The Mariners really needed a good start from SOMEONE in the rotation.

DESPERATELY.

I really hope Paxton can put together an outing that looks more like 2013/2014 Paxton and less like 2015/2016 Paxton.


Fake edit: and after that play, I also can't wait to get Marte back.

Well, Kerry Wood struck out 20 by himself, so they have to go for at least 5 more just to beat him.
apparently 20 is the record in a 9 inning game

And with that weak rear end throw from center, we gotta get Martin back too. :(

Also how is that a stolen base by Goldschmidt and not catcher's indifference?

edit - is it just because it's a 1 run game?

If it's not the pitching, it's the defense.

I'm still in shock at that Goldschmidt "check swing". That was just complete bullshit and the quick toss of Maddon was even more unbelievable.

It really, really annoys me how when facing a supposedly "bad" pitcher, Cubs hitters stop being patient and working counts and just start hacking at loving everything. It's been a problem the whole season.

:laffo: at the people tweeting the Cubs announcers "Why wasn't that failure a balk?"

Because there are no runners on base you dolts.

Although, I am left wondering if it would have been a balk if someone was on base.

edit - And the Cubs announcers just answered it with "Yes it would be a balk now"

edit 2 - That was a loving awful strike call against Bryant.

Acting like you're pitching and then not pitching is a balk (with runners on), so yes it would be.

Yeah, shame Arrieta has to eat his first loss of the season, but that was a pretty fantastic homestand all things considered.

And besides, now we're getting into the part of our rotation that actually wins games. :v:
