5/16 Pittsburgh (Cole) @ CUBS (Lester) 3:05, ABC7/Fox

[fallacy]

With the conditions today, Lester is going to give up some runs. Hopefully we get ours too

[Guest]

Lester hanging the curve thus far

[fallacy]

no idea how that didn't get out

[Ram1380]

After the way Castro's ball carried....that one from Marte I thought was out off the bat.

[CincyCubsFan]

Of course Kung broke his 0-12.

[Gilby]

Lester might give up a dong or two today.

 

Nice double play.

[Ram1380]

DP....VERY nice

[Guest]

How did Bryant get that, his arms must be like 8 feet long

[fallacy]

holy crap, great double play

[fallacy]

I'm starting to accept the fact that Bryant might be a good defensive third baseman

[CyHawk_Cub]

Staying out the bullpen today would be all kinds of awesome. Alright offense, just keep putting together good AB's.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 9-7 (.563) when the opponent GIDPs at least once.... 11-8 (.579) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[fallacy]

This soler can only hit in the heat thing is so confusing

[ScrubMD]

Does Rizzo ever get out?

 

Also...a run!

 

He gets out almost exactly half the time.

[fallacy]

Time for lester to fail miserably

[Gilby]

Lester made contact with a 99 mph fastball, wow.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Time for lester to fail miserably

 

He saw 6 pitches, so much better than I expected

[bcl412]

Lester is pretty much one of us at the plate.

[Careless]

What's the record for most ABs without a hit in a career?

[Ski]

Does Rizzo ever get out?

 

Also...a run!

 

He gets out almost exactly half the time.

Rizzo is leading baseball in OBP so far. I've never felt so confident in one of our hitters - my seasoned Cubs pessimism is waiting for him to begin slumping.

[Gilby]

Lester batting v Cole is unbelievably dangerous for the fans behind the Cubs' dugout.

[halplm]

I really hate the camera angle behind the plate... you can't see anything!

[Gilby]

Russell batting v anyone is unbelievably dangerous for fans everywhere.

[Careless]

Seems like there's been a lot of bat throwing this year

[CyHawk_Cub]

Great AB by Russell
