5/1: Cubs (Lester) @ Mariners (Gonzales) - 5:40 CDT - WGN

I'm told that the Cubs won last night, and apparently Bryant's exit velocity right now is just SICK, which is technically preferable to when he was making us all just SICK, period. Ideally this means he's due to unleash a bunch of spraying dongs any day now.

 

 

But at least today has a great start time! In fact, this is the optimum start time, and no baseball game should ever start later than this. This is ideal!

Was really surprised when they showed Encarnacion’s stats last night. That dude almost has 400 HR and seems to have a good shot at 500.

Please somebody, anybody, explain why Almora should be getting more PAs than Bote right now.

 

Why does Zagunis exist if he isn't in this game.

Let alone batting leadoff. Truly logic-defying at this point.

[Tim]

Well, he did hit that 73 hopper that made it through as a single because the defenders almost ran into each other.

 

Clutch.

What a great AB by our leadoff hitter

[HawkeTrackler]

Send this loser to Iowa. Good god

[Cubswin11]

Go horsefeathers yourself Almora

[Brian]

lol a 3 pitch K in between bases loaded walks

[Brian]

If Almora wasn't in the lineup Javy might have had a chance for hitting for the cycle in this inning

Beautiful day

Other than Almora, the at-bats this inning have been extraordinary.

[BigSlick]

I’m not used to watching an opponent melt down like this. Typically if a meltdown like this occurs the Cubs pitching staff is the one doing it.

This is huge with how worn down the bullpen is right now. Hopefully they can get through today with just Lester, Webster, and Chatwood.

[Old Style]

Losers should’ve scored more that inning.

Lester vs. Vogelbach:

 

[Brian]

if that would have been a double play Almora would have been responsible for 4 out of 9 Cubs outs

Flipping Chili, man.
