Running 2017 MLB regular season thread

Shit's getting real in Chicago this weekend. Cardinals vs. Cubs.

Time to fish or cut bait. Or shit or get off the pot. Or something.

 

From The Athletic's Cleveland site (assuming it has been elsewhere too, I just hadn't heard the stat until now):

In 22 games, the Indians have trailed for a total of eight innings. Four were last night, which also marked the first time in the 22 games that they trailed after the sixth inning.

 

I sent out a group text as soon as Herrera was called in from the pen....
"Oh fuck. We're losing this one."

 

Lindor just has the type of swing that is death on a flamethrower like Herrera. He'll go with the pitch wherever it's located and drive it.

I really thought Gordon was going to catch it.

 

Meet Thumbs Down Guy, a Yankees hater

 

"The Indians lose one! Oh my God, the Indians lose one!"

 

Delighted to see the Royals not dick up a lead last night.

 

Nothing happening in Detroit.....

 

And it almost happened.

 

Well, the fucking Cardinals shit the bed for real in Chicago. New team motto: Wait till next year!

 

I don't know. The Cubs seem to turn it on when they have to this season.
