9/9 Cubs (Lester) @ Cardinals (Martinez) 12:45 PM CST, CSN

[BigSlick]

Is Schwarber a little further away from the plate than before he was injured? I saw the live look in on cubs.com at his last AB (also a K), and he seemed a little away from it.

He has always been a bit off the plate from what I've seen.

 

Has he made contact since he has come back from injury? Its upsetting to see my Mini Babe Ruth like this :(

1-2-3 plz lester

[ctcf]

Carmo is at 51 pitches through TWO

[Bobson Dugnutt]

Wish they got more out of that, but 51 pitches through 2 innings is nice.

[Ski]

Thanks for ruining that PA, ump.

[Andy]

Let him off the hook there, Cogs. Oh well. Hopefully Lester can go into shutdown mode.

Are you seriously talking about 3PA right now?

 

And he made contact in that one.

Aren't you talking about 3 AB's?

 

And yes, he grounded out on a checked swing yesterday.

Winning is fun, but I miss Bryant. :(

I cannot believe that with as much Cubs baseball as I watch, I've never seen Lester get on base.

I think he's done it only 3 or 4 times, so you're probably not alone.

that looked good, ump

Yeah, but most of the other people aren't watching 90% of the games.

Oh, he's just got the day off. I just look forward to his AB's is all.

Oh, whew!

 

Nice job, Lester. :-)

[Banedon]

Calling a La Stella bomb.

[Banedon]

Ew...3-0 groundout for Rizzo....blech.

[Sammy Sofa]

If La Stella gets a hit here I'll give everyone a shiny new nickel.

[Banedon]

So close.

[Sammy Sofa]

I have more faith in Lester doing something amazing here than Tommy La Stella ever getting a hit ever again.

[Careless]
