8/25 Cubs (Arrieta) @ Giants (Cain), 9:15, WGN

[ConstableRabbit]

Uh, if Starlin remembers to be good we're a juggernaut.

[Brian]

Jake, you're up 8 take the out

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Just go to first there, it's an 8-run game

[ARCubsFan]

What are you doing Jake

[Sammys Boombox]

Ok. That's a bad baseball play given the situation.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 28-30 (.483) when they commit one or more errors.... 44-21 (.677) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[BigSlick]

Imagine if we hadn't gotten swept by one of the worst teams in baseball before going on this ridiculous run

something something light a fire in them something something piniella getting thrown out in 2007 something somethig

[Sammys Boombox]

Uh, if Starlin remembers to be good we're a super-duper juggernaut.

 

FTFY

[UMFan83]

I'm all for pulling Arrieta after this inning regardless of his pitch count. Let the bullpen finish it up.

 

Just about to say that. Considering Arrieta is going to pitch well more innings than he's ever thrown before and the pen is rested.

 

That said, hendricks and Haren are bullpen abusers lately. Might need a rested bullpen the rest of this series

[UMFan83]

Smart of Arrieta to make an error to keep his ERA down

 

Edit: wait is it an earned run if the pitcher commits the error?

He said he doesn't want to win he wants to dominate. In his mind allowing a single run to score is simply unacceptable.

Unearned run

We have the worst fielding pitchers in baseball

Well, if he went to first, then a run wouldn't have scored. Regardless of the situation, I trust Arrieta with a guy on second and two outs.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 28-1 (.966) when they allow fewer than 2 runs.... 44-50 (.468) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Please quit using Grimm as your binky, Joe. He doesn't need to pitch tonight.

[UMFan83]

Well so much for any debate about removing jake after this inning as he's now close to 100 pitches

[imb]

Home run here and things get REAL scary

[ARCubsFan]

Damn you Brandon Crawford and your stupid hair

[BigSlick]

The Brandons are just being annoying at this point

[treebird]

suck it crawford i hate you forever

[Fred Hornkohl]

Giants seeing 4.30 P/PA through 6 innings.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[UMFan83]

Home run here and things get REAL scary
