2017 NLCS GAME 2 (Oct 15) Lester vs the old cub on the Hill. 6:30 CST TBS

Jesus Christ....

[Schwarber Fan]

I don’t trust a reliever on our roster in a tie game.

[Rex Buckingham]

Crap

God damn it. Turner doesn’t seem like a guy Javy should be so shifted on, he seems to spray it pretty well. Edited October 16, 2017 by Cubswin11

Damnit, I thought for sure Javy was going to be there.

This is what happens when your entire bullpen is worthless. Lester should not be in the game

[Derwood]

Eff this ginger leprechaun muh-fuh

[Brian]

this feels like a 2 run homer coming up

[Schwarber Fan]

The Dodgers have literally taken every close ball Lester has thrown in this game.

[David]

let's let this get as hairy as possible and then bring in cj

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Well, going to Q and Lester on short rest is gonna blow up in the Cubs' face. Of course, I'm not sure starting Lackey and Q on normal rest would've been better.

[Cubswin11]

Let’s go Carl!

[KatJ]

And THAT’S why Lester has been trying to nibble. They foul off pitches otherwise.

[LeonDurham]

Let’s see if it’s good cj or bad cj. Should know really soon. Like within 2 pitches.

[Schwarber Fan]

Lester’s done but how can you feel good about Edwards here?

[imb]

i feel like it's a 50 percent chance of dong

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Dammit, Jon battled all night and I thought he was out of it.

[Soul]

This bullpen MUST perform.

[DurbanJer]

Why do I know that Edwards is going to make this a 4 run game

[Billy_Buck]

This new "bases on four balls" rule is really killing the Cubs.

[Soul]

Lester’s done but how can you feel good about Edwards here?

He’s got this.

[squally1313]

Lester’s done but how can you feel good about Edwards here?

His entire career thus far?

Agree but it still seems forced and lessens our odds with the numbers/history of short rest starters.

Hindsight is 20-20. But I was hoping for lackey in game 1 knowing that the team is gassed and up against kershaw. Maybe lackey comes up big but a loss doesn’t kill you.
