6/5 diamondbacks (corbin) @ cubs (arrieta) 120 cdt, csn

[Ding Dong Johnson]

So Arrieta gives up two runs on two fluky hits and a perfectly placed inside fastball. Okay.

how were they "fluky"

[BigSlick]

Oh man that curve is so nasty

[Omar]

15 more strikeouts to go

[halplm]

The blooper was fluky, and the double was a great pitch that got handled well... credit Arizona, but it's still annoying

[ChiCubsFan]

51 pitches through 2. Ouch.

[BigSlick]

Arrieta pitching well - evidence by the fact he's recorded all 6 outs by strike out. A soft grounder, a bloop, and a double hit on a ball at a dude's shoes

 

Gotta get runs, cuz its baseball

in the sense that any hit against arrieta is a fluke

[halplm]

Thus umpire is horrible

[CubInOK]

I'm not sure I like Arrieta trying to be Kerry Wood.

[Ski]

Time to settle in and go at least six, Jake.

[ChiCubsFan]

Surprised he couldn't beat that out

[sweetpeteman]

Alright, let's try doing something different then grounding out to third.

[Ski]

Christ, you can beat that out, Russell.

[David]

it would be annoying and shitty for the "x amount of starts without a loss" streak to end the start after the "x amount of starts won by the cubs" streak

 

lets not have that happen

[BigSlick]

hit a donger jake

[Aaron_Kennelly]

How about an Arrieta Dong?

[David]

I'm not sure I like Arrieta trying to be Kerry Wood.

 

if he donged here it would be so kerry

[David]

damn i almost called that lmao

[Aaron_Kennelly]

That'll work.

[BigSlick]

hit a donger jake

I'll take it!

[Ski]

Damn, I really wanted a dong there.

 

Still, a run!

[BigSlick]

i've always hated michael bourn as well, so this is double plus enjoyable to see him look like an idiot

[halplm]

How was that not out????

[BigSlick]

what are you swinging at dex

[David]

i've always hated michael bourn as well, so this is double plus enjoyable to see him look like an idiot
