7/19 Cubs (Lester) vs Fathers (Lauer) 1:20CDT NBC Chicago

[abuck1220]

this defensive catcher guy is working out great.

[soccer10k]

Should have let Lester field it. At least the runner would still be on first.

[BigSlick]

i'm finding the very bad defense lately very vexing, and it would be cool if Joe used some of his Joe magic to make sure it stopped

[soccer10k]

Letting Lester face the top of the order for the 4th time doesn’t seem smart.

[BigSlick]

ok, this is some found money with Lester - you're allowed to take him out now

[NotSoSober]

Now that Len keeps mentioning "sparkles" in whatever term, did that originate here?

[Schwarber Fan]

Gotta respect BDJ

[Old Style]

Gotta respect BDJ

I agree with Suarez Fan.

[TMan92]

Lester is a horse.

[Brian]

what a damn warrior

[BigSlick]

well done bud. you dealt with some very bad luck and really hitter friendly weather and kept the Cubs in the game.

 

Now lets see what this....bullpen can do (with Joe doing everything he can to mismanage it)

Lol, Bote watching a hanging slider.

[TMan92]

Two pitches down the middle.

[UMFan83]

So horsefeathering lost up there

[We Got The Whole 9]

I'd like to say he was looking fastball but he didn't swing at those in the zone either

[TMan92]

Double switch Bote and bring in Schwarber.

[BigSlick]

i really love how this lineup just furiously races through their at bats like they're an annoyance to do away with

[TMan92]

Cishek in for the millionth time.

[TMan92]

Bryant = Athlete

[BigSlick]

Kris Bryant owns

0/3 with 3 Ks for Russell

 

Robel rotting on the bench.

To be fair, thats a very Robel line almost 1/2 the time

 

He has never done that since his promotion

[UMFan83]

Wow I didnt realize the Padres have 3 different guys with more HRs this year than our leader in dongs. And that doesn't include Tatis who would probably have more than 22 HRs by now if he wasn't hurt.

don't worry, if he continues to have a 40% K rate, he will

I was marveling at the same thing earlier
