WTF was that last pitch to Crawford? Change up or slider that just floated?

I think I've heard enough about Carlos Gomez right about now

[UMFan83]

Anyone interested in knowing what Jake's ERA is down to now?

Well rizzo is broken again, too bad joe will never put schwarber at first base

based on the movement my best guess was it was a slider that wasn't terrible but missed it's spot. he threw a ton of fastballs in a row before then that it think threw crawford's timing off on that pitch.

Imb is one of my favorite regular people and im sad I don't know him irl

[imb]

Right into the shift, really annoying how we put basically no effort into beating the shift

[BigSlick]

this game is making me listen to Huey Lewis and the News now

[Aaron_Kennelly]

What is this nonsense, Joe?

Knowing me does own

[imb]

Well here comes the blown elbow

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Why is Jake pitching??

[Guest]

Yeah, I don't agree with this. Let Wood and the rest of that end of the pen finish things.

[chuckywang]

Russell would have had that

[ARCubsFan]

That was dumb, he should have never been in

[NotSoSober]

can't believe arrieta started that inning, and why use grimm here?

[badger1679666666]

Why is Jake pitching??

 

Dusty baker is guest-managing tonight

[Sammy Sofa]

Why is Jake pitching??

 

The bullpen has been working its ass off lately and are likely to have to do so again with Hendricks and Haren.

 

Kind of a pick your poison thing; probably was hoping this would be a quick inning

[BigSlick]

Not sure I like sending Arrieta out with 101 pitches in a blowout game

 

No I'm pretty sure I don't like it
