De-chip-io again today I see.

It really is the essence of this place.

Embrace it.

[Saul Goodman]

Bump.

Oh, and Francisco Liriano was scratched from his scheduled start last night with a neck issue.

Get it up you, CubFaninHimesPark.

If this is some kind of swipe at Larry Himes, I approve.

Per Bleacher Nation:

Lester's 3.06 FIP is 21st best in baseball (just ahead of Michael Wacha) and his 3.11 xFIP is 15th best in baseball (just ahead of Carlos Martinez). By WAR (2.5), Lester has been the 19th most valuable starter in baseball this year.

After a very slow start, he's been as good as advertised. The shaky starts in Miami and Detroit contained a lot of bad batted ball luck. He's been known to finish strong and I know that past performance doesn't necessarily indicate future performance but HGH is a helluva drug.

So, this is a good signing so far.

I lol'd at a terrified Jon making David Ross run all the way out to get that comebacker to the mound.  Then I cried when he allowed a run.

Dadgummit.

That was pretty interesting, though I'm not sure Greg Maddux himself would've been able to turn that into an out.  That fucking ball fell into no man's land.

Greg Maddux himself would have made a damn play on it and managed not to fire it into the Taco Bell drive through though. In fact I'd give him better than 50/50 to get an out at first.

I personally would have fallen down on my way to it, picked it up and from one knee sent the Indians bullpen a present they would truly enjoy "10/10 would def purchase again".

The play was what it was. What bothered me was Ross' idiotic decision to fire the ball to 2nd when the CLE runner hadn't made any kind of turn at all.

With Lester on the mound somebody has to throw somewhere. Dammit.

His inability to field his position and hold runners is going to make him worthless in close playoff games. The Dodgers have all 4 runs because this guy can't play his position.

Oh good. You're here.
