5/21 - Brewers (Anderson) @ World Champion Chicago Cubs (Arrieta) - 1:20 CDT WGN

I didn't know that baseball rules allowed the Cubs to score in the first inning if their opponent hadn't already scored. This is a momentous occasion

 

It's really confusing that the Cubs have a dong and Arrieta hasn't given one up yet.

So this Ian Happ guy might be good eh

There's an impostor on the mound with a fake Jake beard and hat.

Lineup changes working nicely thus far. I say go whole hog and have Russell bat after the pitcher instead of #8.

 

I believe if Zobrist is leading off, they won't be batting the pitcher 8th.

Excellent 2nd inning by Jake.

Keep it up!

Nuts to that; put Russell back in his comfort zone.

LEN, YOU'RE A MONSTER.

[bcl412]

that was a no doubt opposite field bomb and it looked effortless.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Oppo KBOOM!

Just turning the game on. Has Jake pitched well or has he just gotten good results this far?

He's pitching fine, and he's also getting a little bit of the good fortune he's been owed over the last month.

[Sammy Sofa]

Though he's got everyone's meltdown-sense tingling at the moment...

[Sammy Sofa]

Crisis averted for now.

[Sammy Sofa]

Way to hang with it, Addison.

[squally1313]

This guy throws a ton of incredibly hittable pitches

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Anderson hitting/bunting here seems like giving up on the game

[We Got The Whole 9]

Suddenly we can't catch

[Sammy Sofa]

Jake is terrifying even in a 5-run game.

[treebird]

this inning is not my favorite inning

[squally1313]

2016 Jake here.

[treebird]

i like how everything melted down the moment jake's era got to 4.99. the universe is desperately trying to restore order.

[Sammy Sofa]

2016 Jake here.

 

2016 Jake would be an improvement over 2017 Jake.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Willson I would like you to start catching/blocking the ball better or hit the ball more. Either is fine, but one is mandatory
