He was their #9 prospect at his pinnacle. Don't fall in love with #9 prospects.

Also, at that time, the Braves had the 25th best farm system, according to a Bleacher Report article I just googled.

Fuck You, Lester

I know it's coming.

Does Soler have a spot on this team next year? They've improved without him in the lineup

Do we cut Lester or murder him?

Anyone who thinks there is a debate between Arietta or Lester starting the Wild Card game should be punched in the face.

See ya in a week

We need to make a list of Cubs players who deserve to die.

cut his bum ass. i don't want to see his lazy suck ass

Lester and then Ross just by proxy

Way to stay out of the big inning though. Hopefully he found it and shuts em down now

Atta boy, Jon.

And it was reported on a scoreboard update that Arietta will be starting the 1 gamer.

will. not. happen.

Good news: Streaming game at work
Bad news: Only the St Louis feed is available

They're giving Lester a little shit for not having a good year at the plate .... I mean, really?

And now he gets a hit ...

Big game Jon

If Ross wasnt signed, the Cubs would have a 37 game lead on the Cards

brilliant strategy to put a guy who can't throw in center field

The St Louis mopes have also a few times now harped on Metheny for not altering the outfield in some form or fashion ... I have no idea if this is a trend or just started ... and they're saying the Cubs smell blood in the water and the Cards "not much clicking right now with their starters" (players or pitchers, I don't know) ... so they're being somewhat fair about things ... Buck sure as hell wouldn't have.

I usually harp on him for his shitty pseudo-jazz guitar playing.

Matheny gives me the creeps for some reason. Seems like an All-American guy who would invite you on a camping trip and then hunt you for sport.
