Arrieta v. Nats

[TDs3nOut]

Leadoff double for Span.

 

[TDs3nOut]

Good pitch to Worth. Too bad Valbuena didn't throw to the plate.

 

[TDs3nOut]

Decent second inning for Jake, getting the double play ball, but where is that nasty slider? Forthcoming?

 

[TDs3nOut]

Not as bad assed as he's been in his last few starts, but another fine outing for Jake. Sure do hope that the Cubbies can knock in a run or three in the seventh.

 

[TDs3nOut]

Awesome! A step towards justice!

That lead off double shouldn't have been. Ruggiano played it as bad as anyone could play a fly ball.

Arrieta should have a shut out

I guess that's why Harper wants to play CF. Holy shit Span, hit the gym. Couldnt even throw out Coghlan on a sac fly when he caught it like 10 ft past the infield. Weak sauce throw.

Yeah that was weak.

Either Coghlan knew his shit was weak, or Coghlan was trying to get back the chance he had on the Rizzo base hit when he was held up.

Not to mention Valbuena choosing to throw to first rather than getting Span at the plate.

Oh well, another solid outing by Jake against a hot hitting team, even though it wasn't as spectacular as his last few starts.

Valbuena made a nice stab, I thought he should have went home too.

Arrieta was pretty efficient for the most part, 6 innings with right around 80 pitches. He could have gone another inning or two if we weren't desperate for a run.

PHing Scott Hairston against a righty? Come on Matt Williams, know your team. Hairston cant hit righties.

 

[ChicagoIrish]

I remember when we had Jerry Hairston.

I'm glad that's over
