10/09 CUBS (LESTER) @ CARDINALS (LACKEY), 5:30 PM CT, TBS

[Guest]

lol they've been waiting til now to decide? Get off the field

[Guest]

Good to know you now get a minute to decide on whether you want to challenge. Umps should have made Matheny declare earlier.

[Tryptamine]

If they claim there's clear evidence on this then the TV is just going off.

[Geech]

good lord how long is Matheny allowed to confer

 

He's conferring the right way, though. (Slipping the ump a 20)

[bcl412]

I'm not sure I've ever felt as uncomfortable with a good pitcher pitching as I do with Lester. I don't know where it comes from.

 

Probably because he's allowed a decent amount of hard contact. And isn't getting the same strike zone as Lackey

It's not a "this game" thing.

[Guest]

Top of the order in the fourth. Cubs are scoring this inning.

[Guest]

ok guys remember how to hit now plz

[Soul]

2 challenges and he uses one on a 2-out single? Isn't that like using a football challenge on a first down at your own 30?

Phil Cuzzi just didn't get enough cash in the ump's locker room earlier.

You go, we go Dex.

[Ski]

Okay, Cubs. I'll say it once again.

 

JOHN LACKEY SUCKS. When he throws a fastball up in the zone, hit it far.

 

That is all.

Gotcha. I get the same feeling. I feel like when Lester is not on he gets hammered. And it happens so randomly like that game in LA where he was pitching really well into the 7th and then gave up like 4 runs. So I am always sort of prepared for bad Lester to show up out of the blue.

but he doesn't

[rocket]

at what point do we root to not get no hit

[Ski]

I want him to suck, though.

meh. it hasn't felt like the challenges mean anything anyway. seems like they'll get a review if they want one

[UMFan83]

Come on just get some one on base for my sanity.

[Guest]

umm someone tell kyle schwarber not to show bunt again ever

Yeah it's like how often does a team need more than 2 challenges in 6 innings

[Guest]

He has an enormous margin for error to get a free single, he has to at least give it a passing thought

[UMFan83]

umm someone tell kyle schwarber not to show bunt again ever

 

I'm assuming they have the shift on and he was faking a bunt down 3B line

[rocket]

suck it perfect game

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 95-63 (.601) when they draw 1 or more walks.... 3-2 (.600) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Ski]

I just hate John Lackey so [expletive] much. Gets traded to the Cardinals (for minimum salary) and revives his career. Typical.

 

Though I think he was good for his last year in Boston?

[UMFan83]

Come on Bryzzo. No double plays
