Mendy woulda had it

[Cubswin11]

Shoulda called up Almora

[Andy]

Arrieta's going to get one of these at some point.

[TruffleShuffle]

i'm guessing belt high fastball was not the intention for that 0-2 pitch.

 

and lol at brandon phillips, what a d-bag.

[Guest]

at the very least, looks like this game may have gotten my tickets for saturday sold

[Sammy Sofa]

Kinda meaningless, but Arrieta still hasn't a complete game shut out yet this year.

[ScrubMD]

Phillips is such a jackass. Send Olt out there to beat the [expletive] out of him.

Z kept taking no hitters deep in games and losing them, until one day he finished one off. I believe Arrieta will do the same.

Jake Arrieta is the only pitcher this season to have multiple no-hit bids of at least 7 innings

[RammyFanny]

Not to be that guy, but Jake's got a pretty big glob of something on his hat that he keeps going to after every pitch. I couldn't care less but I've started to see a few complaints on twitter. Edited September 17, 2014 by RammyFanny

[CincyCubsFan]

Brandon Phillips is a [expletive] [expletive]. This cannot be emphasized enough.

[Brian]

how sad are these guys that give Len [expletive] on twitter over talking about no hitters

[Cubswin11]

[UMFan83]

Jake has allowed 2 or less runs in 18 of his 24 starts

 

Absolutely dominant performance

Jake is at 149.2 IP over 151 team games. Pitchers need 1 IP per team game to qualify for ERA league leaders. Does Jake get 2 more starts this year? If so he needs 12.1 IP in those starts to qualify. If he qualified he'd be 6th in the NL in ERA.

I'd guess he gets one more since they're cramming Jaxon back in there and have been using a 6 man rotation.

Looks like he only gets 1 more in the STL series

[UMFan83]

Game Score is a pretty stupid metric, but [expletive] it..... Arrieta had a GS of 97 today, 3rd highest in the majors this year behind Kershaw's no hitter (102) and Bumgarner's 1 hit CG SO (98)

[TruffleShuffle]

congrats to arrieta on the CG SO and eat a D brandon phillips

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

is he going to get like 10 million in arb?
