Jake told me to give you this new Gatorade cooler, to replace your old one.
In fairness to the Orioles, they had no way of knowing his slider would develop into the unhittable Mariano Rivera cutter. But Buck must still be fuming.
I was watching the game at a Buffalo Wild Wings without sound. Why was Sean Rodriguez so infuriated, in comparison to his other teammates?
He got ejected.
This is pretty funny, to anyone but Grsz11, I’m guessing.
[Golf clap] Well played my friend. 
Total nonsense. I’m certainly no Cubs fan, but there’s no reason whatsoever Arrieta would have been intentionally hitting anyone last night. What purpose would it have possibly served?

*This *is pretty funny, IMO.
It ain’t like Cubs fans have a whole lot of practice being graceful winners, you know? It’s sort of undiscovered territory.
ETA: Also, I’m pretty much forced to point out to the OP that there is almost certainly a lengthy line of Cubs fans who will be more than happy to fuck Jake Arrieta. If they actually manage to win the pennant, that line will run into the hundreds of thousands. That man will be up to his eyebrows in ass. I’m just sayin’.
Nope…born in Santa Monica raised in Orange County and Im an Angels fan. Arietta threw two high and inside message pitches last night shockingly in a one game playoff. If I were the batter I would have swung at the next pitch and ‘accidently’ had the bat slip from my hands. My only objection to Arietta getting hit is that he wasnt hit a little higher (not in the head). Also I give the Pirates credit for going after the pitcher and not an innocent fielder. I cant wait for the Cubs to fold in another amazing unexpected way this playoff.
OK…maybe Ill dial back a little and claim that he was sending a message by pitching high and tight. Its not stuff we see in a normal regular season game.
I’m not a Cubs fan, but only an asshole would think he did that on purpose. Putting guys on base with no outs in a winner takes all playoff game, no pitcher dose that. Pittsburg looked like a bunch of whiny babies taking their ball and going home.
Who said he meant to hit him? He was trying to intimidate by coming hard high and inside. He had done it earlier. And why the hell would he worry about putting a guy on first when he had his best stuff?
He was pitching on three days rest and had a pitch that was getting away from him so bad that he had to stop using it. A mature team would have recognized that and hopefully tried to capitalized on it. A bunch of babies would throw at him, cry while punching Gatorade coolers and hit into two double plays. It was a win or go home situation, you shouldn’t give an inch, instead they gave him the game.
Arrieta was not trying to hit anyone.
The Pirates tried and succeeded in hitting Arrieta because they are a bunch of idiots.
Arrieta needed to take his ass to first and shut the fuck up.
Rodriguez was incensed because someone had him by the throat in the scrum.
That’s my take on the whole mess.
Now, Cubs, beat the St. Louis Cockroaches.
ETA: I commented during the game that he looked like a guy you’d meet in the wilderness in post-apocalyptic America. Probably someone who would eat your face.
Preferably played on the world’s tiniest violin.
First pitch after the dust up he stole second. I think he won that round.
You say you arent a Cubs fan :dubious:
I’ve been a Mariners fan my whole life, but I also like watching playoff baseball. I just couldn’t believe a team would implode like that with so many innings to go.
Maybe he’s just a fan of whoever is playing whiny pussies.
Arrieta was the whiner here. The only reason there was any delay on the field is that he couldn’t take a plunk (on almost the least painful spot) without yapping.
