[BigSlick]

I knew I shouldn't have said anything because immediately afterwards Jakes threw 6 straight balls

Yeah, but then he cradled his two giant ones.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

That is a heinous balk

 

good grief, do your jobs

[Schwarber Fan]

Best team to ever consistently be threatened to get no hit.

IT'S THE FIFTH INNING, YOU MONSTROUS GOON.

[BigSlick]

Love me some Superhero Mode Arrieta

 

He'll hit a homer too just for fun

[SpongeWorthy]

this dude is locating every gd pitch within a millimeter of where he wants it

[Ski]

I'm not drawing any grandiose conclusions from this, but it really is uncanny how many mediocre pitchers we've faced on days where they happen to have their A stuff.

[BigSlick]

Seriously? The first hard hit ball right to the outfielder?

 

Alright whatever

It's almost like you have some kind of confirmation bias.

[BigSlick]

That was real bad Jason

[Sammy Sofa]

Hands up if you're genuinely worried this guy is going to pitch a perfect game.

 

If so, keep that hand up and go walk in front of a truck.

The Cubs will play 162 games this season, most of them against pitchers that are varying degrees of 'not great'. If 100 games a year are against that caliber of starter, then we should expect this to happen dozens and dozens of times per year, even if the Cubs have a great team and offense.

 

This is what baseball looks like, and this is why it's so great that it's a long season.

That would be tough to do since the perfect game is already over with.

Get out of here with your logic.

[BigSlick]

lolol at Len and JD muttering "no no no no no BAEZ"

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Baez, man, really?

Errors are for pussies.

[Sammy Sofa]

Hot damn, Jake is sexy as hell today.

[Hunter]

Jake's pitching and MLB throws up the No Hitter banner and you're like :nono:

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Hot damn, Jake is sexy as hell today.

 

I want the Cubs to reward him with a win in his column.

[Sammy Sofa]

Montero seems...ill.

[Ski]

Just can't square anything up today.

[stitchface]

well, I figure its because the Cubs asked about Paxton and Walker and the Ms said no, how about Miley? And the Cubs said, naw, Miley kind of sucks.

We've been no-hit through 5 at least 3 times this year off the top of my head. How many other teams have done that?
