9/16 Cubs (Arrieta) @ Pirates (Burnett) 6:05 CDT, CSN

Marte's a 12.2 fWAR player over this season and the previous two and a 14.6 rWAR player in that same time, and he's only 23. He's having a bit of a down year relative to the previous two if you go by Fangraphs, but he's been pretty damn awesome.

 

Who's only 23? Marte turns 27 next month.

Think he's thinking of Polanco

[Sammy Sofa]

Read the wrong line on BR; used his debut age by mistake.

[ctcf]

ooo gameday looks a little snazzier

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Nice job, treebird. Look what you've done. Game starts out with a strikeout.

[Stu]

I love the Clemente family but really wish they would cut this interview short

[PrimeTime]

Well that was [expletive] awful by Miggy and Castro there

[ARCubsFan]

Please keep building up your trade value Starlin

It brings so much joy knowing how much his resurgence is killing you.

Arrieta ERA-O-Meter at 1.97

Arrieta ERA-O-Meter at 1.97

 

Finally, the ERA-O-Meter and the Shawon-O-Meter align

[PrimeTime]

Nice Fowler! Come on Schwarber at least get a sac fly here

[CubInOK]

Budding superstar Starling Marte.

[Clem Fandango]

Ewwww, bad swing there, Cogs.

[weis21]

that was gross

[Guest]

oh, so this is one of THOSE games

[ARCubsFan]

Way to convert there

[PrimeTime]

How the [expletive] can they never get a sac fly with a guy on 3rd and 1 out? make [expletive] contact. Always a K it seems in that spot

[Sammy Sofa]

Way to go, jackoffs.

[Ski]

So, just because we have a high strikeout rate, doesn't mean we need to strike out everytime we need a sac fly.

I have no idea who that is standing next to Maddon. Len? Ricketts? Some random white guy?

[muntjack]

Dongs please, Cubs.

Ricketts

[Sammy Sofa]

Thank God for the low resolution. You know he's got some serious spider-veins going on.

[ctcf]
