[Tim]

Jake taking the AB

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Let's get Jake a W to make up for all the bullcrap.

[bukie]

Now we know a Jake Arrieta disaster start consists of 5 innings with 12 strikeouts.

[Ski]

Another non-strike.

[BigSlick]

C'mon Zobi, good time to get out of this strange mini-slump

 

edit: nope

[bukie]

You ever recall a game where you exaggerate to say that all the other team's grounders kept finding holes and your team couldn't buy a hole to hit through?

 

This game is the reality of that exaggeration.

One more Cubs oddity, they've lost the last game of every homestand this season and won the last game of every road trip.

[Ski]

You're going to have a hard time winning games when the other team goes 9-10 on balls in play and all we do is ground out weakly to third against a pitcher getting strikes three inches off the plate.

I thought it seemed like we were losing a lot of sunday home games

[halplm]

Honestly, I don't care if we win or lose this game at this point, something has GOT to be done about umps being this inconsistent in their strike zone. It also seems completely unreal that this would happen to Arrieta unless it was done on purpose.

[David]

[BigSlick]

[David]

all these guys with the early 90's walkup songs has to be grandpa rossy's doing right?

[David]

[BigSlick]

[Aaron_Kennelly]

[UMFan83]

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Javy is starting to drive the ball in the air more. I like that.

even though i don't care about a pitcher's w-l record at all, i actually care more about this than the outcome of the game

[bcl412]

How many assists does their third baseman have?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Baez's IsoP now .159, for those concerned about such things

[Transmogrified Tiger]

How many assists does their third baseman have?

 

I believe 9

[UMFan83]

14 of 18 outs have been ground outs

The only time i kinda care is when a guy is doing stuff like getting 20 wins or has no losses or has a long streak like Jake's.
