For all of the joking we like to make about announcers making "grinding" comments or grit and mind game non sense, the Cub hitters really have done a great job of grinding out ABs. We were just bound to score runs eventually with our approaches (Heyward excluded)
We should create a SuperPac that puts out targeted ads to managers reenforcing how yippy Jon Lester is. Leaked email insinuations. Recorded, off-the-record locker room conversations, the works.
i always get worked up about that too, but next inning is the bottom of the order so he'll have easier at bats. But isn't the bottom of their order kind of the middle of their order?
This could only be the case, even with a clincher, if you already owned a jersey of all the other position players, all of the other starting pitchers, and most of the bullpen and bench.
