7/9: Cubs (Lester) at Pirates (Kuhl), 6:15 p.m. CT; TV: FOX, Radio: 670 AM

[Andy]

I hadn't really thought about it, but why in god's name were they pitching to Baez?

He wasn't really. He went out of the zone every pitch.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Holy horsefeathers, he did walk him.

[bcl412]

I REALLY want to see some sealdong

[Transmogrified Tiger]

well at least Lester didn't get the bottom of the zone strike called when he's at the plate, otherwise I think he might've brained the umpire

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Come on seal boy break this game open!

[Sammy Sofa]

Time for some redemption, you stupid Sea World reject.

[davell]

Nicasio is solid

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Javy and Willson are hard-wired to do horsefeathers like that in concert.

[Tim]

How on earth do you walk Lester on four pitches?

 

Of course, I think only one of the eight pitches to Javy was actually in the zone.

[Tryptamine]

Not a strike

[TruffleShuffle]

good work walking one of the worst hitting pitchers in baseball.

[bcl412]

It's nice to see us working some pitchers again.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Tommy, he couldn't even get Lester out.

[UMFan83]

I feel like LaStella strikes out with RISP in 90% of his opportunities

[Andy]

Yet another strikeout by the guy who never struck out until it was brought up. But at least we lead

[Sammy Sofa]

La Stella bugs me.

[TMan92]

Get well soon Dexter

[Tim]

This is where I question sneaky's love affair with La Stella.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Feel free to go back on the dl LaStella.

[soccer10k]

Thanks to the ump for calling two borderline strikes for a guy who just walked the pitcher on 4 pitches.

[Agony and Ivy]

That was amazing hustle by Willson.

 

He's still stiff with the receiving but this umpire is awful.

[Andy]

Thanks to the ump for calling two borderline strikes for a guy who just walked the pitcher on 4 pitches.

The strike 2 in particular didn't look like a strike at all

[TruffleShuffle]

Good: 79 pitches seen in 3 innings.

Bad: already 6 LOB

[UMFan83]

Lol lead lasts 1 batter

[Tryptamine]

well that lead lasted 2 pitches.
