Strasburg is already not pitching the same. The cold or nerves?

the mold

I dont see Kluber having two bad starts in a row.

On lark I checked his starts this year, and he did have a tendency for bad starts to clump together, especially the first month of the season. He's actually on a streak of two mediocre starts in a row. So there's hope!

 

[Velcro Fly]

Sure looked like he went around on that...

And of course they score on that bullshit

 

[Mrbob]

Oh my God a check the wasn't and our best defender makes an error.

 

[Windu]

Nationals offense this series has been powered by the Cubs defense.

 

[Rock And Roll]

TBS strike zone is way the fuck off again. What else is new.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Extend this series please.

 

[gamz]

Game is already annoying me. Another fucking error and bullshit calls.

 

[Mrbob]

This isn't looking good.

 

[Windu]

Marlins Man spotted.

He's going to pitch 4 innings with 80 pitches. You know this, I know this. Wouldn't be surprised to see Lackey come in today.

Nailed it.

 

[Mrbob]

Whew. Now keep Lackey away.

 

[gamz]

Would rather see Monty.

 

[bebop242]

Lester? Interesting.

 

[gamz]

Cubs Starters 1ER is now 4 games.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Why would you slide

 

[gamz]

Is he safe. On my phone.

 

[Windu]

Is he safe. On my phone.

Yes. On 2nd.

 

[gamz]

Gotta hold em right where they are.

 

[Velcro Fly]

The difference between being able to get ahead in counts versus not is apparent in this game.

 

[Mrbob]

Interesting that Joe is burning Lester today.

 

[big ander]

Lester's the right call. Wanna hold em from here on out and take the lead, and even if they can't do that Hendricks starts tomorrow.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Jon Lester what a guy

 

[gamz]

Interesting that Joe is burning Lester today.

Looks like the right call. Looks fantastic.

We got Hendricks tommorow and everyone else.

 

[DireStr8s]

TBS needs to re-calibrate their strikezone display

 

[Rock And Roll]

TBS needs to re-calibrate their strikezone display

It is revolting and once again causing people to go UMP IS STUPID THATS WAY OFF THE PLATE. Seriously, they need to get this shit off the TV until it is perfected because it's always a joke on TBS.

 

[Mrbob]

Yeah I don't disagree with the move, just that if the Cubs lose today and Hendricks struggles tomorrow game five could rest on Lackey.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

I kind of feel bad for Nats fans.

Every passing inning gives them more and more hope, hope that will just be crushed when they inevitably lose this game in the 9th

 

[gamz]

Gotta give it to Strausburg. Stepped up today.

 

[bebop242]

I hope you are correct because right now I feel like how the Nat fans must have felt in the seventh during game 2.

 

[Mrbob]

That offspeed pitch is devouring Cubs batters today.

 

[Tankard]

These changeups are nasty.

 

[gamz]

I hope Dusty takes him out. It's are only chance. Dude is killing it today. Wow

 

[grandjedi6]

Damn change up

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Amazing performance by Strasburg. Perhaps the best of his career in such a game.

I hope Dusty takes him out. It's are only chance. Dude is killing it today. Wow

He's over 100 pitches now. He's probably done.

 

[ViciousDS]

That offspeed pitch is devouring Cubs batters today.

You think after 12 strikeouts they would know it's coming on that full count

 

[gamz]

Amazing performance by Strasburg. Perhaps the best of his career in such a game.



He's over 100 pitches now. He's probably done.

I'd be surprised if he's pulled.

Like Dusty would be an idiot.

 

[Rock And Roll]

I'd be surprised if he's pulled.

Never underestimate Dusty.

Spoiler

I think he keeps going too, either a clean inning or until he lets someone on base

 

[Chuck]

Strausburg so moldy tonight

 

[Choomp]

Osht he’s out

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Lester with the pickoff

 

[big ander]

Lester got em!

 

[ViciousDS]

LESTER!!!!!

 

[gamz]

Wait! WTF?!? Tell me what happen guys...

 

[Orbis Tabula]

What the fuck was Zim doing out there?

 

[Dr_LawyerCop]

I fucking love Lester

 

[RumblingRosco]

You know what, props Lester. I'm having Pham flashback PTSD right now though.

 

[Windu]

Probably best for the base runner to go to 2nd on his move to first.

 

[bebop242]

Wait! WTF?!? Tell me what happen guys...

Lester threw out Zimmerman at first. Safe on field reversed on replay.

Rizzo tagged his foot before his hand hit the bag.

 

[big ander]

Killer relief performance by Lester, as key as Strasburg's dominant start. Let's see the offense take advantage of this momentum

Wait! WTF?!? Tell me what happen guys...

Zim was leading big at first, on the second pickoff attempt by Lester Rizzo got a great tag on his foot that was called safe but clearly out on replay.

Was it a lob or strong throw?
