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

[Banedon]

Man I was worried there. Nice job lester!

[CubInOK]

That was an ace performance. The meatballs should be pleased.

[halplm]

Lester doesn't seem to be getting the same outside corner that Cole has.

 

Look again !! ;)

 

He did get the most important... :clapping: Hopefully he's not broken.

[bukie]

There is no reason to bring up Schlitter today for Szczur if you don't plan on using him today.

[Gilby]

Those infield hits could come back to help us if the bullpen doesn't have to face Walker or McCutchen again.

[Guest]

Surprised they're using Herrera and not Montero. Would think they'd want Herrera available as a multi-purpose sub and it's late enough that there aren't going to be many more PH

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hell, Lester could have done that !

[Banedon]

Sure there is. If Lester gets lit up, you send Schlitter out to take a beating.

[sneakypower]

Lester's really the kind of dirtbag pissant the Cardinals always seem to get off the assembly line

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 19-13 (.594) when they draw 2 or more walks.... 1-2 (.333) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Gilby]

So we're probably getting Schlitter/Coke to set up and Rosscup to close?

 

Can't imagine Strop or Rondon will pitch. Actually, Rondon maybe could; I thought he'd pitched 4 days in a row but it's only been 3.

Schlitter is coming in. Please bat around here.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Schlitter is totally going to blow this isn't he?

Yeah, I think they're going to do their best to go with a 4 man pen, those 3 and Jackson. If Schlitter can get the first two out I wouldn't be opposed to Rosscup trying for a 4 out save.

[Careless]

Bryant and Rizzo. runs please.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 3-0 (1.000) when they steal 3 or more bases.... 17-15 (.531) when they don't

CUBS are 1-0 (1.000) when the opponent commits at least 3 errors.... 19-15 (.559) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Gilby]

Yes, huge run.

[Careless]

Way to scare the pitcher into throwing it away, Bryant

[Guest]

Caminero doing a lot of staring at the person who's not Kris Bryant

[ScrubMD]

Now Bryant and Rizzo can focus more on hitting monster dongs.

[CubInOK]

CANYONEROOOOOO

[Guest]

haha, I missed Stewart slamming his glove on the original play

[Gilby]

Those kind of balks are stupid. That flinch isn't fooling Bryant or the runner. Kind of a lame rule if you ask me.

If Fowler was thinking about stealing 3rd, that'd definitely be deceiving him.

 

Of course, I don't think Fowler was thinking about that at all, which makes Caminero's obsession even weirder.

[ScrubMD]

A Rizzo dong would make me feel slightly better about Schlitter coming in.
