6/18 World Champion Cubs (Lackey) @ Pirates (Taillon) 12:35 CT CSN/MLBN/670

John Lackey's pitching. Happy Father's Day.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Father of the Year, Addison Russell, gets the day off.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Crap. I forgot that I'd sworn off starting game threads until Lackey was DFA'd. He's already taken me down twice. Perhaps I should do the opposite and keep starting threads on Lackey Day until it becomes impossible not to DFA him.

[Gilby]

Forfeit, save the bullpen, and let everyone have a nice father's day.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Hypothetical question: How hard would the wind have to be blowing in at Wrigley for Lackey to not give up a homer?

[UMFan83]

John Lackey's pitching. Happy Father's Day.

 

More time to spend with our kids/fathers, what a great gift Cubs!

[Cubswin11]

No Bryant again today, hopefully there isn't a injury there. The meatball in me hopes its punishment for not making that play in the 5th last night, because that will show him.

 

LaStella playing third should be a thing never allowed, he's nearly as bad there as Montero is at catcher and he probably doesn't doesn't even get a glove on the ball Bryant messed up last night

[Derwood]

Nice start

[imb]

Why is Bryant dead, wtf

[UMFan83]

So Rizzos 5 games leading off have led to: HR, HR, BB (after a long barely foul drive), 1B and 2B

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

How many HR's is Lackey going to give up today? I am guessing 3.

[UMFan83]

2016 Javy would have done an acrobatic improbably slide into second

[UMFan83]

Today's "improbable error made just to piss Lackey off" brought to you by Javy Baez turning a possible DP into 0 outs.

[Schwarber Fan]

I'm sure calm and collected John Lackey won't let that error affect the rest of this inning.

[NotSoSober]

Molina ruined Javy during the WBC

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Look at Lackey go.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Make them pay, Willy.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

every time this umpire calls a strike I have a split second where I think I'm playing Twisted Metal and Grasshopper is after me

[UMFan83]

Willy!

[UMFan83]

Ok guys need 4-5 more to Lackeyproof this game

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Ok guys need 4-5 more to Lackeyproof this game

it appears you accidentally put a dash in there

[BigSlick]

This is a welcome surprise with a somewhat B team lineup

 

Lackey is gonna give up a minimum of 3 homers so feast on this while you can

[UMFan83]

It's almost as if Heyward and Almora are not ideal 4 and 5 hitters

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Contreras is locked in at the plate his at bats lately have been very good.
