8/6 Cobs (Lester) vs A's (Anderson) 7:05 NBCSCH+

[Sammy Sofa]

MORE LIKE BIG [expletive] FESTER.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Going to have to nut up and get us through at least 4 Jon

[Jaxbro]

Seems like clockwork when Jon has a quick efficient first inning an inevitable 30 pitch inning follows

[Derwood]

This isn't on the ump. Lester just doesn't have it. He's missing everywhere

[Edith Cox]

Sucks the wind is blowing in. If Lester is going to suck at least we could have a shot in a shootout.

[Edith Cox]

We are going to need 3 innings from position players

[Derwood]

getting BABIP'd to death when he isn't walking people

[TMan92]

Almora completely horsefeathers this whole inning, and likely game, up.

 

Not really

[BigSlick]

This is “get shellacked” Jon today. Oh well. Get em tomorrow

[Jaxbro]

Bring me Colin Rea

[UMFan83]

Getting far more bad outings than good with Lester these days. Came in with a 5.15 his last 14 starts after starting the year on fire.

 

 

I’m so sorry for all the pain I’ve caused this board with my arbitrary statistics

Well, this rapidly escalated to, "let's sit back and watch this goon try to un horsefeathers himself" levels.

Last 8 starts he has a 3.5 era, 3.5 FIP, 3.8 xFIP. Gone at least 5.2 in all but one start every start, 6+ in 5 and given up 0-3 runs in 6 of them. He has these clunky blowups every now and then and he more than keeps them in most games. Almora fucked this whole inning up.

[TMan92]

Now we are really fucked

[Edith Cox]

Dear lord another guy hurt

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Un horsefeathering real

[Cubswin11]

Started the inning with a flyball that should’ve been caught, a K and soft contact to RF.

[OleMissCub]

Inning from hell

[Derwood]

Caratini is dead.

 

Rizzo should pitch, Schwarber catch, Strop in LF and Underwood at 1B

[Schwarber Fan]

What a train wreck of a game. Tony Kemp will pitch tonight.

[Sammy Sofa]

Poor Vic. Good throw and good tag, too.

Unless he's somehow throwing his voice and creepily ASMRing in Lester's ear, I'm pretty sure the bulk of this is on the pitcher.

[Cubswin11]

Make Almora pitch the rest of the game

[Schwarber Fan]

I’m getting pretty sick of the Mets. And the Pirates for the opposite reason. Can’t wait until we struggle to get Frazier and Newman out when we play them coming up.

[cl smooth]

Let’s cut the horsefeathers and be honest: Lester just doesn’t have it tonight.
