8/29 Pirates (Brault)<-WHO? @ Cubs (Jake), 7:05 PM, CSN

[UMFan83]

Ugh.. ive liked the way Arrieta has looked lately but the Dongs are becoming concerning.

 

Not a terrible pitch but Jake needs to get the ball down. Seems like most of them have all came on pitches he missed up on. Somehow it seems like it is always a 3 run bomb too.

 

That's only his 13th allowed this year. Is that a lot?

[KingCubsFan]

So, about Hendricks starting Game 1...

And Lester starting Game 2....

[Schwarber Fan]

Soler's double was hit 10 times harder than either Pirate home run tonight. It's not even a debate.

[TMan92]

horsefeathering walks don't help either.

[Derwood]

wait, we're losing, WTF

[UMFan83]

The fact that we even have a chance to lose an Arrieta/I forgot his name already matchup the day after losing a Lester/also forgot matchup is annoying as horsefeathers Edited August 30, 2016 by UMFan83

[David]

fortunately this is seemingly the slowest game ever so even though it seems like it's late it's not all that late

[TruffleShuffle]

remember when we talked [expletive] about polanco as a prospect because he didn't hit enough dongs

 

never forget.

 

[Careless]

lol I called an Arrieta homer, damn it

[UMFan83]

So 2 hardest hit balls tonight were a double and a foul ball. Fml

[bcl412]

F that

[David]

son of a horsefeathering bitch are you kidding me?

 

i wasn't even looking up so the call made me think that was a no doubter

[17 Seconds]

haha horsefeathers this

[UMFan83]

What the hell was that strike 2

[TruffleShuffle]

this guy is not a good umpire.

[BigSlick]

How about no more webgems for opposing teams ok thanks

[UMFan83]

The 6th inning might be the most annoying inning in baseball history

 

(Yes hyperbole but wtf)

[Buster]

God Josh Harrison is a tool.

[David]

ok horsefeathers josh harrison now i want them to lose and miss the wild card again

[Schwarber Fan]

Wow, another one of these games. horsefeathers.

His HR/9 is the 3rd best in baseball at 0.61 and fangraphs shows him at 11 but now that would be 12, so actually it seems like he has been elite of elite at limiting homeruns.

 

I feel like he has given up more the last 6 weeks though, maybe someone can update us on that?

 

Also it does seem like its been a lot of 3 run shots..

[TMan92]

Robot umps please

Josh Harrison interrupts his multi-year heist of millions of dollars from the Pirates to make a nice catch

 

yes I'm salty about that celebration

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Remember when Josh Harrison sang "No cubs no," after winning for the first time in, like, 9 tries against the Cubs earlier this year? Or when Gerrit Cole said he didn't think we were the best team in the league. Or when Sean Rod went insane? Yeah, horsefeathers these guys.
