3/28/19 CUBS (Lester) @ The Texas School Book Depository (Minor) - 3:05 CST - WGN

Bryant and Rizzo each walking about 100 times a year in front of Javy seems to be a pretty good plan for success.

I think, ideally, vs RHP I’d like to see it go Zobrist/Bryant/Rizzo/Schwarbs/Javy 1-5. Get all the OBP in front of Javy.

 

Switch Bryant and Rizzo just to break up the lefties, but other than that, works for me.

[CubInOK]

Javy will have 300 HRs, 300 Ks, and play Gold Glove shortstop. He’ll be worth like 40 WAR.

[squally1313]

3 batter minimum is a good rule

 

Can someone explain to me why someone who has been throwing warm up pitches needs to throw 8 more warm up pitches after a 400 foot jog (or, preferably, a 30 second bullpen cart ride)? I get it at the beginning of the inning, but these guys have just thrown at least a dozen pitches usually. If they aren't ready when you make the move, either don't bring them in or deal with the consequences.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Javy is the only Cub I want to succeed so this game is good.

I want this clip played on repeat at my funeral

 

I want it on repeat on my honeymoon

Only explanation I’ve heard is that the game mound feels different than the bullpen mound and they need some pitches to get s feel for it

[Gilby]

Lester will find a way to get good results. Somehow.

[Cubswin11]

Prettt damn solid outing by Lester given it’s OD and in Coors Jr. I’ll take 20+ more of those please.

Bring in Chatwood for the 8th. I know we’re off tomorrow but no need to use the good pen guys if you don’t need to. Ideally he gets through 2 but if starts to go bad you yank him quickly.

[squally1313]

Maybe the first few innings were just like a tribute to Chili. Like how a football team will run one play with 10 guys.

[OleMissCub]

Go on with your bad self, 47

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Revenge SZN

[soccer10k]

KB DONG

[David]

We're going to score 900 runs this year

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Bryant hitting opposite field home runs is maybe the single most exciting omen you can ask for

[Andy]

The jet stream to right center is crazy. KB seemed like he got more of his flyout in the 1st.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Bonus Revenge for being an Oppo Dong for Bryant

[minnesotacubsfan]

sooooooo glad the chili is gone

[We Got The Whole 9]

[expletive] I need more of that this year

[David]

Oh man the Santo Al Fonseca story kills me

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Baez is no Tuffy

[Andy]

Javy was so close to #3

Yep. It’s great.

Pat just told the 2003 Alou foul down the line bad call story as though it was in 2001, which is funny because coomer was on that 2001 team
