4/5 cardinals (wainwright) @ cubs (lester) 705 pm cdt espn2

[treebird]

do you think coke will insist on using ross as his caddy when he takes lester's spot in the rotation?

[Guest]

It's remarkable how full of bad ideas Ross appears to be

[Guest]

Perhaps the worst news in all this is that Wainwright looks fully healthy.

[Guest]

haters

[Guest]

Oh good, another leadoff hit to squander.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Pinch-run for Ross if you're going to double-switch into Montero.

Not with a five man bench.

[Deeg]

How was Lester's velocity? Is his arm shot or does he just suck now?

[Schwarber Fan]

Time to hit a bunch of liners for outs!

[George Hayduke]

Can we please push one of these leadoff runners in scoring position with no outs across home plate?

[Careless]

Ross did throw the first runner out and if not for the wind, may have homered his first AB. I'm far from his biggest fan, but let's not go too far with the Ross hate.

 

And framed huge strikeouts.

 

But Persunulhz catcherz!!!111ONEZ

 

Wait, was the wind not blowing out hard enough for him?

The wind has been blowing in since about 6 pm, hasn't it?

[Guest]

btw, pretty happy to see Motte as the first RH RP up in the pen

He was missing his spots all night long.

He wasn't that awful.

[Rex Buckingham]

Two straight balls hit really hard for outs... Ugh

[Brian]

bring back joe morgan

[George Hayduke]

0-11 with RISP. Super duper.

[kujay]

Jesus Christ that's some amazing whiffing for our lead off guy. Or our second lead off guy.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Can we at least be unlucky in a new way and not do the RISP thing again?

[Schwarber Fan]

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Hit 94 a bunch and threw in the low 90s consistently. The Cards hit mistakes and Lester made a bunch.

[sneakypower]

i think i'm always going to dread Motte

[Hairyducked Idiot]

It makes sense. This isn't exactly high-leverage.

[OleMissCub]

Kruk probably thought gulag was a food

Oh absolutely, but seeing him here helps assuage any fears that his veteranness was going to have him skip a few spots in the pecking order for high leverage spots.
