10/20 Cubs (Lester) vs Dodgers (Maeda) 7 p.m., FS1

[UMFan83]

Heyward shouldn't hit 6th

[Schwarber Fan]

Maeda was totally gifted that escape.

[ScrubMD]

Go away, Heyward.

[USSoccer]

That was irritating.

[mikeyt34]

Dammit

[davell]

Holy horsefeathers, why in the horsefeathers does that dude play? Bench him.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

26 pitches and a run is a perfectly acceptable inning

[David]

He had a good ab

[USSoccer]

That called strike 3 on Javy better be a strike to Lester

[muntjack]

I literally feel better with Lester at the plate over Heyward.

[UMFan83]

Either way good inning. I feel like when an offense is going well they are scoring in the first 1-2 innings more often than not

[davell]

Heyward shouldn't hit 6th

 

He shouldn't hit at all.

[Gilby]

Just give me Almora, no matter the pitcher.

[Cubswin11]

That's an awful call by the ump but Javy put himself in that spot by swinging at a ball 2-0

 

swinging at a 2-0 count doesn't justify a BS strike 3 call.

Swinging at balls up 2-0 puts you in a spot to be fucked by umpires who are inherently awful

[Tracer Bullet]

He had a good ab

 

saw a lot of pitches but not sure i'd call it a good ab just b/c he fouled them off.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Here's to hoping 1 is all we need. Please shut them down now, Jon.

[UMFan83]

In case anyone was curious (not sure if posted):

 

[Aaron_Kennelly]

We got a run and Maeda looked like horsefeathers. It sucks that Heyward is so terrible. I'd play literally anyone else on our roster over him right now. But that's a solid start.

[Billy_Buck]

Whatever the result of this ab, I'm not sure I've ever seen a hitter quite as lost as heyward.

Including an awful lot of pitchers, sadly.

that's just stupid. umps make mistakes, so never swing at 2-0 pitches?

[soccer10k]

Maeda's got nothing. Cubs better knock him around.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Here's to hoping 1 is all we need. Please shut them down now, Jon.

But please get more than 1

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Such a BS call.

Plus were past the point where we can feel good about Good ABs with bad results

[ScrubMD]

oh good
