrooks just tripped on some **** in the on deck circle. 

It has always blown my mind they're just allowed to leave donuts and what not out there. At every level of baseball and softball, except the majors, the umps are on you with the quickness to pick that stuff up

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

What was the woat World Series to watch?

 

[jewbacca2]

Street just gave up a game tying bomb.

During the end of the M's and Angels yesterday, whatever broadcast it was said that Street has the highest save percentage of any close over the last 5 years.

Then he proceeded to get two outs on fly outs tallying close to 800ft today 

y'all go ahead and keep Street

Mets load the bases with 1 out

Get 0 runs in

MLBn just relayed that Collins said he has called 7 hit and runs over the last week and the team has made contact zero times

Well, the winning streak was fun. Gotta try and beat Shelby Miller again on Tuesday :\

Sounds about right

I think Matz did a hit and run before but I wasn't paying enough attention to see if that was the case.

 

[jewbacca2]

Matz starting in RF tomorrow 

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Babe Ruth Jr.

4 RBI today

Babe Ruth Jr.

4 RBI today

That's so embarrassing a pitcher comes up and is 3-3 with 4 RBIs, and the rest of team probably has 3 hits over the last week 

 

[jewbacca2]

Matz out there like: 

 

[johnnyredstorm]

First game we've scored more than 2 runs in a long time

Matz have it all

 

[nick.]

@AdamRubinESPN: Forget pitcher, Steven Matz is the first PLAYER in #Mets history with 4 or more RBIs in his major league debut.



Matz have it all

 

[jewbacca2]

Angles just won a wild pitch 

Mariners almost escaped bases loaded with no outs 

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Collins is the worst. Leaving Matz out there for another innings

 

[jewbacca2]

Matz arm is going to fall off after the game. 100 pitches 

 

[johnnyredstorm]

100 isn't a big deal but it's the kid's first career start and he hasn't ever thrown more than 91

 

[macbk]

Have a day Steven Matz .

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I hope this Cardinals game gets cancelled so I don't need watch the live K zone and listen to these struggle announcers.

 

[dgum]

Grandaddy Matz is the man. 

  After the second 2 run hit:

@AstrosFuture: Alex Bregman (@ABREG_1) with a solo HR for @QCRiverBandits his first professional homerun!! #Astros

It will be interesting what they will do with him when come time to bring him up if Correa stays at SS. Most likely Correa to 3rd in 2 years.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Correa moves to third eventually, right?

 

[steeeeeeven]

What's the plan when Lowrie gets off the DL?

Correa moves to third eventually, right?

Lowrie has been taking ground balls and I'm hearing he'll be back right after the ASG.

Lowrie and Valbuena will split time at 3rd. I could even see Valbuena getting some time at first if they're both hitting and Carter isn't.

I could also see Valbuena getting traded

Too many roster spots and not enough guys.

Correa is fine to stay at SS. A position change for anyone just depends on the makeup of the roster. Bregman could end up at 3B, SS, 2B or a corner OF spot just depending on the roster.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I don't understand why Kruk keeps harping on the need to give up an out to get a runner to third this early in a game. Last three innings small ball makes sense but this early in a game you gotta be playing for a big rally. Look for a single or double not a damn ground out to second.
