Way too long to wait to get the bullpen up.

this inning has been nuts

[DiamondMind]

oh god kooji

[treebird]

you'd think one of these hard hit balls would be at someone eventually

[coldsteel]

They gave Arrieta the non-humidor baseballs

[UMFan83]

Not going to help the old ERA

[Fred Hornkohl]

So is tonight's game not on XM? I can't find it.

 

According to their website it's on XM 84...... but I believe that's a typo. I'm thinking it's on XM 184.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

"Fuji Kujiwama" is pitching for the Cubs, per the Rockies announcer.

[DiamondMind]

can baez pitch

[Guest]

[Gilby]

Splitter still looks pretty good. Maybe a team will give us something for Fujikawa at the end of this month.

Sweeney's OPS bottomed out for the year at .424 on June 16th after an 0 for 6. Since then: 112 PA, .301/.348/.437/.785, 15/8 K/BB

BAEZ WHAT ARE YOU DOING

[hawkeyecub]

That 2-0 pitch could/should have been destroyed

[Guest]

I had no idea Rusin was on the MLB roster.

[UMFan83]

It was a lot easier saying Baez was probably going to start out like 1-10 than to actually see it happen.

[ScrubMD]

Pretty crafty of Arrieta to destroy what little leverage the Marlins had.

I find it easier, since he isn't striking out every AB like I expected him to.

Outside of that play yesterday, he's looked really good in the field too.

[treebird]

rusin's sideburns are a crime against humanity

Yeah, only 3 in 10 abs so far. I'd be completely fine if he stays at that rate the rest of the season.

hit a couple balls really hard and hasn't struck out a crazy amount. i have no problem with what i've seen so far.

yeah, between the 1 hit being a game winning HR and the fact that he isn't flailing wildly and helplessly at everything, i'm not all that bothered by it
