Reminds me of Lester last year.

I am all for not giving Urias one side of the plate by at least putting some lefties up there. Heyward stands as far away as he can, afraid of getting hit in the face again, Rizzo stands as close as he can. Dont be surprised if Rizzo is hit tonight and not awarded first because his elbow was over the plate.

Its just an easy inning if Contrares makes last out. Still think Soler had good at bats and not putting him right back out there just negates what he did though.

I'd like to see Soler start tonight too, hard to get anything going with the limited ABs he gets.

So the move Urias uses to pick off a runner at first borders on being a balk so Maddon has alerted the umps to keep an eye on it. Of course the Cubs will need some base runners for that to even come into play.

Almost all lefties borderline on a balk. He has a great move that can be a balk. Whether they call it is a different story

Not the start I was hoping for to say the least.

Todd Hollandsworth had a bunch of video on Urias in the pregame he was breaking down in slow/start and stop motion. Seemed obvious after seeing that.

Julio Urias was born 1996.
John Lackey was drafted 1999.

what a throw and tag. jesus christ they needed to get out of that. 0 runs allowed. the cubs will score 1 eventually if the cubs pitchers can hold the dodgers without scoring for 10 or 15 innings

Nice play! Great throw and love how Russ put his body in front of the bag.

Now get some fucking runs this time!

Great play on both ends of that throw. Cmon Russel build off of that.
