5/15 Bucs (Cole) @ Cubs (Lester), 1:20, CSN

[BigSlick]

Lester handled that groundball very impressively

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Gold Glove Lester

[Brian]

shut down the protocol

[Ding Dong Johnson]

that's a bit of a relief in a weird sort of way

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I am not sad

[Ding Dong Johnson]

on every close to being HBP i imagine the Pirates bench ready to storm the field

I'm almost expecting someone like Sean Rodriguez to come out of the dugout on inside pitches

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Wrong guy to put on first.

[Ski]

horsefeathers 0-2 hits.

 

At least the pressure is off the pitch count now.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

that's a bit of a relief in a weird sort of way

Agreed but it's also a 0-0 game so it's annoying giving up base runners.

[BigSlick]

Alright well get out of the inning and that's fine

 

I'm more concerned that Gerrit Cole may have 2 more innings in him bleh

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Lotta whining by fans of a 27-8 team in a 0-0 game.

 

Facing a tough pitcher. And with an offense that scores approximately 15 runs a game. The Skis of the world really get annoying.

[Sammy Sofa]

I'm more concerned that Gerrit Cole may have 2 more innings in him bleh

 

Just two more innings he can get clobbered in.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 10-6 (.625) when the opponent steals a base.... 17-2 (.895) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[BigSlick]

Jeez we could have had Marte twice there

[Ski]

Damn, that wasn't a bad throw either.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

yuck

[Fred Hornkohl]

How do we always give Lester crappy run support?

 

You really think 5.57 R/G is crappy support ???

[Brian]

of course, they only have hits in 2 of 16 innings so far this weekend and 3 runs Edited May 15, 2016 by Brian

[Ski]

God damnit.

[BigSlick]

Oh man that sucks for Lester so much. He has the opportunity to lose a second game he only gave us 1 run, with this offense. Bad luck for him.

[UMFan83]

Wait. We're losing to the Pirates?

[Ski]

We'd better score a [expletive] run this game.

[Brian]

just have to do what they did yesterday and respond right away

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Annoying.

[Brian]

I'm looking forward to his 'I should have done more' tweet tomorrow.
