Tommy john surgery

Matz, deGrom, and Syndergaard will blow out their arms

Torn rotator cuff

exploded ucl

Class is in session. Chubster meme gonna get smashed.

this fucking obsession

...

good to see you found the thread ok, we were worried last night :)

...

Ayee who /comfy/ here? Have the day off, its beautiful outside, have a cold beer, got a steak cooking right now, and the cubs are going to win today. Can't get much better famalam.

It was pretty tough, but a Hendricks win is just the medicine I need to recover.

Thanks for your concern.

Thoraic outlet syndrome

honestly I wouldn't be surprised, assdribble, walker and cespedes are sitting today
hopefully Bart keeps the ball down

Torn labrum

why don't the cubs use throwbacks from the last time they were actually any good?

pic related, the 1908 cubs

>fat pitchers

They could at least pretend to be pro athletes

Because these are more aesthetic desu senpai.

oh man I miss those black uniforms, that's my childhood right there

>grandy

Enlighten me because I've never seen him pitch before but does colon have zero control of his pitches?

yeah of course, that's why he's walked 19 batters in 104 innings

ulnar collateral ligament

did he just get hit in the dick with a baseball

Yep

Mets catchers really cant catch a break this series. So many bad throws and so many balls which hurt them.

>Grabs his balls just before catching the ball
what did he mean by this?

>D'arcan'throw

meme catcher

Wew lad

>boreball
>sport

d'arnaud is terrible at being a catcher, his only decent thing is pitch framing

>Divegrass
>Sport

why are you even in this thread

Baseball is good desu

top kek what a shit inning

>Its a Met's pitcher loads the bases through walks episode
why do they do this

>fatolo

Thanks Bartolo

*clapping intensifies*

...

well I hope our neutered lineup can put up 2 runs at least

we can probably barely pull two then put it into extra innings

>Cubs fans going nuts over a flyout
medium lel
sounds about right

sup /fit/? Sup Forums here. How do I achieve Bartolo mode?

>abc broadcast

Bart eats two sets of home cooked meals every day, that's how he's so natty

why does the media make fun of colon? because he's fat? is that the only reason? he's had a great career

Eat plantains xF
Play dominos xF
Throw balls all over the edges and outside of the plate xF

fuck hendricks is based

thought this kind of pitching was a thing of the past

He has had a pretty good career with some serious longevity, however he is often over shadowed by other pitchers from his country and for as long as he has played it isn't hall of fame worthy and can even be argued as lackluster

he literally pitches like colon does now
pitchers with great control and slower pitches are rarer now cuz it's easier to get noticed if you hit 90

...

but the target of his criticism doesn't seem to be his career. it seems to be his weight

DINGERS

>stealing the o's name

That may be true, and it'd kind of sad the guy does have some speed and reflexes when he needs to hell look at that save in the first inning off that bounce, the guy can move.

But he isn't that great to begin with to eliminate any criticisms about him due to his weight so its sort of amplified.

>this is considered attractive in the flyovers

No one has ever forced a meme as hard as the Mets and MLB force Bartolo Colón.

its hard to find a cubes fan dedicated enough to own a jersey and not just a shitty shirt

yea he just seems to be a favorite meme of the media

>le fat pitcher man

I legitimately do not understand what this means
He's a number 5 starter for fuck's sake, not an ace

Rivera had three hits and drove in one of the two runs and made a nice putout at the plate yesterday.

Why does Len keep referring to Bob as "JD"?

>running on heyward

You slow as fuck Loney

>Loney running on heyward
ftfy
Almost every other player on the team would have scored, 2 outs, you're going on contact

it makes people mad for some reason that he's like a decent starter
no, I don't get it either

>slowney

Do you not follow the Mets or MLB on Twitter/Instagram/Facebook or watch or listen to Mets broadcasts?

I just am not autistic and don't care when other people are more into things than me
Also I watch almost every Mets broadcast, and while they have a lot of affection for Colon they pretty accurately rate his pitching ability.

I don't have Twitter or Instagram, but yeah I follow them on facebook
he's a player who's interesting to watch and he's been a pretty good pitcher for us, I don't really ever see them giving him disproportionate coverage other than for shit like the homer

miggy needs to find his way on to the dl until like september

>mfw I had a fukudome, sosa, maddux and a Soto jersey for years

I'm happy that the cubs are doing well again but it was depressing when people would think I'm a band wagon even though I've been a life long fan..

post bagina

Sorry can only post a benis

>o-only if you want me to though
>no homo

This ump's strike zone is fucking miserable

I'm fucking miserable.

If I were a pitcher I would peg Rizzo in the head on his first AB and tell him to change his fucking walk up song

>Big Jizz Rizz
Who can stop this madman?

looks like we didn't solve rizzo
I guess Noah is the only one who can throw that high fastball hard enough for him to miss it?

Seems like we're overcompensating for last night.

flores is still a starter? i thought he was just a tears meme

That's how it looks, Metsbro.
When the team isn't playing like shit I don't think it really matters though, everyone is going to hit fairly well.
I'm just glad the pitching staff isn't giving up eight runs a game snymore

>de Aza and Bastardo are still on this team

he doesn't usually start, Cabrera is resting today
yeah last night was an anomaly I think
at least we pulled that one out, would be disheartening to lose like that and then get dinged today

Loosely Mets-related story I just found.

metalinjection.net/metal-crimes/dude-gets-arrested-because-his-80-speaker-van-was-so-loud-the-new-york-mets-called-the-cops

Cubs left what, 8-10 men stranded yesterday?
Mets deserved the win though, Cubes couldn't come up when it mattered

>tfw kyle is the new jake

13

yeah even then we got lucky at the end, I read somewhere afterwards that that was only the second time Bryant has grounded into a DP all year
regardless, that win was big, even more so considering today lol

Kek worse than I thought
Kyle was always meant to be the new Jake, I'm not sure anyone thought he would develop this quickly though

I think most of it is just that the defense has improved. His pitching looks the same as last season to me.

Certainly that's part of it but even when the team was shitting the bed, Kyle emerged as the most consistent pitcher in the team

Hopefully going to the pen backfires on Maddon

>welp

Lmao still the 8th and 9th for someone to fuck up

that's because you live in the suburbs. you see hundreds of them in lakeview, lincoln park, edgewater etc.

Bad move Wilmer. Thats another week on the bench.

>Terry will bench Flores again next game even though he's the only hitter who consistently shows up every day

free le crying man

SHIT
Why is Flores suddenly shitting on people?
