"Smartest play in the history of baseball." JD is awesome

Yeah, clear on the replay. For a split second I thought he'd really gone off the reservation with the throwing to 1st thing.

[Banedon]

That was a hilariously great play

Rizzo dropping his glove was pretty brilliant.

[Gilby]

Probably a good thing it got stuck so he didn't have to throw the ball to 2nd.

[Guest]

Tremendous by Rizzo to immediately drop his own glove when he saw what was up.

Praying to god that this Lester deal isn't gonna turn out to be some Mike Hampton type thing.

His career LD% against is 20% and he's sitting at 47% so far this year. That has to change.

[Schwarber Fan]

Thanks to MLB.tv for coming back to the game 4 pitches into Herrera's AB.

[sneakypower]

so cool that they immediately remembered the Mulholland play

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 2-2 (.500) when the opponent hits at least 1 HR.... 4-2 (.667) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

His velocity is fine, his control/crispness (for a lack of better term) seems to just be a little off. I think he's going to be fine, just some early season bad luck combined with getting punished for missing on some pitches.

Len & JD are the best.

if the contract turns out to be a big problem, it will say more about our horrifically disappointing payroll going forward than it will about lester

[DiamondMind]

He IS hitting 94 on the gun today, which is the best so far.

[Guest]

juuuuuuust a bit too much backspin on that one Jorge

[Guest]

That's a double if Upton is in LF today.

[treebird]

i thought that ball was crushed off the bat

[sneakypower]

man, i thought that ball was hit 450 feet off the bat

[Guest]

juuuuuuust a bit too much backspin on that one Jorge

Might reach the basket in July with a south wind, though.
