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

[DiamondMind]

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

 

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.

 

Lester told me its ok to be stupid.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 1-0 (1.000) when they outhit the opponent by 11 hits or more.... 56-45 (.554) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Remember when the Giants were on their run and we got swept by the Phillies and there were one or two people in the game thread arguing this team wasn't capable of putting together a big hot streak?

Nobody on our message board would ever say such a thing. That's unpossible !!

[Outshined_One]

Get through the 7th and bring on the pen plz.

[Guest]

why the hell is arrieta still in this game and throwing high stress pitches (as high stress as possible in a 5-0 game)?

[Outshined_One]

Oooooo, shiny new toy is up.

Because Arrieta is really good, still under 100 pitches, and has thrown like 5 pitches from the stretch all night.

[DiamondMind]

stupid Giants tie the game

[Schwarber Fan]

Alright, bullpen time.

And we have like a 98% win expectancy. No reason to have one of our most valuable (and fragile, because pitchers) assets out there with anything resembling a high pitch count.

aramis is gonna dong it up here

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 1-0 (1.000) when the opponent GIDPs at least 3 times.... 56-47 (.544) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

reverse jinx worked

[Schwarber Fan]

Neither the outsider corner or the inside corner is a strike. Ok, ump.

[Outshined_One]

Thought that would clear the bases.
