8/11 Two batters in and Arrieta’s ERA has gone up!!

Burnes can only get 20ks!! Great inning for the Cub bats!!

[Derwood]

14 K's on 77 pitches is actually unbelievable

[Tim]

Letting Burnes bat here is ridiculous. 8-0 lead in the dog days of summer. He's given up two hits, so there's not a no-hitter to consider.

 

I'm guessing they'll pull him out after the first non-k out where it eliminates 20k from possibility. Still stupid, though.

[Tim]

huh...Duffy is of some use.

Glad I held off on buying the “Jake Arrietta Great Again” hat that I loved so much

[Proven Veteran]

For the love of God, someone please, Photoshop Jake driving a tank.

If you DFA Jake, you’re just gonna have to find someone else that’s guaranteed to eat 4 innings every 5-6 days for the rest of the season.

Cool, works for me.

Shoot that [expletive] to the moon for all I care.

I feel bad for ever being excited for him returning. Him being a crappy pitcher isn't even the worst thing about him.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

as hilariously inept as hoyer’s offseason was, it remains surprising to me that he didn’t non tender bryant right before his bounce back season.

Have you and goony merged into the same grumpy person?

 

i’m not “this team would lose 120 games” grumpy if that counts for anything.

Maybe we all should be.

Hopefully Jake throws a no hitter in his final start and rides off into the sunset.

horsefeathers him. I hope he never pitches well for the rest of his life.

That might be possible if they pulled him after 1 batter, but with the 3 batter rule now, I think its virtually impossible for him to have a no hit appearance
