Yes, bring in Schlitter for another high pressure moment. This worked well last time.

[Clem Fandango]

Bringing in Schlitter? Congrats to San Diego on their victory today.

[Tryptamine]

It's amazing how fast the bullpen went from a strength to a liability.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 4-1 (.800) when they get a quality start.... 2-3 (.400) when they don't

CUBS are 5-2 (.714) when their starter pitches 6 innings or more.... 1-2 (.333) when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Schlitter is exactly who you want in this situation since a bunch of pen guys are unavailable. Hard throwing right handed sinkerballer

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I know the bullpen is thin, but come on.

[Sammys Boombox]

Hope we don't put this game in the Schlitter.

Was that 1-1 pitch deep? Come on

[RynoRules]

I try not to be an alarmist, but I am concerned about Lester's stuff. I guess it was better today, but the ball looks "dead" when he throws it.

And gets a deep fly out

Our standards for "unavailable" seem ... light. We haven't been using them *that* much.

Bob's favorite things to do are churn butter and yell at kids on his porch.

dammit i almost made a comment when schlitter was warming up that maddon was putting up the kyle signal

[DiamondMind]

Yea I dont understand the Lester negativity today? By far his best start. Velocity was way up. Still needs a little more action on his cutter/sinker, but he looked a LOT better.

Just a coincidence. I was in the car for awhile, just got back.

I thought it looked flat relative to his best, but it was better than his last two starts and maybe he just needs to warm up. I'm prob more concerned than I should be.

Wow I never saw that coming

[Schwarber Fan]

See everyone Tuesday.

[halplm]

Well, that was predictable.

[UMFan83]

Let's keep putting him in high leverage situations even though he fails every single time. Genius

Except that he can't ever keep the ball down so it doesn't matter than he's a sinkerballer.
