Diamondbacks @ Cubs: Godly vs. Lester (Game 133)

The Cubs get back at it, after a much-needed day off.

AZ (65-69): RHP Zack Godley (4-0, 1.90)
CHC (75-57): LHP Jon Lester (8-10, 3.59)
First pitch: 1:20pm

Lester got roughed up (6 IP, 5 ER) by the Dodgers on Saturday and took the loss. He went 2-2 with a 5.04 for the month. AZ is 13-74 (.176) against him. Goldschmidt is 3-6 with a HR.

Godley, the 25y/o South Carolinian rookie, has been good in his handful of games for the D’Backs--5 appearances, 3 starts. He pitched in relief and got the win against the Nationals in his last outing (3.2 IP, 1 ER). Austin Jackson, the only Cub to face him, is 1-2.

Ray vs. Arrieta on Saturday and De La Rosa vs. Hendricks on Sunday.

Go Cubs!

Len just said Cubs are last in the majors in batting average. I had to look that up to confirm it. Methinks the opposite will be true in a few years.

Lester does not get the Michael Jordan treatement from umpires. He really has to fight for his strikes sometimes.

one of the slowest men in the game is taking a 20+ft lead off 2nd. i think the "he's working on throwing over" knockdown scare has worn off in the 4th inning. it keeps working, though. this is at least the 3rd time someone from the club has announced "he's working on throwing over" and the opposing team being cautious the next game. they should do this before every start.

Addison Russell Have a day!! /another diaper dandy

Cubs with lowest batting average in MLB but highest walk total in NL, as Rizzo clubs a grand slam

Baez homer 3-3 Send bullpen home go get your complete game Lester

Jon Lester scored his first career run today. And his 2nd. Now I see why hit bats 8th.

Kinda weird stat -- the NL has 5 teams that are at least 20 games under -- it was 6 before the Brewers swept the Pirates -- and there are none in the AL. Oakland has the worst record in the AL at 18 under. Hunh.

Even when logically I know I should root for the Cardinals, I cannot. I think it's worse than the Packers thing. I think it's literally the worst thing.

    suzuki says he injured his oblique running to 1st, not swinging.  okay.  it's gonna be that kind of 2024 cubs year, huh?

    i would say that's good news compared to screwing it up swinging, but i'm not familiar with the recovery time of people screwing up their oblique by running.

    right side is at least different from his left side oblique injury last year.

    A bit more Jewish take on one of my favorite Cubs, Kenny Holtzman. His 9-0 season while serving in the National Guard and being available to pitch on weekends was one of my coolest teen recollections.

    Suzuki out with oblique strain. Canario indeed is called up. No word on Morel so that might be a red herring (or a red digit).

    AZ lineup is posted but Counsell is always late to post his lineup.

    Best hitter: IL with oblique strain

    Second best hitter: hasn’t looked the same since jamming his right hand during a swing

    Third best hitter: playing through a sore hammy

    suzuki 10d IL.

    right oblique strain.  ow.  that's generally more than a 10d thing.

    cooper and morel are on the field doing pre-game stuff so it's not them...

    I'll always remember his 3-0 No-hitter against the Braves when Aaron's HR was blown back into the LF well and BIlly Williams made the catch with his back against the ivy.
