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

[UMFan83]

those of you who believe hot and cold is a thing in any way other than hindsight, do you actually not want your good hitters up in big spots if they're "cold?"

 

Hell no I want them up. It can take one good AB to break out of a slump. They are our best hitters for a reason

[Soul]

Lester is as advertised. Stud postseason performance.

Can we score a motherfucking run, please!

[UMFan83]

So this is a typical Lester start right? Rough 1st inning, then dominant but no run support

[Fred Hornkohl]

P/PA through 7 inning(s)....

 

CUBS: 3.86

Cardinals: 4.00

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Sammy Sofa]

Damn fine start by Lester. Now....who gets to play hero?

[SpongeWorthy]

Let's [expletive] go

It's amazing that it happens like that when you have Ross and Lester hitting back to back. Hard to get anything going. Puts too much pressure on the top 7.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 7-52 (.119) when they trail at the end of the 7th inning.... 91-13 (.875) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

I'm feeling something not too eventful,like a sac fly and an infield single.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 41-14 (.745) when their starter pitches 7 innings or more.... 57-51 (.528) when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Please stop, this is dumb and wrong and tired logic

Yes, no team in baseball has been able to handle the spirit-crushing combo of a weak-hitting catcher and a pitcher batting.

 

LISTEN TO YOURSELF.

[Guest]

YES TAKE HIM OUT

Starlin back to rolling over and hitting grounders Edited October 10, 2015 by UMFan83

[rocket]

destroy their bullpen

[rawaction]

Why is he playing there?

[LeonDurham]

geez. I wouldn't be taking him out here.

[Soul]

Ok then. I'm more than willing to take that bullpen for a spin. Bring it on

[ARCubsFan]

So much for that Starlin streak

[Guest]

So Soler or Javy as the PHer I'd guess (assuming Siegrist is coming in).

[LeonDurham]

Matheny will be skewered if the Cubs get to the pen. Do it!

Soler for Coghlan seems the obvious choice

[Gilby]

Maybe Soler will hit this one 600 feet like he did here last year.
