  1. Huge performance for the pitching staff here, and Kelly coming in clutch on the first pitch off the bench. And a W off a really solid starter in Peralta. Has to be great for the morale.

    WE’RE COMING FOR YOUR SPOT, MI**LLLL**WAUKEE

  10. March/April Carson Kelly is without question the greatest player in baseball history

  16. Ben Browns last 4 appearances:

    8 IP, 2 R, 1ER, 6 H, 7 SO, 2 BB

    4 1-2-3 innings.

  21. So my dad is an old head Cubs fan, and is *still* angry about the Miracle Mets ruining the Cubs chances back in 1960 whatever year it was.
    His response at the end of this game: “Ten losses in a row for the wonderful Mets. Fuck em.”

  22. Went into this game thinking, “wouldn’t it be funny if Happ hit another homer off of Freddy Peralta,” and IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED LOL

  23. Everyone on the bench being at least a solid hitter is such a big upgrade from Jon Berti, Vidal Brujan, Eric Hosmer and Trey Mancini. Allows for a lot of flexibility
