The left-hander, who enters with 1,954 career punchouts, is just three away from 500 as a Cub. Lester would be just the eighth lefty in Cubs history to reach that mark. Lester is among the National League leaders in strikeouts with 93 this season. He has already recorded two 10- strikeout games, and in another two games, he fanned nine. The veteran is 4-4 (3.83 ERA) in 15 starts this season, including one complete game. Justin Nicolino gets the call for the Marlins, facing the Cubs for the first time in his career. Nicolino is making his fifth start this season, looking for his first win (0-1, 5.06 ERA). The left-hander has gone just three innings in each of his last two starts. Three things to know about this game • Lester picked up his 150th career win on June 13 at the Mets. It's also his only win on the road this season. He's one of eight active pitchers with 150 career wins, joining teammate John Lackey, along with Bartolo Colon, CC Sabathia, Justin Verlander, Zack Greinke, Felix Hernandez and Jered Weaver. • Lester is 0-2 lifetime against Miami over four starts, with a 4.91 ERA. He has 18 strikeouts in 22 innings facing the Marlins, but he has given up 29 hits, including seven home runs. He has earned at least one win over the other 28 teams he has faced in his career. The former Red Sox hurler has never faced Boston. • Among the Cubs' current players, Nicolino has faced only one in his career. Jon Jay is 1-for-3 lifetime against Nicolino. -- Cubs.com Lackey, Cubs fall despite 3-hitting Marlins By Joe Frisaro and Glenn Sattell MIAMI -- When the season started, the Marlins used Jose Urena in a long-relief role. The 25-year-old has since become a stopper of sorts, especially in recent weeks. Urena scattered five hits over six shutout innings, and backed by a home run from Giancarlo Stanton, the Marlins edged the Cubs, 2-0, on Friday night at Marlins Park. Urena has now won his last five decisions. Mixing his pitches, Urena silenced the Cubs the night after the Marlins were routed, 11-1. "I think you see a guy that is pitching more," Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. "We know the power is there. He's using his changeup. He's using his slider. You still want him to continue to improve, but he's using [offspeed pitches], and it's making you think as a hitter. I think that's the one thing he has been able to do. He will use his change and throw his slider. As a hitter, it's getting to the point you can't always think you're getting a fastball." According to Statcast™, Urena's 93 pitches broke down into 19 four-seam fastballs, 20 two-seam fastballs, 29 sliders and 25 changeups. The right-hander got nine swinging strikes. "The difference 24 hours can make," said Cubs manager Joe Maddon. The strong showing by Urena, who has an ERA of 3.62 in five June starts, allowed Miami to shake off Thursday night's loss and even the four-game series. "Just go out there, be patient and try to get an out pitch-by-pitch," Urena said. Urena and Cubs right-hander John Lackey set the tone, making quick work for most of the night. Lackey allowed two runs (one earned) in six innings. "I felt really good," Lackey said. "I had a good thing going. [Catcher Miguel Montero] called a good game. We were executing a lot of pitches. Their guy pitched a little bit better." The Marlins got on the board in the third inning on Stanton's latest thunderous home run. The 27-year-old launched a laser shot off the batter's eye in center. Per Statcast™, it traveled a projected 458 feet, making it his third-longest homer this year. The exit velocity was 112.4 mph, and the ball had a 20-degree launch angle. Of his 19 home runs, 12 have been with exit speeds of at least 110 mph. Only Aaron Judge (15) has more. MOMENTS THAT MATTERED Slamming the door: Closing out narrow leads has been a struggle for the Marlins' bullpen, and the Cubs had a chance to threaten in the eighth inning. With Chicago trailing by two, David Phelps entered for Miami and walked Kris Bryant on five pitches. The Cubs were in business with a leadoff baserunner, and Phelps fell behind in the count, 2-0, to Ian Happ, who had two hits earlier in the game. But Phelps induced a 4-6-3 double play out of Happ and fanned Addison Russell looking to escape any potential jam. "I've got a lot of faith in my defense behind me," Phelps said. "I've been getting some ground balls lately. I figured, if I make a good pitch, I might get them to roll over." A run in a Flash: The speed of Dee Gordon helped the Marlins manufacture their second run, which was unearned, in the sixth inning. Gordon singled to left on a ball that dropped just in front of Jon Jay. Gordon swiped second and advanced to third on Montero's throwing error. Stanton, who had homered in his previous at-bat off Lackey, was hit by a 91.2-mph fastball, putting runners on the corners. Christian Yelich's sacrifice fly to center made it 2-0. QUOTABLE "They changed their tack tonight. Their guy threw a lot more breaking balls than he did the last time, and he was good with it. He's got very good stuff." -- Maddon, on Urena "We need him at the hot corner. They're going to test him a little bit like Jay did. Once he gets his midseason form back, he will be really good." -- Stanton, on third baseman Martin Prado returning from the DL. Jay was thrown out by Prado on a bunt attempt in the seventh inning. WHAT'S NEXT Cubs: Jon Lester gets the nod for the Cubs on Saturday in a 3:10 p.m. CT start. The left-hander has turned in back- to-back quality starts, going seven innings and striking out 10 in a win over the Mets and working six innings (seven strikeouts) in a no-decision against San Diego. Marlins: Justin Nicolino (0-1, 5.06) gets the start on Saturday in the 4:10 p.m.

