9/25 Pirates (Cole) @ Cubs (Lester) 1:20 ABC

If only we had an offense that scored a lot of runs things wouldn't be so hopeless. Oh wait we do

 

Weird [expletive] happens to that when Lester is on the mound for some reason, though...

Either he sucks, or he's great and gets anemic run support, or the 'pen blows it.

[weis21]

nice!

I feel like 100% of Kat's posts are complaining about lester in some way or another

[Andy]

He gets anemic run support in part because he intentionally makes the lineup worse by making Ross his caddy.

Lester sucks?

[Andy]

In any case, it's more coincidence than anything else.

CUBS score 4.30 runs per game..... CUBS score 3.63 runs per game when Lester starts.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Do the numbers even bear this out?

there's some really weird anti-Lester contingent out there, that I guess assumed he would win the cy young every year or something.

Haha answered my question before I even submitted

[Fred Hornkohl]

I wouldn't mind seeing a squeeze bunt right here.

[ctcf]

Kris Bryant has a really high baseball IQ, methinks.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Well.... that'll work, too !!

Addison Hussell

[Ski]

Would rather we do it with a big hit, but I'll take the run.

[weis21]

I'll take it!!

 

Hope is creeping in...

[TMan92]

Great hustle by Russell

:-P

 

At least it's tied now!

[TMan92]

When Lester pitchers, we might as well not even send him and Ross to the plate with a bat and hope for a wild pitch or walk.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

So hopeless...

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are seeing 4.13 P/PA.... Pirates are seeing 4.12 P/PA through 4 innings.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Liam Neeson]

Wouldn't the Ross / Lester lineup be better off with the mantra of batting the pitcher 9th?
