Pre-game conversation.

What did you guys think of Arrieta going off on the Phillies club house and Harper? After looking it up, it looks like the only time Arrieta made a remotely negative comment when he was on the Cubs was when he didn't want the team to rest on its laurels going into the 2016 world series run, and it was more he was unhappy with how he was playing and didn't want Maddon to sugar coat it..
Think this make him regret not taking Theo's offer to stay even more?

>harper already fighting with teammates in the dugout
This will be fun to watch

Unrest for the Phillies makes me less worried for the Dodgers this year. His comments seem justified, though. It sucks when you're doing what you can to win and others are actively going against that in a team environment

Arrieta's built like a tank, if he and Harper get at it, don't expect a throat grab bitch move like Papelbon did, Arrieta would just straight up clock Harper.

FUCKIN LMAO

HOW DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING

IT'S EVERY FUCKING GAME

I'm going with the theory that the Umps give Baez leeway, because of all the crazy shit Baez has done in the past. Like that one game where he was at third base and bare handed a foul ball coming at him.

I'm worried this lead isn't enough considering the bullpen likes to rotate between lights out and terrible.

We need Q to go 7

Sadly you might be right

Attached: 1511814533880.jpg (1280x885, 448K)

I'm so happy quintana has found himself again

The Umpball he's facing isn't making it easy. And he's 80 pitches through 5.
Money is unless he self destructs Maddon pulls him after the 6th.

I don't think it's umpball, the umps been consistently inconsistent not really in favor of one team or the other

We can all agree we want an electronic strike zone.

>90 pitches through 6
Quality start might be in the books now.
Looks like Q will get to pitch the 7th unless Maddon yanks him, because it's Maddon.

Maeda really bounced back after those first two innings, so I'm still pensive.

yeah, can't score every inning though especially off a team like the dodgers.

At least we don't have to worry about Q killing himself like Lester did.

The offense is still dead!

Attached: 1219693185200.jpg (446x407, 114K)

The problem is the Cubs are getting more impatient with what they're swinging at. Compare their first time around to the third.

The feminine of el mago is la maga.
wrap your head around that

>92271246
Fine, now stop abandoning Puerto Rico yah racist fucks.

that's generally what happens when teams have a sizable lead. were they down you'd just see them being more patient
