However, there definitely seems to be an adjustment period that is taking place between Contreras and Lester/Anderson, the two starters who he has virtually no experience catching.
"It was pretty cool", said pitcher Jon Lester, who started the game. Obviously, I've been to Wrigley Field before, but to go down to the field and to meet a player or a coach, and quite frankly I don't care if it's the water boy.
Four new flagpoles behind the center-field bleachers provided a hint that more than just the 2016 banner would be hoisted. When they re-emerged, Rizzo led the way with the golden World Series trophy held aloft. Watching David Ross on "Dancing with the Stars" became another rain-delay diversion on the video board.

With the count 1-and-1, Jansen tried to come up and in on Rizzo with his cutter but Rizzo got enough of it to slice an opposite-field single for the walk-off victor. Los Angeles tied the game at 2-2 in the eighth.
From the average to the most long-suffering fans, every fan was nominated for this honor.
Pinch hitter Jay led off the ninth with a sharp single to right, reached second on Tommy La Stella's infield groundout and stole third as Kris Bryant struck out.
"You work so hard for it and get to wait five months to finally get it".
