4/21 World Champion Cubs (Lester) @ Reds (Adleman) 6:10 WGN

[bukie]

Cubs have yet to play a road game where the opponent hasn't batted in the bottom of the 9th.

what play was this?

It looks like Dodger Stadium, maybe the Adrian Gonzalez play at the plate he still was bitching about like last week?

 

that was my first thought, but wasn't it still kind of light out when that happened?

 

Wasn't there one spectacular play by Javy that they originally called safe and then reversed? Or was that the Giants series?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

We're in first place and all of our pitchers are purposefully throwing 10 mph slower and Heyward, Miggy, Jay, and Almora are our best hitters.

Lester wasn't pitching in that game.

I looked up the box score..... it was a challenge on Howie Kendrick stealing 3rd. He was called out on the field but they overturned it to him being safe.

Harrelson-level dead air.

I'm surprised you can't hear Len in the other booth.

[MWV]

Also, thanks.

before i even read this game thread i had to go back and watch the reds broadcast of the rizzo HR on my mlb.tv. it...did not disappoint.

[BigSlick]

hahahaha the Cubs won this game??? Thats amazing.

 

Team already has more exciting comebacks than the 2016 Cubs did in the first half of the year.

 

Stealing the heart away from your rivals is pretty fun.

I was on the road last night and couldn't mention this in real time, but anyone else notice how hilarious it is that Price can't do bullpen management right even when he's trying to steal Francona's schtick? Leaving Lorenzen to throw pitch 41 to Rizzo when he had struggled in both innings while a power lefty was warming in the pen is quite something.
