10/07 CUBS (ARRIETA) @ PIRATES (COLE), 7:00 PM CDT, TBS

[Tryptamine]

65 through 4 for Cole

Russell ended the inning twice now ... I'm beginning to think there might be something to the idea of batting the pitcher 8th.

Wow, 4 inches outside

 

With a 3 run lead, the bigger the strike zone, the better.

How is it only the 4th inning?

Yep. Arrieta was getting the borderline calls, but that was Maddux territory.

65 through 4 for Cole

 

Looks like 7 innings if he gets it together. Hopefully the Cubs can work him and get him out (much) earlier

[Brian]

Hulk can catch too!

[weis21]

pirate fans excited as hell with a bloop fly to right

[MarkR]

I get scared when the ball is hit into the outfield. Especially with this configuration. lets get 3 more runs

[Ski]

Arrieta is getting strikes two inches off the plate.

Who's the board's best candidate to make this happen? The Logan?

[ScrubMD]

"example: JAAKE-EY!"

[UMFan83]

You know Jake is pitching well when I'm surprised and a little disappointed when he throws a first pitch ball

[Derwood]

Pirates fans getting really excited every time the ball is actually put into play

[kujay]

Pumpin strikes. Easy

[MarkR]

Hitting the ball a little harder...

[UMFan83]

Please don't let Cutch come up in a big spot against Jake today. Obviously you never want him to come up in a big situation but damn he hits Jake well

I think our best hope (tonight) is some nerd at MLB media also liked it, and the Cubs twitter account will post it

Those fans are awfully quiet. Aren't they supposed to be chanting the name of Arrieta's dog when he's in the windup this inning?

[itisallpartoftheplan]

No clue how Kyle caught those. He can't possibly play right.

[Ski]

I love being on the receiving end of BABIP luck.

And by that you mean "actually making contact"
