So! Who wants to start 0-2 2K and bad defense over Tyler Flowers now? Anyone?
I'll choose option C...both Soto and Flowers are too horrific on defense and their offense isn't good enough to make up for it.

How the hell is Kevin Gregg one of the Reds setup guys. He is f***ing terrible.
3 straight games where their pen gave up a walk and then a homer in the 8th

I really don't like defensive replacements earlier than the 9th. Conor is a good hitter and forces the Tribe to try and have a lefty face him. Why not let him hit then insert Gordon for the 9th?
Oh well I will stop 2nd guessing for this game.
I thought Johnson should have ran for LaRoche and let him steal to get into scoring position

Stop it. There are two outs, you are up by three, and it took a perfect relay to get him out.
In that situation, being aggressive is fine.
Not a fan, as with his speed a single scores him from 2nd

A lot of pitchers have problems throwing off flat ground after being on the mound for a while.
Julian Tavarez was the worst

Cubs have won back to back games coming from behind now.
Reds are gonna trade Aroldis, aren't they? That team has no pitching outside of Cueto
This Cubs bullpen is pretty good. Great stuff to go with Maddon's ability to manage a bullpen should make this group one of the best in baseball. That Feldman deal gets more ridiculous every year
QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 02:19 AM)
The Lester stuff seems to be a very real issue. The guy hasn't thrown to 1st base since 2013, and for whatever reason people finally caught on. It almost seemed like the Cubs wanted to prove he could do it, and they found out why he hasn't......something is up.
He had nothing on his pitches tonight, which is odd coming after a week off. Their real ace goes tomorrow
