Where's Lester?

pitched 3+ yesterday

 

[Windu]

If this goes to extras the cubs are done.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Wade is just hanging shit

 

[Velcro Fly]

If this goes to extras the cubs are done.

then the John Lackey instead of Hector Rondon play will pay off

 

[DirtyManos]

What a swing lol

 

[LJ11]

Man, the Nats should have killed a few of those pitches.

 

[Doogdogg]

Pitched last game

oh that's right. I thought it was the other day. lol

 

[gamz]

lack and Wilson left.

Lol

 

[zulux21]

Wade is just hanging shit

the next inning will be interesting.

either he will try to conserve some stuff and risk being hit, or he will go all in and potentially have nothing left for the 9th.

should be exciting either way

 

[AnimeFantasy]

Davis threw like 4 hangers and 1 good one and got an out...

 

[CaptainZombie]

This game is really going to come down to John Lackey isn't it.

Lackey or Bosio will close it out for us.

 

[JohnTinker]

Inning 15

John Lackey records his 19th out

Dusty Baker falls asleep on a bag of sunflower seeds

 

[gamz]

What a bat shit game. Dodgers are licking their chops.

[Syphon Filter]

I mean, even if you throw it straight down the middle at 70 MPH you still have like a 25% chance that the hitter will get out given how things go with the home run derby

[gamz]

Can Hendricks start again this game?

 

[JohnTinker]

Joe Maddon pulling some funky bullpen shenanigans? You don't say

 

[Malo]

I need extras for maximum fuckery

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Cubs should trade for Aroldis mid game

 

[Velcro Fly]

Can only end with either Lackey or a position player closing it out in the 9th for the Cubs

 

[gamz]

No one warming

 

[Mrbob]

Wade get this inning done 1, 2, 3 please.

Can only end with either Lackey or a position player closing it out in the 9th for the Cubs

This game feels like it will end in pure fuckery.

 

[Velcro Fly]

I imagine starting an inning clean with no one on base is going to be good for Wade's psyche here.

 

[AnimeFantasy]

I feel like Maddon would put in Baez or something to close before going to Wilson or Lackey

 

[zulux21]

I imagine starting an inning clean with no one on base is going to be good for Wade's psyche here.

that might help...
but he has to at least know he hasn't pitched multiple innings for a long time, and that could screw with him getting in a groove knowing he has another inning after this to pitch.

come on murph show some post season magic. get on base.

 

[Mrbob]

Even if the Cubs win this game I don't see how they survive two more rounds with this bullpen.

 

[Windu]

Happy Friday everyone.

 

[jman2050]

Well that's not a good start.

 

[Mrbob]

Yup another walk.

 

[zulux21]

good start. keep it going.

come on blown save.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Another fucking walk. It just feels like a matter of time before the Nats put up like 5

 

[JohnTinker]

Please God send it to extras

 

[jman2050]

Davis has nothing

 

[Syphon Filter]

Happy Friday everyone.

same, and we're still here lol.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Cmon wade

 

[Velcro Fly]

Wade Davis looks done out there.

 

[friskykillface]

Lol these pitches

SHOOK

 

[zulux21]

Wade Davis looks done out there.

the kicker being by pitch speeds he doesn't seem to be conserving himself for the 9th at all.

he is actually pitching his normal speeds if not a bit harder than normal (at least by averages on mlb.com vs gameday)

if he didn't swing at the 3-1 it would have been two walks.

 

[Cels]

rendon got a big fat one for strike 1 but he was probably taking all the way

 

[Velcro Fly]

TBS just has every Nats HR in this series queued up to replay man this is fucking gross

 

[brianjones]

this game..

 

[davidwhangchoi]

why the cubs making things hard?

 

[friskykillface]

Yeesh
😂

 

[chicagocubsfan]

I need Wade Davis from KC 2015 in here

 

[jman2050]

THIS

GAME

 

[zulux21]

guess that works, wade had to pitch two extra pitches because he swung at the 3-1.

I need Wade Davis from KC 2015 in here

2015 wade was never asked to pitch more than 3 outs.

 

[Doogdogg]

rendon got a big fat one for strike 1 but he was probably taking all the way

Of course, Davis threw 7 straight ball
