Dudes story is weird. Out of American baseball for like 4 years. Goes to Europe and plays in Italy. Cubs see him with his Italian team in Mesa and sign him
I haven’t seen it talked about but Lester has been fucking terrible after hurting himself after his hot start to the season.
He was amazing first time though the Dodger lineup. Second time he's been crushed. Dodgers are the best club in the NL. He will be ok
I’m not just talking about tonight. He’s been really bad since his injury. I want to say it was his hammy about a month back.
The balls are 100% juiced. The MLB can't even continue to take the position that they aren't. I just don't think some of these guys have made such drastic career changes by adjusting their swing and launch angle. The craziest one, to me, is people who think LaStella isn't juicing. He made an "adjustment" to his swing and has hit 15 HRs this season (10 in the previous 5 seasons). Who is believing that story?
Just look at most of the dodgers hitters as well... guys who never did shit now are all world players. I'm sure it's running wild in baseball. No chance the league cracks down. Can't afford another scandal
MLB made some "adjustments" to the ball this year, and they went too far. Home run numbers are a joke this year.
Well, data shows it was at the all star break in 2015 when they juiced the ball. Every year since the HR record has been broken. This year the increase is so insane that, in my opinion, it's not just the ball.
Adding Kimbrel will help but just like the last two years the Dodgers are clearly a better team than us once again. Although that doesn’t mean we can’t get hot and potentially beat them in a best of 7 series. Hopefully Bellinger will have cooled down a bit by October. Guy is on a fucking tear to start the year.
If he was on any other team, I would love watching him play. But god damn, I hate the fucking dodgers.
I don’t think they are clearly the better team. That series in LA was very close. The Cubs also had a close series in Chicago that the cubs won. I fully expect these two teams in the NLCS
Leave to the Cubs to make the pitcher with one of the highest era’s in baseball look like a CY young winner
What shall I complain about tonight? This guy has a 6.2 something era and the only good we get off him is a leadoff HR. Bitch about hammels? He hasn’t given up a run tonight. I got it, Leave it upto the Cubs to make the beer to spoil on a warm night. STFU
Yup. The fucking Dodgers, with limitless payroll, spending like a team that prints money should. While we, a team that prints money, tries to skimp when we have generational talent.
Dodgers spend because they already have the TV deal. It’s easy to for them to go all out. I would hope this is the final offseason we pretend to be poor
The issue isn't that we don't spend money. The issue Is that the people we spend money on fucking suck.
Marrow tossed from 135ft. I have no clue if we see him back but that's the first positive progress report i've seen on him in months
