The Hey its 2021 now guys MLB thread

Only thing worse than watching one Cubs game this season is watching two.

That's was a "HGH" not "MVP" chant, aina?

I am at the 7:05 game. A single ticket with a face value of $46 was $16.85 with fees in StubHub. There are maybe 7k people here.

An Old Style with a 15% tip, (everything is cashless) is $15.12.

Yeah, in my last post, that was kinda my point. I got a text from my brother early Tuesday morning telling me to look at the all inclusive club sections for the afternoon game, Stub Hub had tickets at $49. I then looked at the seat map, and you could get 7th row down the lines for $6.

That's funny (and true). The Ricketts Family really underestimated the Cubs fan angst (admittedly). They know they have to pony up in the FA market next year. Let's see what comes first: Sell the club or sign FAs?

Arrietta needs his roids back, aina?

It’s free money whenever he pitches. I hope the Cubs keep rolling him out there. Cards with Lester, Angels with Bundy too.

Burns ties MLB record with 10 straight Ks (all swinging).

Does he get an asterisk because it's against the Cubs AA affiliate? 😂😂

Edit:  autocorrect.

Also strikes out the second most batters in a game in Brewers history behind Ben Sheets.

Was at that game.  Sheeter was on fire that day.  That 12/6 curve was untouchable.

LaRussa will not manage the game at the Field of Dreams. It was announced he’ll be attending the funeral for his brother-in-law, but I think he’s worried the ghosts will call him back into the corn.

I figured its because there is a ton of corn.  And corn makes bourbon, which is too much distraction and temptation for Tipsy Tommy.

Brewers still have control over Burnes, Houser, Lauer and Woodruff for three more seasons after this one.  Peralta could be under club control for five more at a pretty reasonable price.

Wild. I’m really glad the Brewers didn’t take my advice of thinking Burnes was cooked a few years ago. Shows the patience you need with young guys.

So rare to see the Brewers developing starting pitching. We are spoiled by this front office and coaching staff.

Now do Yelich.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

Now do Yelich.

Good thing they have young, controllable arms so they can absorb his contract.  No doubt they overpaid, as they did with Braun, but in the long-run the Braun contract didn't hamstring them and this one won't either unless he ends up injured.

[cheebs09]

Now do Yelich.

The optimist in me is his back injury early in the year never healed, and that’s the issue right now. Hopefully the offseason will be able to heal that and he gets his power back.

Arrieta on waivers. Added to his sucky pitching, his snotty comments to a mask-wearing reporter may have been a bridge too far.

It also came hours after Arrieta chided a reporter on a postgame video news conference for wearing a facemask in the Wrigley Field press box.

“I’d love you to take your mask off. I don’t think anybody’s around you,” Arrieta said in response to a question about mentoring young pitchers.

Odd and inappropriate as that request might have been, his mound performance was even worse.

[WI_Inferiority_Complexes1]

I would guess he aligns pretty well with the Ricketts’.

Probably just the sh!tty pitching.

“I’d love you to take your mask off. I don’t think anybody’s around you,” Arrieta said in response to a question about mentoring young pitchers.

The same folks that say "my body, my choice" when refusing to act like responsible people and get a job get pissed off when other people wear masks. Sigh.

You know ... you get nabbed for drunk driving 1 or 2 times -- 3 or 4, tops! -- and you get labeled for life.

[WI_Inferiority_Complexes1]

Ironically, it was Carlton Fisk who passed out drunk in the cornfield.

[CreightonWarrior]

Brewers just murdering the Cubs. You love to see it.

[CreightonWarrior]

First time the Brewers have swept the Cubs in 4 games in franchise history.

[GB Warrior]

Felt good to beat up on Hendricks, who went to the "Ted Lilly School of Underwhelming Velocity that took the Brewers' lunch"

[MuggsyB]

Maybe it's me but Fieid of Dreams is a mediocre film at best.
