Baez is not actually a good defensive SS. He has done decent in his few starts this year but in the minors he had a ton of errors.

Let's start getting to Harvey a little bit.

But not this inning because it's Baez and then a black hole of suck.

Hmmm the ump is giving Harvey a lot of room off the plate. That is not gonna be good.

It's like game 1 of the DS with Lackey getting that super-wide zone.

I understand why Lester was signed and over time it will make sense but his weaknesses were so much easier to hide in the AL and while this isn't all on Lester's shoulders almost half of his starts this year he has gotten 2 or fewer runs in support and they're 5-10 in those games.

The Cubs didn't get their first hit until the 6th inning in game 1 of the LDS. I'm okay with this entire series following the same pattern as the last one.

I never majored in business or anything, but you'd think that if you price them high enough to where people don't even want them for an LCS game, maybe they're too expensive?
