5/20 Cubs (Arrieta) @ Giants (Peavy), 9:15 PM CDT, WGN

[Ski]

6 k's thru 5 against the best contact team in baseball. Wish some of you would not post meatbally [expletive].

 

Whoa I said I was drunk and that's not a joke. But seriously he isn't missing bats enough. Also validate best contact team in baseball.

Second lowest K% in baseball.

The Giants have the lowest K% in the National League, 2nd in MLB to the Angels. They also have the 4th best offense in the NL, per wRC+. Holding them to 1 run on 4 hits with 6/1 K/BB in 5 IP is very good.

[David]

I'm pretty optimistic but this Jake is mediocre at best. Miss a bat for the love of God.

 

I haven't been watching very closely, but he has 5 K's in 4.2 IP? And the Giants are a high contact team.

 

Even without that being the case, this dude just said this Arrieta is mediocre at best?

 

You were very easy on him.

[illiniguy]

Yeah this guy isn't an ace. Maybe last 7. Also I'm slightly [expletive] but I've been uncomfortable in every one of this guy's start. Enjoy your $210m in Los Angeles Jake

Agreed, if I can't have Tim Keefe numbers, well I am out.

[badger]

Thank you TT. I'm streaming on my iPad and posting on my phone so I can't search quickly

Belt looks like Lastella.

thanks blue

Giants are just fouling everything off. Its annoying but stuff like that is what they do. It's not like Jake is getting rocked. I mean, this ain't his best start but he's definitely not mediocre at best this game.

I'm marking it down as a joke, other than him maybe not wanting to give a pitcher $210 million. That part might have been serious.

Belt looks like Lastella.

That quick inning was very much needed.

[Ski]

Good inning. Jake can definitely go seven now.

If serious post, it's one of the top 3 worst in NSBBs history

[badger]

I feel like a fat drunk and stupid is no way to go through life clip should be easily accessible.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Arrieta has given up 1 run in 6 innings, increasing his ERA.

Which means Agony and Ivy is right!!!

[UMFan83]

Who hasn't caught a line out yet. Bryant has one coming at you

[Bryants Disco Ball]

For those listening to Len, that wasn't me who tweeted that into him about Lastella and Belt.

[Ski]

Another lineout.

I mean Jake's second half with this first half is basically the best performance since they invented fire, but yeah, he's no ace. :good:

 

 

Jesus we are hitting into some horsefeathers luck.

[CubInOK]

Brandon Belt is also a seal.

[UMFan83]

5.1 no hit/no walk innings from Giants pen. Frustrating because they are lining it all over

[mdwilla]

Would rather have rested Jake this inning hopefully he's a on a short leash.

Eh, after the Milwaukee series I am just glad to see us hitting the ball hard again and chasing a crap starter early. Get this win and worry about tomorrow.
