9/11 GAME ONE Cubs (Arrieta) @ Phillies (Morgan) 4:05 PM CST, CSN

[ARCubsFan]

uh why is Arrieta staying in?

 

Because it's a DH?

This game's over, I'd feel fine letting Medina go 2. Arrieta's innings need to be limited.

[CubInOK]

Reds just scored vs Cardinals.

soler doubled in his first myrtle beach AB btw

seriously. Christ people were throwing fits for taking Lester out two days ago and now he complains about leaving Arrieta in. Don't overextend him, but there's no harm in running him back out there to at least start the 8th.

[ScrubMD]

I understand Arrieta is a mutated freak and the first of the next step in human evolution, but I wish he didn't throw 115+ every start.

Yeah, but with a four run lead and expanded rosters, it wouldn't have hurt my feelings to see him pulled. It's not like it's the sixth inning or anything.

Remember when the Cubs' bench was a weakness? It's about to be exactly the opposite.

I had no problem pulling Lester. It's complete foresight to the people who had a problem with that.

you mean hindsight?

[UMFan83]

His era is now under 2 but still rounded up to 2

[CubInOK]

1-0 Cincy after the 1st.

[Derwood]

so a friend of mine is deaf in one ear. i don't know the specifics but he's getting some kind of device drilled into his head and this thing apparently syncs with his bluetooth so he can like listen to stuff from his phone through it

 

what an age we live in

that's equal parts awesome and random.

is it some variation of the cochlear implant?

 

think it's called a bone conduction hearing aid?

 

I have zero hearing problems but I want one of those

[Guest]

i would dislike ross less if he didn't wear that stupid hockey mask

You're burying the lede; of course he had no problem with Lester being pulled because it gave the Cardinals a better chance to come back.

[Schwarber Fan]

To answer the question about Bogusevic, he hit a 500 foot homer at Milwaukee one time, I believe.

[Guest]

i will never stop associating jeff francouer with that prank where they had him thinking that his teammate was def for weeks

It was quite the comedy jam

[UMFan83]

How does 19-6 with a 1.99 ERA sound?

[Guest]

1.99!

According to Fangraphs, from the beginning of the 2010 season through this season, Ryan Howard has been worth about $9.9 million.

 

He has been paid almost $120 million in that time.
