8/4 Cubs (Arrieta) @ Pirates (Happ) 6:05, WGN

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 4-0 (1.000) when they lead by 5 runs or more at the end of the 6th inning.... 53-47 (.530) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[sneakypower]

Jake Arrieta is no all-star

[BigSlick]

CUBS are 30-4 (.882) when they score 5 runs or more....!

This stat is so bananas. If this team had a slightly better than average offense it would be one of the best in the league.

[Fred Hornkohl]

I still want to see a HR tonight !!!

[DiamondMind]

I say yank Jake. The bullpen can hold a 5-run lead.

Braves tie it up in the 7th.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 10-10 (.500) when their pitcher gets a hit.... 47-37 (.560) when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

You're the one that apparently forgot his revelation earlier that bullpen is actually good.

He deserves more than a yank.

It is one of the best in the league. That's why it's going to the playoffs and would be in contention to win any other division (if I'm slightly wrong on this, sue me...not gonna double check)

Last time the CUBS made 12 hits in a game...............

Has nothing to do with the pen - its that Arrieta is dominating.

I enjoy most of the goofy stuff, but this annoys me for some unknown reason. Maybe it's the pronunciation.

[Guest]

but if it had a slightly better than average offense it would be [expletive] unstoppable

 

and i totally believe that could happen this season

So what? It's just 3 innings left for the bullpen to cover in a 5-0 game. Start grabbing the extra rest whenever possible.

[rawaction]

Barves take the lead

Barves take the lead

[RammyFanny]

This homeplate ump seems pretty good for a change.

scoreboard watching *can* be so fun

I just imagined the 2015 pitching staff paired with the 2008 offense.

 

I'll be in my bunk.

And if you want him to continue delivering such performances, removing him in a game that is at probably like 98% win expectancy (pulled out of my ass) is a good idea.
