9/5 Diamondbacks (Ray) @ Cubs (Arrieta) 1:20 CST, CSN

[Gilby]

Oh my god, that last changeup to Peralta. If Arrieta can add a plus changeup to his three other plus pitches...

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have been outscored 54-63 in the 4th inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Time for Javy to atone for that ugly strike out.

[Gilby]

Potentially unpopular opinion, but since we're more or less locked in to the one game playoff, should the Cubs be giving any thought to watching arrietas innings before October? He's already at his career high, and he'll finish today 30something innings above last year.

 

I think if the standings don't change much in the next week, week-and-a-half or so, I think you absolutely do something about Arrieta's workload. Skip him or throw Wada and/or Richard into the rotation for a turn.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 58-32 (.644) when they draw 3 or more walks.... 18-25 (.419) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Make this guy throw strikes !!!

[BigSlick]

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have stolen 2 bases in their last 22 games (4 CS).

I think this is less of an issue, given how well-conditioned Arrieta is.

[Guest]

plz do something good ross

[Guest]

The good: bases loaded.

The bad: Ross and Arrieta are coming up.

 

Just let Addison bat this inning.

[BigSlick]

oy David Ross can't catch up to a 95 MPH fastball

[Ski]

Well, [expletive]. Apprently Ross can't hit straight fastballs over the plate.

[Fred Hornkohl]
