Not loving this “six-man rotation” talk.

It didn’t take long for Jake to give up his first walk.

Rizzo the Rat,
It’s stupid.
dmick89Quote Reply
But they’ll do it and Cubs fans will proclaim Joe a genius for thinking of going with a 6-man rotation.

Pitchers sure suck at throwing to bases.

Brault doing his Garza impersonation.

Great at bat by Arrieta.
dmick89Quote Reply
Ugh.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
That was ugly. Decent result, though.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
That wasn’t pretty.
dmick89Quote Reply
Was Contreras blocking the lane?
dmick89Quote Reply
Contreras isn’t having a good defensive inning.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
dmick89,
They thought Jake might have been.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Jake’s a groundball machine today. I like.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Rizzo the Rat,
Yeah, I think that’s what they challenged, but they should have challenged Contreras blocking the lane. I didn’t see it clearly enough, but it was fairly obvious Jake wasn’t. I think they had a better shot of getting it overturned.
dmick89Quote Reply
So many stranded runners.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
With a gigantic lead and pitchers who got gassed last postseason? I don’t mind it.

I like this new,, more efficient JaycCarrieta
berseliusQuote Reply
berselius,
You just jinxed it.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Okay, that Cutch AB was efficient.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
God damn it.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
No dinner for me tonight
berseliusQuote Reply
berselius,
Gassed or a couple bad starts?
dmick89Quote Reply
If Arrieta did in the postseason what he did last year, nobody is going to think too much about it. Only reason it was even a story was because of how awesome Jake had been. I’m pretty sure Lester is used to pitching deep into October.
dmick89Quote Reply
Of course the wind has to pick up in time to ruin a potential Jake home run.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Great catch.
dmick89Quote Reply
Jake got screwed.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
I was hoping Arrieta would get himself tossed since there was no way Joe was going to take him out.
dmick89Quote Reply
The way the strikes aren’t being called, Mercer swung at ball three.
ceruleanQuote Reply
Travis should not be allowed to face righties with the game on the line.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
This umpire must be a Pirates fan.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
More of this, please.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
This would be a good time for Anthony to start hitting home runs again.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Why are they pitching around KB to get to Rizzo?
dmick89Quote Reply
dmick89,
He just has terrible control.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
That was ugly.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Jesus. So many wasted opportunities.
dmick89Quote Reply
Soler!!!!!!!!!!
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Good thing the Pirates traded their closer in the middle of a pennant race.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
This team is fun!
dmick89Quote Reply
Marte’s reaction after he struck out was funny.
dmick89Quote Reply
Run, please.
dmick89Quote Reply
Jesus Christ.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
He looks safe.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
That sucks.

Boooooooooooooo

I am going to regret staying up for this game. Because I have work in 6 hours and will go to game 2 tonight. Yes, tonight, because it’s fucking Tuesday.
Rice CubeQuote Reply
Rice Cube,
Call in sick. Problem solved, amirite?
SKQuote Reply
“Pitchers were gassed” does not appear to be just a narrative, unless the pitchers themselves decided to buy into it.
Arrieta says he was gassed, and looked it. Hammel was complete shit and vowed to embark on a much more intense off season training program.
Joe has always (I mean since I’ve been watching him, two seasons) emphasized rest throughout the whole season and it seems to help. Nobody minds when the manager decides to give an SP an extra day or even skip a turn once in awhile. He could have done that all September without using the words “6-man rotation” and no one would say anything.
Is there a chance Montgomery or Cahill might be better than Hammel? I wouldn’t mind finding out. I know the playoffs won’t require 5 starters let alone 6, but if there’s any injury (or Lackey doesn’t come back as planned) there is a chance to figure this shit out now.
