[Quality Start Machine]

Wack away boys.

This 27-year-old prospect has some serious shit.

Can a guy with 65 major-league starts still be considered a prospect?

I assume that, despite making no reference whatsoever to hammer pants or Ron Jeremy or "McStiff", Fork intended "27-year-old prospect" as something of a joke.

Did it have the cadence of a joke, though?

BUMP

[Tonker]

This thread is shit.  I'm going back to the other one.

[PenFoe]

Good stuff from Beyond the Box Score about how Jake is for real.

More talk about the cutter, but a lot more too.

Freakin' Coors Field.

[World's #1 Astros Fan]

Freakin' Coors Field.

Eh, Jake was due for a shitter.  Dude had been pitching out of his mind.  By the time he reached the inning in which he gave up 7 hits and was pulled--the 6th, I think--his season ERA had worked its way down to 2.05.

Now that he's got that out of the way, expect him to drink the blood of Milwaukee's non-believers next week, or something.

@Cubs_Chick mgr is an idiot tonight
lets hope doesnt crush jakes psychi

I feel like meatball sports fans who sputter stupid shit about DESE BUMS WHO'S CELERIES I PAY can be found in every fan base.

But these middle-aged suburban dad milquetoasts, who treat the major leagues like it's tee-ball and spend their days fretting about players' fee-fees and rooting for the undersized kid on the field to just have a fun time out there, seem like Cubs fandom's own very special breed of irritating.

Because this was the first time in Jake Arietta's life that he ever got rocked.
