Every time Arrieta throws his cutter today I want him to turn to the Orioles dugout, lock eyes with their bumble [expletive] pitching coach and do the big balls dance.

Come on Jake, make the O's regret letting you go as they wallow in their 9 game division lead.

So who is responsible for how good Baltimore has been? I thought these guys were doomed to failure after taking some people that used to run the draft for the Cubs, Stockstill?

 

They've been playing at a 90.6 win pace for the past three years.

[jersey cubs fan]

perfect start

[Gilby]

I can't believe Gausman's K rate is as low as it is. I'm sure it will go up after today.

A perfect game in the NL is like going 6IP, 7H, 4ER in the AL to them

two on the first page. More predictions of bad outings.

I think my favorite is this

6.1 IP

6 R

6 ER

3 BB

8 K

 

Gives up a run or two before the bullpen allows inherited runners to score in the 7th.

four or five inherited runners score, apparently.

[jersey cubs fan]

left handed bats doing things

 

 

 

although I feel like the Cubs have an inordinate number of LH hitters with the complete opposite of the traditional smooth-looking left handed swing.

[Careless]

We still have 6 innings unless the Cubs grounds crew has more shenanigans up their sleeve.

(And he wrote that in the bottom of the fourth)

[Cubswin11]

Jesus christ, Baker you're so bad

[Cubswin11]

Great throw

[jersey cubs fan]

I was not expecting that to result in an out

[Cubswin11]

Ugh, they're probably gonna say he didn't give him a lane
