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.

    I’m at the game—woot!

    If the streak breaks, it’s not my fault.

    Brewers lose Wade Miley to Tommy John surgery.

    25 games played with a -85 run differential.  insane.

    White Sox DFA Bailey Horn. I'm thinking the Cubs would love to get him back although they probably won't have a decent chance of claiming him without another swap.

    WSox also call up former Cub Rafael Ortega (and additionally Tommy Pham). They are hurting and having a gawd awful April.

    White Sox DFA'd Bailey Horn.

    He wasn't producing good results in Charlotte (AAA).

    But Jed might bring him back with that open 40man spot. Then try the "sneak him thru waivers" gambit.

    Oh my, now I will have nightmares of me sitting in the bowels of the Wrigley security detention cell.

    One more thing...

    One of the reasons I come to this site...

     ...in addition to Arizona Phil, who is, as we all know, a treasure trove of well-written fresh information, honest evaluation, and sneaky-subtle humor regarding the entire Cub organization...

    ... is CubbyBlue and Tim's fantastic and timely visual takes on the Cubs (to be fair, he does have a much broader Chicago-flavored brush well beyond the Cubs).  Thanks for so many memorable images.  I am fortunate to own (one of my prize possessions) a print that I framed (55/200) of "The Last Out" with KB's shit-eating grin as he fields the series winning out of the 2016 WS.

    Tim, will you visit me if I do the text security thingy and description: Tim S? Or will I find myself in a Cub detention cell.

    i.e. "or send a text message to 773-839-**** with the keyword "Friendly" and include your seat location and a description of your issue.

    Incredible moment. Huge part of the fun of working there is when something magic like that happens, and you get to interact with baseball fans.

    That bear hug was indeed awesome. Word is that Dansby has become an outstanding clubhouse leader and that moment really demonstrated it. That reaction was one of a proud coach/mentor who’s student just excelled. I’m not even sure who was more overjoyed, Dansby or PCA. A veteran expressing that kind of unabashed support and enthusiasm for a struggling rookie is beyond fantastic to see.

    BAHAHA! I've actually not seen a single fight, but can't wait to see 70 degrees for sure!
