Great. Our SP & C can't throw to bases. At all.

Castro

2015: GB% 64.3%

Willie Mays Hayes style.

 

If he was fast I wouldn't care, but the man has 3 extra base hits on the year.

David Ross is awesome

More home runs than Bryant.

yay ross

[UMFan83]

It's funny that I'm more surprised when Ross gets a hit than someone like Herrera or any pitcher besides Lester.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Coomer calling him "Rossy" needs to stop.

[KatJ]

So was Lester's alleged personal catcher acquired for his bat?

which is a tad weird

 

you guys seem to think he's koyie hill or something.

It's crazy how much that one area with the benches stands out in the bleachers

His OPS vs. righties the last 2 years was lower than Koyie's career #s.

When are the bleachers supposed to get done again? End of May?

I thought it was May 10 or 11

LF and CF is supposed to open May 11th, RF not until sometime in June

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Lester without a .400+ BABIP against is pretty good.

May 11th is first game any of the bleachers are schedule to be open. Cubs have yet to release any tickets for them, so I'll assume they'll be rolling with just season tickets for Nights & Weekends at least. I'm curious if they'll do a general onsale for weekday games though.

 

ETA: Nevermind, May 14th Thursday day game is now on sale.

 

ETAA: Hmmmm Sunday, May 31st is available as well, so I wonder if there are a handful available and the others are already sold out, or if they're actually ahead of schedule?

Great & quick inning from Lester.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Quick inning for Lester, compliments of Brewers 1st pitch swinging. He just might make it through 7 today

[Clem Fandango]

With the exception of that bases loaded jam, Lester is cruising.

[KatJ]

Great & quick inning from Lester.

 

A little more run support would be nice!

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Not to be overly dramatic, but this is the inning the Cubs need to score some runs.

it's coming

Given the pace that they got LF done at and looking at where RF is now, I'm gonna guess it'll be early June.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Just can't come up w/ the big hit w/ runners on today

His swing/stance has looked really off balance to me all year. He's bailing way out on swings and it looks like it's hard for him to get much power in anything.
