NO HITTER ALERT - JAKE ARRIETA

[millah_22]

Through 5 with 7 K

 

[ANYCHawk]

5? hardly worth an alert.

 

[millah_22]

6

 

[SWIowahawks]

Now through 7

 

[CadeHawk]

He might have got a break from the scorer Castro was called for an error that I thought would be a hit. So did John Kruk.

He also has a knock.

This is what makes the Cubs the Cubs. They are up 2-0 bases loaded 1 out and Castro comes up. He is 3-3 with a 2 out single, 1 out single, and 2 out double all with none on. Bases packed first pitch double play.

 

[SWIowahawks]

Going to the 9th with no hits allowed.

 

[ihawk in FWB]

Pins and needles here. Come on Jake!

 

[Qued18]

They call that an error if it's hit to short but not to second

Can't edit on phone. I meant "hit" not "error".

If Millah jinxed this thing with his premature thread I'm coming after him like a howler monkey.

 

[CadeHawk]

He had one hell of an August 6-0 with 2 ER allowed ALL month.(Both vs the White Sox.)

Then to throw a no hitter on the road at LA and their $300,000,000 payroll.

If he had a better month May he may be the Cy Young leader. (2-4 3.99 ERA)

 

[lucas80]

Yes!!!!

 

[jellyfish10]

That was awesome!

 

[lucas80]

Pretty nice for a guy whose salary is X, while Jon Lester's is 5X

 

[HawkeyeHitman]

He going to get more money than Jon Lester.

 

[Qued18]

So solid...nice work

 

[lucas80]

He going to get more money than Jon Lester.

Maybe. He isn't a FA until after 2017. He'll be 32 when he is a FA. That will restrict the total amount of $ and years he gets. Best for the Cubs to explore a 5-6 year deal now. But, given how much they'll owe for other guys by 2018-2020 they may be forced to role the dice. Especially if they add a frontline SP this offseason.

Cubs have him thru 2017

Great game by Jake. He was setting that nasty slider perfectly.

 

[iowalaker]

Looked at the replay of the Castro error. Trying to figure out the outrage, that's definitely an error.

I know one big league scorer pretty well. The stories he tells are awesome.
