Darvish was on the bubble but he has been better. Lester is the guy that really needs to stabilize right now.
You would seriously consider bringing up a starter who has never started in the major leagues, and have him replace Jon Lester in the rotation??

Wow.

The obligatory standing ovation for a player who hasn't been in the big leagues before.

The self-proclaimed best fans in baseball aren't doing it for the player's benefit, they do it to pat themselves on the back.

Maybe consider bringing him up now for a spot start to bump the starters all back/extra days rest. I think JL will be fine, seems like he had this same lull last season for whatever reason and came out of it fine even though that one angry guy here said he was done...haha.

Need to find out what Alozay is. Is he #1 starter that could be a TOR guy...after this year how much more does JL have?

And the Cubs trail due to Willson Contreras' 10th error.

The slowest baserunner in MLB gets from 1st to 3rd on a steal, and scores the game's only run thus far.

You just have to stop giving bases away with errors.

Course management!

Ump calls it a ball the entire at bat. Not on strike 3. Excellent form

It was a ball. It was a ball the entire at bat. It wasnt to close to take. The ump called it a ball for 3 fucking pitches. lol

Bad start to season, got hot for a few weeks, now back to playing like crap..

Better hope they can get a couple solo shots to win this game

Too many key hitters struggling right now. Baez, Contreras at the top of that list.

Wtf is going on? How can the offense collectively go cold all at once? Let's score some fucking runs.

That when others are supposed to step up..
But the problem is as I had pointed out..
The others in Heyward Schwarber etc. are pretty bad most of the time, so when the key hitters are struggling usually means the team gonna go south..