  • Reign Men Taps Into a Compelling Oral History of Game 7 in the 2016 World Series
    Reign Men taps into a compelling oral history of Game 7 in the 2016 World Series. Talking Cubs heads all top CSN Chicago producers need in riveting ‘Reign Men’ By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Thursday, March 23, 2017 Some of the most riveting TV can be a bunch of talking heads. The best example is enjoying multiple airings on CSN Chicago, the first at 9:30 p.m. Monday, March 27. When a one-hour documentary combines Theo Epstein and his Merry Men of Wrigley Field, who can talk as good a game as they play, with the video skills of world-class producers Sarah Lauch and Ryan McGuffey, you have a must-watch production. We all know “what” happened in the Game 7 Cubs victory of the 2016 World Series that turned from potentially the most catastrophic loss in franchise history into its most memorable triumph in just a few minutes in Cleveland. Now, thanks to the sublime re- porting and editing skills of Lauch and McGuffey, we now have the “how” and “why” through the oral history contained in “Reign Men: The Story Behind Game 7 of the 2016 World Series.” Anyone with sense is tired of the endless shots of the 35-and-under bar crowd whooping it up for top sports events. The word here is gratuitous. “Reign Men” largely eschews those images and other “color” shots in favor of telling the story. And what a tale to tell. Lauch and McGuffey, who have a combined 20 sports Emmy Awards in hand for their labors, could have simply done a rehash of what many term the greatest Game 7 in World Series history.

  • Message from the Director a L U M N I N E W S L E T T
    A L U M N I N E W S L E T T E R VOLUME EIGHT “FROM OUR CAMPUS ON THE HILLSIDE..” WINTER 2007 MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Hello Fellow Alumni! The 2006 camping season was a great one! So many of the sights, sounds, and traditions remain, while at the same time our daily sched- ule and programs certainly characterize Jewish Camping in the 21st Century. Working with four generations of Bauercrest pride is an experi- ence any of us would cherish. The new programs and projects we implemented this past summer were very successful. The Project Adventure low ropes challenge course was well attended. Similarly, our new music room and model rocketry electives were big hits. Like a major league training field, you could see and hear the hitting workouts taking place in our new batting cages along the left field side of the A-diamond. Our summer Shlichim from Israel (now embarking on our 6th season) brought so much to the camp as key specialty leaders and educators in Jewish life, culture, and nationality. Learning of their home lives through great conflict in the northern part of the country made a huge impression on all of us. The 2006 Reunion was another hit. We had more than 150 total campers and staff in attendance at Temple Reyim in Newton. The setting was high-spirited and full of energy. Many saw our new banner stand displaying our colors, magnificent photos, and mission statement: To Build Self-Esteem and Jewish Identity through Sportsmanship, Teamwork, Achievement, and Responsibility.

    The Boston Red Sox Monday, November 5, 2018 * The Boston Globe Mookie Betts, Jackie Bradley Jr., and Ian Kinsler win Gold Glove awards Peter Abraham Jackie Bradley Jr. didn’t need a Gold Glove to be recognized as one of the best center fielders in the major leagues. Red Sox fans have known that for several years. But Bradley certainly did deserve one and it finally came his away on Sunday night. Bradley, right fielder Mookie Betts, and second baseman Ian Kinsler were Gold Glove winners. The Red Sox and Atlanta Braves each had three. A finalist in 2014 and ’16, Bradley was selected ahead of Mike Trout (Angels) and Adam Engel (White Sox) in voting done by managers and coaches. Bradley was second among MLB center fielders with an 8.7 ultimate zone rating and tied for the American League lead with eight assists. There’s no statistic for improbable acrobatic catches but Bradley had a series of those. Betts won for the third consecutive year, the first Red Sox player to do that since Dwight Evans won five in a row from 1981-85. Betts is now one of seven Red Sox players to win three or more Gold Gloves. Betts led all right fielders with 20 defensive runs saved. He has 83 DRS the last three seasons. Kinsler, 36, is now a two-time winner. He also won with the Tigers in 2016. In 128 games for the Angels and Red Sox, Kinsler had 10 DRS, the most in the AL at second base. Andrew Benintendi (left field) and Mitch Moreland (first base) were finalists.
