10/13 Cardinals (Lackey) @ CUBS (HAMMEL), TBS, 3:37 CT

Lol Lackey on short rest is awesome because of course.

I expect Lackey to look good early on with short rest, but it should be an issue the 2nd and 3rd time through the lineup.

How the hell is Hammel so bad in the first? You would think he would be aware of his first inning struggles and make a conscious effort to not suck right off the bat.

If that [expletive] forgot to tell himself not to suck in the 1st again....

[Outshined_One]

Set them down and get back to work in the bottom half.

Wait...you think he's NOT trying to have a rough first inning?

[Guest]

Why does Wong make a duck face every pitch?

[Sammy Sofa]

MAKE SOME NOISE, YOU JERKS.

[Schwarber Fan]

These Cubs are too proud to let Lackey shut them down in their chance to eliminate the Birds at home.

you'd think he'd remember to try not to suck in the second half to begin with

"I'm going to make smart posts from now on and not overreact."

 

Thirty minutes later, makes dumb post.

 

Rinse and repeat.

Was Ski the one that said Rizzo should be teaching the others how to choke up and get hits with 2 strikes but he's hoarding the knowledge for himself?

[rocket]

They need to enact the Logan's Run protocol if this keeps up.

[Guest]

Justin Grimm up already.

[rocket]

Imagine how good lackey's first inning would be if Molina was catching him

I missed that gem.

[Sammy Sofa]

Grimm already up in the bullpen.

[UMFan83]

Maddon gave him a pep talk in between innings and told him to throw the pitches that get outs.

[Guest]

woot nice K

[Outshined_One]

Think Maddon pinch hits if Hammel's spot comes up in the bottom half?

[PrimeTime]

5.10 ERA in the second half..I hope he gets traded at the ASB next year

[rocket]

I don't understand

[Guest]

lol of course lackey gets on for carpenter

I wouldn't be surprised at all, especially since there would likely be a couple runners on at that point.
