5/6 Dusty Baker's Nats (The Rural Scherzer) @ Cubs (Lackey) 1:20 CDT CSN/MLBN

[Omar]

if the Nats want speed they should just trade for Josh Hamilton

Maybe the wheelchair Josh Hamilton is in right now has made him faster.

that or his 5th relapse

[Tim]

This was definitely the matchup in this series I was most worried about.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

we better win this one so I can be OK with the Rendon homer (he was my WC pick here)

[Banedon]

Fowler has spoiled me.

[BigSlick]

After vociferously defending Lackey last week I'm back to hating him btw

[Cubswin11]

Nice ab, Jason

[BigSlick]

Alright get some dongage up in the air

[Banedon]

This was definitely the matchup in this series I was most worried about.

 

Lackey is definitely the starter so far that has yet to earn my trust.

[CubInOK]

Good to hear the cheer for that Heyward walk.

[CubInOK]

Thanks for that ball 1 to Bryant blue.

[Banedon]

Thanks for that ball 1 to Bryant blue.

 

Gameday can't have been right on the location on that one.

[Andy]

So what song is it then that Rizzo used there? I thought that was Starlin's old song. (Carrying over from last night)

[CubInOK]

Thanks for that ball 1 to Bryant blue.

It probably was. That really should have been a strike.

Ge that pitch count up there, Max!

[BigSlick]

Don't chase something out of the zone, Rizz

[CubInOK]

This ump is not giving the high and outside pitch to Scherzer. It's not like this lineup needs a shrunken strike zone to walk.

[Banedon]

24 pitch first for Scherzer.

[BigSlick]

Hah, I heard Pat say "ground ball into short right field" and I thought it was a hit without realizing the shift was on

[CubInOK]

Ge that pitch count up there, Max!

Just 24 pitches for Scherzer.

[Tim]

Rizzo did not respect 90 there.

[BigbadB]

6 pitches per at bat. It's a thing of beauty!

[badger]

24 pitch first for Scherzer.

 

So Dusty has him on track for 7 or so innings?

[Tim]

Bet we don't hear Kaplan say anything about it, though.

[CubInOK]

Hah, I heard Pat say "ground ball into short right field" and I thought it was a hit without realizing the shift was on

It looked like a single off his bat.

[BigSlick]

Ok, Lackey, you suck dude
