8/11 Nationals (Roark) @ Cubs (Lester), 3:05 PM CDT ABC7, FS1

[TMan92]

Murphy has the range of a brontosaurus

[Schwarber Fan]

Cmon, Javy... need more there.

[UMFan83]

Javy’s so strong. Off the bat I thought that was going to be a pop fly that wouldn’t score the run

[UMFan83]

Lmao Rizzo why even get on base

[TMan92]

Stop horsefeathering running

[Schwarber Fan]

Slowest team ever.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

This has been tough to watch today.

This has been tough to watch today.

 

I’d say it’s going on 3 weeks. Amazingly though our division lead has only increased.

[TMan92]

Would be really cool if Lester could get the same strike zone.

[raw]

If Lester can hold them to no more than 4 thru 6, Cubs will win this game.

[Schwarber Fan]

If Lester isn’t going to get either corner, forget about it.

[Regular Show]

If Lester can hold them to no more than 4 thru 6, Cubs will win this game.

 

I wish I had your confidence. I'm just not feeling it today.

[Schwarber Fan]

Game over.

[TMan92]

Well we found our lefty out of the pen for the playoffs

[UMFan83]

Man he’s just like done. Only hope is that he has some sort of arm fatigue or something he’s trying to pitch through

I didn't have confidence in the "if" part.

[Cubswin11]

Lester really sucks

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Wish Lester would’ve been lined up vs Max

[TMan92]

What is Lester’s FIP now vs actual ERA

[Cubswin11]

Monty should take a start from Lester when he comes back from his break. Let Jon take like a 7-9 day rest. Hope that helps

[Old Style]

Hamels is the ace of this staff.

[Schwarber Fan]

The ratio of time from top to bottom of innings has been incredible.

[raw]

So, is this it for Lester? 31 or more starts every year since 2008, with 20 more playoff starts (and 2 relief appearances). 34 isn't ancient, but it's conceivable that that arm is pretty close to being done.
