8/1 Diamondbacks (Corbin) @ World Champion and First Place Cubs (Lester) 7:05 CSN, CSN+(Big Z)

They'll send him out there for the 5th to "get the win" but where Lester's pitch count is and looking bigger picture the rest of the season he should probably be done after the 4th here.

[17 Seconds]

Lester won't make it the 5 innings for the win at this rate

 

he's already won

[Ding Dong Johnson]

DONGS - 1

strikeouts - 2000

If Montgomery comes in and pitches the rest of the game would he get the save and the win?

You can't get both

I don't think you can get both, but if you can then it would be up to the scorekeeper's discretion, like all 3+ inning saves.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Catchers aren't supposed to steal extra bases like that.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Just pipe some done the middle and get some quick contact and a 5-pitch inning.

Lame

[Ding Dong Johnson]

you’re on, Kelly...

[Gilby]

Lol at Lester Strode just waving in that last shot

[Transmogrified Tiger]

laughed way too hard at Willson throwing his whole body into that throw and Rizzo not even pretending to make a play on the runner for him

[Bryants Disco Ball]

It's so weird how pitching wins don't matter, yet they are so important.

[UMFan83]

Zambrano has to love that.

 

You think?

 

 

I'm ready for Z to become part of my everyday life again. I don't speak Spanish but I'll learn

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Alright, pack it in.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

that’s why he bats 3rd

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Pitcher wins are such a dumb stat.

[Sammy Sofa]

What a weird night for Lester.

[Derwood]

Reminiscent of that opening day game where Zambrano couldn't get out of the 5th despite the team winning by a ton (also against the D-Backs)

[Gilby]

Eh, I doubt it was just the win thing that Joe was looking at. You'd also prefer not to use 5 innings of relievers.

[Cubswin11]

Trying to chase and get a fictious, fairy tale win and putting your team in a spot with upped chances to lose a potential real, meaningful win is so horsefeathering dumb and bad managing

[Ding Dong Johnson]

should have sent Pollock on that fly ball to left

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Good damage control by Hector!!

This inspired me to go watch some Big Z HR highlights.

 

I was not let down.

[17 Seconds]

i bet it kills big z that he wasn't on the cubs team that won it all
