[Gilby]

I remember Mrs. Ricketts because she tried to high-5 John Cusack after Schwarber's scoreboard dong and he left her hanging.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Spoiler that smut, Duke.

[Tryptamine]

The bottom of the strike zone just doesn't exist.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

That inning looked good. Velo is good. Good movement. Dotting the bottom of the zone.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Oh, ok. Give him that horsefeathers all night.

[Brian]

That graphic just said for Ross (0 opening Day starts in 15 seasons)... he started opening day last year

[UMFan83]

By eye test he doesn't seem like he has as good of stuff as last time. Not much swing and miss and a bit of hard contact. Also still getting behind a high percentage of batters.

[badger]

Wish he'd have hit Rodriguez instead.

[UMFan83]

Yep. Not an inspiring performance heading into the playoffs. Hope we get a better jake against Syndergaard/Bumgarner

[David]

3 run bomb jake activate

Never thought we'd see it.

[davell]

Well, I loved thinking the theory may have had something behind it. It appears to have turned into a solid sasquatch thesis though.

[bukie]

Hurdle is a red faced clown.

[TMan92]

Jakell and Hyde

Yes these 3 innings negate the entire season of numbers.

[Andy]

This whole glove/position swap thing is dumb. Screw off, umps

yeah. im' not really worried. i'm just less confident than i would've been if friday jake showed up today.

 

gonna be interesting to see what all that rest does to (or for) him.

[bukie]

Booing Jake Arrieta at the plate...how far into the Pirates collective heads are the Cubs?

[Schwarber Fan]

Taillon is pretty good. Pirates will be heard from again in short order.

the pirates were booing jake?!

Lol. They're a mid 80s win team at best for the foreseeable future with their budget and dependence on young pitching.

Here's a not so crazy idea... Arrieta as #4 starter in the playoffs?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Oh great.

The theory was him was flipping back into God-mode. I'm not saying he sucks. But his year long stats certainly aren't God-mode either. He's obviously very good.
