4/17 Rockies (Chatwood) @ Cubs (Lester) 1:20PM WGN

Heyward is disappointing so far

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Need to bump Lester ahead of Ross in the lineup.

he should be batting 3rd today

[Transmogrified Tiger]

not getting Lester to 3rd there is criminal

Giving up an out on purpose with the hottest hitter in the lineup would have been criminal. Dex hit it hard, just for an out.

 

Dexter should swing away there, but he didn't hit it hard, he popped it 200 feet in the air to short LCF.

He hit a lazy fly ball just past SS into shallow LF... But I agree, no problem having him swing there

Pat made it sound like it was hit hard.

[Butterscup]

this is annoying

[Schwarber Fan]

Annoying game but I'm confident we'll still win

[Bryants Disco Ball]

That's always disappointing when the pitcher leads off with a double and 1-2-3 can't get even him to third.

 

Oh well.

[UMFan83]

Lester doubles and the top of the order can't get him to third. Poor dude gives up 1 run and can't get any help

[Ski]

Of course that's literally the first time all season the Rockies haven't allowed a run with a man on second and no one out. -_-

[bcl412]

This guy keeps making good pitches. We're making him work though the last couple of innings, hopefully we breakthrough. Edited April 17, 2016 by bcl412

Rockies pitchers have really made it tough on Cubs hitters except for that late outburst yesterday. I have no idea who any of these guys are but well good on em I guess.

[Cubswin11]

I know it's early in the year Wrigley but Zobrist fly balls to the OF seem to go rather unimpressive distances from where it seems like they will go off the bat

Who are you going to believe? Pat or random internet people?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have outscored the opponents 29-10 in the final 3 innings.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 8-2 (.800) when they get a quality start.... 1-0 (1.000) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Cubswin11]

Score some runs, idiots

[Ding Dong Johnson]

seems like a good inning to show me some DONG

[BigSlick]

Jon Lester seems to take way more hard luck losses than any other pitcher on the team. (Of course this game isn't over and also he's paaartly to blame for insisting on Ross and his own bat)

[BigSlick]

1-6 in the order are a collective 0-16 with a walk, I mean, you're gonna lose if you do that

[rocket]

Ugh nice play

[weis21]

i choose not to believe this team can be shut out

[UMFan83]

Gonna guess that 7+ ERA that Rockies starters had going into this series is going down :(

 

Good thing we can tee off on the Cards this week
