6/1 dodgers (bolsinger) @ cubs (lester) 705 cdt, csn

[TruffleShuffle]

i'm not sure that i can take another 3 2/3 years of zobrist's walk up music.

[Tim]

It sure would be nice to have Schwarb's left handed bat in the lineup on days like this.

[halplm]

Rizzo's whole season has been just a strange thing. I keep expecting him to go out and get 5 hits, three games in a row or something... instead he's just... off, and yet still somehow awesome.

Maybe Julianna will release a new album with some bangers on it...

[sneakypower]

i'd guess that xOBA might consider Bogaerts to be middle of the pack for their lineup in terms of hitting quality so far; he's floating on an otherworldly BABIP right now

 

Ortiz & Bradley have for sure been better, and probably a case to be made for Mookie & Shaw, and maybe Pedroia

Odds that Kurkjian thought about it that deeply?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

raise your hand if tonight was the first time you heard craig sager is a huge cubs fan

 

i don't understand how i haven't heard that ever

I was thinking that myself

[David]

i love that javy is walking up to informer lmao

[Tim]

lol @ JD: "Baez vs Baez. Who will be mas Baez?"

[Ski]

Christ, swing at ball four three times, why don't you, Baez.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Javy gave him the Furcal

[David]

Christ, swing at ball four three times, why don't you, Baez.

 

yeah he got to 3 balls and then did everything he possibly could not to walk

 

i was going to laugh if he reached on that dead squibber

[Andy]

The Cubs need to electroshock Javy every time he swings at a three-ball pitch outside of the zone.

[TruffleShuffle]

i think baez is replacing soler as the "this guy is up, time to go to the bathroom" hitter on the cubs.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

No doubt in my mind Javy was swinging at every pitch that came with a full count.

[Ski]

The Cubs need to electroshock Javy every time he swings at a three-ball pitch outside of the zone.

I mean, I won't fault him for swinging at borderline pitches, but every ball four he swung at was a good 3-4 inches off the plate.

[Gilby]

over/under one start in LF for Willson Contreras this season

[bcl412]

It seems like every cubs vs dodgers game is low scoring.

[David]

jon is horsefeathering awesome

[UMFan83]

Lester is horsefeathering awesome this year save that one start in SF

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Really good to see Lester dominate like this. I still wouldn't mind some more runs, though, guys.

[UMFan83]

I do not agree with Lester trying to finish this. Talk about "Screw the closer"

[Tryptamine]

I don't see the need to push Lester when your closer is really, really good.

[tawfiqmp]

Yikes go for the insurance run. Rondon is one of the best closers in baseball.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 4-2 (.667) when their starter pitches 8 innings or more.... 31-13 (.705) when he doesn't

CUBS are 26-9 (.743) when they get a quality start.... 9-6 (.600) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!
