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

Seriously, how is Aramis a good defender now?

 

Literally everything you post sucks so, so, so much.

 

LMAO!

i always felt like aramis was really good at the quick dives/hops/short hops and just didn't have great range. i have no idea if there is any data to support or refute that (I'd guess not), but that was always my impression watching him over the years. He's always had really soft hands and quick reflexes.

I get nervous whenever Arrieta is pitching because I don't want him to give up any runs ever. It could be 15-0 and I'd be on the edge of my seat.

I'd agree but if it were 15-0 i would be more upset if he were still pitching.

I love watching Pirates hitters strike out and walk back to the dugout with absolutely no emotion as if the outcome was predestined and they know it.

Pretty much; his defense was pretty crappy his last couple of seasons in Chicago, but before that he was pretty remarkable and bounced back and forth between being just over and under replacement level. It was a combination of his lack of range and the "HE DOESN'T HUSTLE!!!!!!" meatball rage that created this idea he was some kind of defensive butcher.

That one was a tough one but im guessing Russell would have had that too if he was playing 2B

[Schwarber Fan]

Justin Ruggiano is hitting 3rd for the Dodgers tonight, lol.

[UMFan83]

Fred when was the last time Montero threw out a base stealer? It was probably like 2 games ago and I'll feel stupid

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 14-13 (.519) when the opponent steals 2 or more bases.... 69-48 (.590) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Are you kidding me? Damn Jake

[weis21]

It's crazy that I used to check the minor league boxes before the MLB team's and now I only visited the MiLB forum page a few times a week (which is to say not often at all considering how much time at work I waste here. who am I kidding, at life, in general)

 

if you are wondering why this random post was made it's because JD just said that Underwood had a strong outing and I had no idea what's the status of the minor leagues other than the Pelicans are in the playoffs.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Big out but we need more runs. Jake isn't going 9 tonight.

[Ski]

Are you [expletive] kidding me? Christ, Arrieta!

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Baseball players can't be perfect, but come the hell on.

[Sammy Sofa]

That's what people get for sassing Marte.

[UMFan83]

That was like the ball dropping between 3 Cubs in San Juan

[bukie]

Are you [expletive] kidding me? Christ, Arrieta!

Just stop.

[weis21]

no earned run?

[itisallpartoftheplan]
