4/23 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Pirates (Locke) 11:35 CSN/MLBN

[BrockLanders]

MLB Gameday just threw me a Justin Bieber Calvin Klein underwear ad... I think it's time to buy MLB.TV.

 

I broke down and bought it last night. Season is too damn fun, didn't want to miss anything.

pirate announcer refers to Ross as Lester's personal catcher

 

 

 

is that so?

 

I don't question that as fact anymore. I'd bet Ross gets the start tomorrow (I think it's Lester's spot tomorrow)

 

Got to be Ross. It's Lester's first road start as a Cub. Wouldn't want him too uncomfortable...

 

He's only started 3 games, and they are all Lester's. He's his personal catcher. As soon as Lester was signed I forgot who said it but one of the reporters at the winter meetings said something to the effect of "David Ross, welcome to the Cubs". It seemed like a foregone conclusion to some that to get Lester we needed Ross, too.

Wait Joe don't you mean Schlitter? I think he's finally ready to succeed in a high leverage situation!

 

 

Please Joe don't feed us another load of "BS" today

 

:-"

i don't like this early hook one bit

 

Yeah, at some point Hendricks is going to have to pitch more than 90 pitches.

[Cubswin11]

Jackson doesn't seem to have the greatest stuff right now

[itisallpartoftheplan]

This is torture.

[Ram1380]

Uggggh

[jersey cubs fan]

maybe russell could have used another week practicing 2B

[Guest]

He seems so god damn nervous ugh

[Andy]

BABIP monster is after us again

[profisme]

Not sure what Russell was doing there.

[KatJ]

lol at least the pirates are just barely missing some dongs too

 

Lead cut in half. Disliking Polanco. Stop the bleeding!

 

Lead wasn't cut in half... it was cut by 1/3

 

just saying

 

Cut TO half. alright already. But it's academic now. One-run game.

[Guest]

Russell needs to keep that ball in front of him.

[CubInOK]

Double minus hands

[Ram1380]

They seem to be "seeing" him too well for my liking.

[tfarks]

Our pitchers are gonna have to get like 300 more outs than the rest of the league

 

Russell doesn't look comfortable at 2b

[Cubswin11]

Jackson doesn't have the same stuff he had the other night

[OleMissCub]

Please don't blow this, Cubs.

[UMFan83]

Jesus out middle relief sucks

[KatJ]

Okay, I'm tuning out. I can't remember a time I've tuned in during this young season where the Cubs won. Maybe once. Edited April 23, 2015 by KatJ

i would very much like to hear an answer for why Hendricks is perceived as being a delicate little flower who can't endure more than a half-game's worth of effort

[Guest]

[expletive] this. Seriously [expletive] this.

[apete6]

Should have been 7 or 8 to 1 before this inning anyway. [expletive].

[Guest]

Double play coming.

[Ram1380]
