4/2 World Champion Chicago Cubs (Lester) @ Cardinals (Martinez) 7:35 CDT, ESPN/670

[Transmogrified Tiger]

That throw makes me wonder how Zobrist ever threw anyone out last year.

[Euthoniel]

would've been nice to have heyward making that throw

 

Yeah, so far playing Baez over Almora has hurt us.

[bjam12]

Anyone starting to dislike Fowler?

[17 Seconds]

good for mendoza for recognizing that the guys dancing around on the bases against lester don't actually end up taking advantage of it most of the time

[David]

javy tag might've had him

 

should've gone with the lester alignment from last year SMH joe

[Schwarber Fan]

Enough is enough with this narrative. It's not the reason the score is 1-0.

[weis21]

national broadcasters want opposing teams to steal on lester literally every time they're on base. so tiring.

[Rex Buckingham]

Accurate throw might have gotten Diaz there

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Accurate throw might have gotten Diaz there

 

Yep. Or even one that was something other than short and on the foul side of the base.

[weis21]

Anyone starting to dislike Fowler?

???

[David]

lester has actually said publicly before that he does not like starting opening day

[David]

also it shows how spoiled we are that i feel like lester has been getting knocked around and our fielders have been horsefeathering everything up throwing balls into the stands and not catching anything and he has given up 1 run in 3 innings and has a bunch of K's

[Brian]

ESPN just remembered the Cubs won the WS last year

It was a joke

yep. i blame it on god-mode Areitta second half in 2015. now if a pitcher isn't absolutely mowing down the opposing team on like 10 pitches an inning i'm slightly disappointed (not really, but not completely satisfied either).

[weis21]

eff this split screen horsefeathers

[Bryants Disco Ball]

We've had national broadcasts for 18 straight games. I'm ready to get back to Len and JD.

[Brian]

how could the commissioner of baseball never been to St. "Baseball Heaven" Louis

[NotSoSober]

Manfred has never been to St Louis before? How is that possible

[Schwarber Fan]

Cmon guys, make this horsefeathers work.

[weis21]

We've had national broadcasts for 18 straight games. I'm ready to get back to Len and JD.

this just dawned on me, too. agreed 100 percent.

[Cubswin11]

Alright you jerk, idiots. Score some horsefeathering runs and win

[Rex Buckingham]

I mean, St. Louis sucks so I don't blame him. In another note, we could really use a quick inning from Lester here.

[Bote McBoteface]

We're getting owned right now. Guess we'll have to settle for beating them 4-2 or something lame like that.

[NotSoSober]

The Cardinals and their signage trickery. Play the game under protest
