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 would say also in the bright side column is Busch looked pretty good overall at the plate. Alzolay…man, that hurts but most of the time he’s not giving up a homer to that guy. To me the worst was almonte hanging that pitch to Garcia. He hung another one to the next hitter too and got away with it on an 0-1.

    amaya blocked like 6-8 of smyly's pitches in the dirt very cleanly...not even an exaggeration, smyly threw a ton of pitches bouncing in tonight.

    neris looking like his old self was a relief (no pun), too.

    In looking for bright spots the defense was outstanding tonight. The “stars” are going to need to shine quite a bit brighter than they did tonight offensively though for this to be a successful season.

    Good baseball game. Hopefully Steele is pitching again in April (but I’m not counting on it).

    boo.

    smyly to face the 2/3/4 hitters with a man on 2nd in extras.

    this doesn't seem like a 8 million dollar managerial decision.

    i 100% agree with you, but i dunno how jed wants to run things.  the default is delay.  i would choose brown.

    like hellfrozeover says, could be smyly since he's technically fresh and stretched.

    anyway, on a pure talent basis....brown is the best option.

    Use pitchers when you believe they're good. Don't plan their clock.

    I'm sorry. I'm simply anti-clock/contract management. Play guys when they show real MLB potential talent.

    If Brown hadn't been hurt with the Lat Strain he would've gotten the call, and not Wick.

    Give him a chance. 

    But Wesneski probably gets it

    alzolay...bro...
