Good, Castro didn't kill the rally

 

Castro IS the rally.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are seeing 3.72 P/PA..... Pirates are seeing 3.81 P/PA through 7 innings.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 37-14 (.725) when their starter pitches 7 innings or more.... 52-51 (.505) when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

I guess all you guys whining and bitching about joe letting Arrieta pitch a cgso for his 20th can sit the [expletive] down today

[CubInOK]

I'm ok with this.

 

Too bad Arrieta didn't hit another homer and throw 9 perfect innings for the greatest game by a player ever.

[Careless]

How many quality starts in a row is that, btw?

[TMan92]

Arrieta so has to be in these guys heads. Cole is no slouch though

To be fair, we've left seven men on base, are on the verge of making that nine stranded, and we've choked in two man-on-third-less-than-two-outs situations. That's a bit annoying.

They keep hitting and they keep walking, they're going to score runs

[ScrubMD]

Did they really just say Arrieta has allowed 4ER in his last 11 starts? That is bonkers.

[weis21]

dan shulman is a really good announcer

[TMan92]

I am really thinking wood and Richard should get a shot at a rotation spot next year

4 ER in 82 1/3 innings.

1) this is the worst umped game ever.

 

2) how did Starlin go from worst position player in the majors to super stud in the blink of an eye? Is it really a matter of a simple adjustment?

I'd like to think we'll have better options.

[Gilby]

Travis Wood now has 117 K's in 96 2/3 innings.

 

Dude's a legitimately good relief pitcher.

It's too bad he has to be stuck with Kruk.

We will after we buy Price and trade for Syndergaard.

something something benching something being pushed by younger players something joe Maddons firm steady hands and calming eyes something

yep. between him (shulman) and mendoza it's really a shame they are stuck with that neanderthal.
