I feel like I'm missing something easy...

Did they drop the whole enter your cable provider details in on this? I remember they had that the last time I tried to watch a game through them.Laser Show said:FYI you can watch this on Watch ESPN.com

What the ESPN guys said is it allows LaStella to be like a second leadoff guy. But if he was so concerned about that, he could've just batted LaStella leadoff.

No, I heard that...but they said something about him batting 8th makes a double-switch easier.
Just because you can make that decision earlier in lineup and not maybe send a tiring pitcher back to mound if normal 8th place hitter makes an out?
It seems like you're over-complicating things for something that may or may not happen and in doing so you give bad hitters more ABs.

I agree. I understand that they are catching up with the times, but it kills everything that people love about Wrigley.canderson said:That video boad looks stupidly too bg. It dwarfs everything out there.
Exactly!Warning Track Speed said:I'd bat Lester in the leadoff spot. Get that wasted AB out of the way as early as possible so the rest of the offense can get to work.

Nah, I got asked for my provider. I never had to log-in with any personal info though. Just picked out Comcast from the list and I was good to go.Kilgore A.

I was stunned when he signed with the Cubs instead of retiring. I guess Theo feels like it's worth it with a young team and an adjusting Lester?Don Bradman said:Rossy needs to hang 'em up...

Shoulder surgery.... Dislocated it carrying his plate through the buffet table.E5 Yaz said:Did Kruk break his arm?
Kilgore A. Trout said:What are they talking about? Didn't Pedey start in the big leagues his rookie year on opening day?
You gotta have a good distribution on your plate. He probably had bread on one side and meat and macaroni on the other. Rookie mistake from a veteran of the buffet game.MuzzyField said:Shoulder surgery.... Dislocated it carrying his plate through the buffet table.
Yea, as previous posters mentioned, I think he meant MLB debut, throwing them into the fire on Opening Day.Kilgore A. Trout said:What are they talking about? Didn't Pedey start in the big leagues his rookie year on opening day?

srpat said:Pedey played 31 games in 2006 so maybe Theo means he never started a player in his first game on opening day?

His rookie year, yes. But he was up the year before for 31 games.
