Plus now we are up 5-1.
Plus, plus he is pitching well.
It may very well work but I don't agree with this move at all.
Same, but that is what they are paying Joe for. I mean, let the guy get one more out. He is pitching SO well.
Oh well.
I'm always nervous when Lester pitches because guys get on base and then steal like crazy. Basically every single is a double.
This move makes me nervous. Kyle was pitching well, one borderline pitch leads to a walk and he's out? It seems Madden was waiting for a reason to take him out.

I wonder if a significant part of that move was to get Ross's defense in there too.
Well this move was an F.
Well it wouldn't be the Cubs if this was easy. Still have the lead.

Thanks Maddon. Everyone knows you're the smartest guy in the room now.
I can't put into words how frustrating that inning was.
Dear Lord...
Well clearly Ross was put in for his offense....
Well at least Ross got 1 of them back!
I just hope Joe doesn't go to Chapman too soon tonight!
I'm feeling a run with Fowler, Schwarber, and Bryant.
More runs.
Oh well, Lester for one more then Chapman?
Yup, but it's looking like Chapman will come in the 8th.
I think he is pulling Lester too soon now. Lester is getting in a groove. Let him take the 8th.
I think Maddon is pulling guys too quickly.
I agree but at the same time I think now is the right time. I'd rather see Chapman in now than in a jam in the middle of the inning.
Or Lester comes back out, I'm okay with that.
Welp, I was wrong! haha
