3/29/18 CUBS (Ol' Man Lester) @ Jeets' Gift Basket (Urena) 11:40 CST ESPN(out of market)/WGN

[Banedon]

Uh, what was that Jon?

[squally1313]

Between Lester's typical early season struggles and the fact that this game was over about 1.3 seconds after it started, I'm not going to worry about him today. Get your five innings and let Montgomery/Wilson mop up.

Also, these new WGN graphics are really bad.

[gobigred]

Cardinals down 1-0

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Cardinals are losing.

[Banedon]

Cardinals down 1-0

 

Without a hit for the Mets.

[Cubswin11]

Heyward!

[David]

Heyward!

[Aaron_Kennelly]

J-Hey for MVP

[Cubfanintheknow]

He's fixed!

[UMFan83]

What is this sorcery?

[javy knows my name]

Heyward fixed! Javy discipline!!!!

[Bertz]

Heyward might be on to something with this whole standing 30 feet from the plate thing. He gets jammed by anything even vaguely inside, so if he stands far enough away that anything that jams him is a ball, maybe good things happen?

[gobigred]

should have bunted

[Cubswin11]

Damn

[David]

Why the horsefeathers are you swinging at anything

[NotSoSober]

Why is he even swinging?

[Banedon]

Ok so, why did russell not score on that heyward double?

[BigbadB]

NO HOME RUNS IN THE THIRD? THAT'S BS!

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

Cards no longer losing...

It's like the bizarro version of Rizzo's approach. He's so far off the plate that it might fool umpires into calling anything away a ball.

It was a rocket. Heyward barely got in at 2nd even on the relay.

[David]

Lester should've gone up with the bat glued to his shoulder FFS

[Bull]

Love me some Chili!!!

[UMFan83]

Heyward fixed! Javy discipline!!!!

 

I too am proud of Javy for accepting his intentional walk and not yelling at the pitcher to stop being a wuss and pitch to him
